Principal's Announcements

7th Sunday of Easter
On the last night of his life, Jesus prayed specifically for one thing for his followers: unity. His followers would witness to his name through their unity and fellowship with one another. In his priestly prayer recorded in John, Jesus asks that all who will come to believe in him might be one. On the darkest night of his life, he is thinking of love and union, and what is even more astonishing, he prays for us, his followers two thousand years in the future, that we might be united in him.

Union is the hallmark of Christians. We are united in Christ as adopted sons and daughters of our heavenly Father.
 
Heavenly Father, as we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and presence. Protect them as they protect us. ~Amen.
