\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> This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: <\/span> Zechariah 4:6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> FIC Article:\u00a0 Resurrection Reset<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Sporting Events Calendar<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n May Lunch Menu<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n 2026-2027 Calendar<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Please share this information with your children.<\/b><\/p>\n HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL MOMS TODAY.\u00a0 MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR DAY!<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Singing Schedule:<\/b> Thursday, May 21, 6:30 K-7 Sing in the Graduation Service<\/span><\/p>\n Mission offering: Teacher appreciation week: Reading Challenge Sheets: Jerry\u2019s BP Spirit Pump Supports St. Stephen\u2019s: Financial Peace University<\/b>:<\/h2>\n
