March 10th Note

  God’s Love in Action
  This Lenten season we again receive the wonderful opportunity to see an amazing love in action. So often our love can be a love of just words or emotions. Thankfully God did not stop at just words, but acted through his own Son, Jesus. We especially see that love in action during the Lenten season, watching all that Jesus went through to claim us as his own.

• Students will be deciding which style of trophy to purchase from winning Spirit Week in the next couple of days.

• Last week the students had an entertaining, and interesting performance by Ken Bergmann. He was quite funny and very loud on his numerous percussion instruments. Some students were able to participate in performing a radio skit with him.
• Don’t forget the many ways in which you can help support Apostles. Check the school website for the different opportunities.
