Moms In Prayer
This week we’re praying for our 8th grade teachers and students.
Attribute: God is the King of Glory — One who is powerful; one who deserves great honor and praise
We’re a group of Moms passionate about lifting up our kids and ACS faculty and staff in prayer — we are undaunted by COVID and will continue to pray every Thursday, 8-9am. If you’d like to join us via Zoom, please do! Below are the details. If you have trouble signing on, give me a call (Kelly, 616.304.2963)

From 2:30-2:50pm the car loops are for preschool families only. If you get to school before 2:50 please park in the lot and leave the car loops open for our preschool families. Thank you!
