This week’s Beacons of the Week are the H2O for Life Student Organized Service (SOS) group and the student and faculty participants of this year’s Shantytown, as featured in the Lead Article. These Upper School participants spent this past weekend learning about and building awareness of the water crisis and homelessness in our city, country, and throughout the world. If you have not read about this yet, click the title to read more.

Please join us for Priscilla Shirer's "Gideon". The study will encourage you to recognize your weakness as they key that the Lord gives you to unlock the full experience of His strength in your life. Instead of ignoring, neglecting, or trying to escape your weakness, learn to see them as gifts given specifically and strategically by God. Please purchase books prior to our first study through Amazon or Lifeway.  The study will run every week on Mondays from 8:35 - 10:00 a.m.  Dates for the study are:   October 15 & 22, November 5, 12, 19 & 26 and December 3 & 10.  Please contact Blake Thompson for location and more information if you are interested. blakelthompson@gmail.com
