After the Thanksgiving Break Pastor Eckert, will lead chapel next week. Hymn of the month for the school is “Praise and Thanksgiving” and hymn of the month for the ECC is “My God is so great”. The Bells will play and Ms. Lackey s’s PK3 class will sing. 2nd Grade will recite scripture. Offerings this month will go to Lutheran Ministry to the Armed Forces. Parents are invited and encouraged to join us for chapel throughout the year, but we ask that you sit in the last four rows, and of course, your child may sit with you. You may also sit with your child in their class row, but we ask that you sit near the outside of the row, so as not to block the view of the children sitting behind you. Chapel begins at 8:15. If you have any prayer requests, please let your child’s teacher know and they will inform our worship leader and we will include those requests in our prayers
