\u201cTherefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Hebrews 12:1-3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> He will cover you with his feathers, Parent Conversations:\u00a0 Answering a teen’s hard questions<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Sporting Events Calendar<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n April Lunch Menu<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Please share this information with your children.
