The Lower School loves to give to missions organizations that are committed to helping people find out about the love of Jesus.
- This Friday is the first of several opportunities that your student will have to begin to rebuild our mission fund so that we can be ready to help when and where needed.
- Last year, between our Monthly Missions Days and March Mission Month, we gave away over $91,000 to Water Missions, Light of Mine Ranch, Mission Impact, Feed Berkeley, Healing Farms, and Charleston Hope.
- Students who give at least $5 toward missions on Friday, may wear Out of Uniform attire. This link is open and ready to be used, please make sure you give before 8:00 AM on Friday. If you choose not to donate online, you can send $5 in on Friday with your student.
Remember we want students to learn to give sacrificially, to earn the money or give from their own savings or give up a toy or fast food meal they are wanting to buy so they can experience the joy of giving to people in need in order to spread the gospel of Jesus here at home and around the world.
