Tonight Pastor Chris Ewings will be continuing his evening
Bible class entitled “Making Life Better”. In this class, participants will

Coming up next
week (October 5-9) the students in grades 3 to 8 will be participating in Terra Nova and Inview standardized testing. These tests
allow us to compare our students’ abilities with students from our fellow synod
schools as well as students in public and private education across the U.S.
There is no advance studying necessary for these tests, but it is important
that the students are well rested and have a proper breakfast and lunch this
week to allow them to put forth their best efforts and give us an accurate
assessment of their skills.
