Wasn’t last night’s Christmas program fantastic? I am still smiling about it this morning! Our students did a wonderful job in leading us in a night of worship for our Savior! A special thanks to Mrs. Stivers for the many hours of rehearsals and preparation that went into the program.

As you know, we had a huge turnout and we ran out of programs at the door! I have attached a copy of the program in case you didn’t receive one and would like to print it for a keepsake – click here. I hope all of you have a great weekend!
