Remember in Prayer! Our students, teachers, & staff as they go back to school/college. We declare the words of Jeremiah for each one, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
We pray 2025 – 2026 is a wonderful, safe, & fun year for all. We pray that students and adults can let their light shine for Christ. May God bless you.
