Reflection
Thank you, Lord, for all of the blessings You provide. Guide me to grow in service through a heart centered on the love that comes through the Spirit. Without You I have nothing. Every good and perfect gift comes from You. Help me wisely steward the gifts You've entrusted to me. Help me to continue to be an example of a life filled with generosity and love. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Clothes Closet News
Clothes Closet will be open for your back-to-school uniform needs AUGUST 17th 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Bring a grocery bag/tote and fill it for $20! We will only be able to accept cash as we are updating the online payment platform. We are so thankful for all of the donations we receive; however, at this time, we will not be taking any more donations. We need to reduce our inventory and make room for more!

You can email Amy Nguyen at [email protected] and Shelly Adams at [email protected].
New Dismissal App
We are very excited to announce that we will continue our Pick-up Dismissal protocols, but with a much stronger application. PickMyKid App will allow us to expand on our successful dismissal procedures and provide parents with greater control and consistency. Over the next weeks we will provide all of our parents with detailed information regarding the new capabilities, but for now we hope that you will take a moment to download and register your account.
