Watch Our Opening Chapel
To kick off our 75th anniversary year, we gathered for an opening, all-school worship service in the gymnasium. The ES choir, staff choir, HS band, and HS worship team led us in worship while Mr. Mawhinney shared an inspiring message on responding in obedience to God's call when there is a need in front of us. It was a memorable chapel, worshiping God together as an entire school and dedicating the year to Him. You can take a look at a recording of our special worship service here:
