Back to School

Most of our children are back to school today after a very long summer vacation. Some are being promoted to a higher grade while others are not. However, whatever grade it may be, we encourage our children to work very hard this school year. May God's blessings be with you.
We encourage all our teachers and wish them the very best in this school year as they play a major role in our children's lives. Parents be encouraging and supportive in our educational system, help your children and encourage them in their school work.

As a church throughout our Distrcit, Back to School Services are held. Some were held yesterday, August 30 while others will be held on Septmeber 6. We use these services to pray for our children and pleadge support to them as they go back to school.

"In our work and in our play,
Jesus, ever with us stay;
May we always always strive to be
True and faithful unto Thee.
Then we truthfully can sing:
'We are children of the King."
