Christmas in the Park

We had a wonderful time performing on Tuesday night at Christmas in the Park. There was a huge crowd! Kindergarten and 1st grade performed first. We are so proud of all of our young friends!


Then after a couple of other groups, we sang with the 3rd and 4th grades. Thank you to everyone who came and cheered us on. Also, thank you to Junior Auxiliary for inviting us to participate. Here are a couple of pictures of us...

With love,
Ms. Eva

See You At The Pole

See you at the Pole isn't groups, grades, clothes or churches. It's about praying. It's about all of us coming together and laying aside all the labels for one day simply to call out to God, just as Jesus did in John 17 and say, "Lord may we be one in you--whether jocks, preps, geeks, Pentacostals, Baptists, Catholics, one-year-olds or 4th graders--may the world believe that You are real and have sent us to touch others through You, regardless of the dividing lines drawn by a broken world!"

So are you in? Are you ready for whatever group you're in to join us in the circle?

Join your generation of faith on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 at 8:00am, Gather in the front parking lot, Unite in the name of the One Who died to save you, and Pray for our school, friends, and families.
COME TOGETHER, just as Jesus prayed we would.

Covenant Academy will be ordering "See You at the Pole" shirts, these shirts may be worn on September 26, 2007.

Last day to order: August 31, 2007

You may give your order to your child's teacher or to Ms. Earline.

Thank You,
Ms. Earline
