Team Guatemala

Our class is a sponsor for one of the high school students who is part of the Guatemala Mission Team.  We hold this student (Maggie) in our prayers. In support for this mission our class has been asked to collect baby bottles, baby soothers, and sippy cups for the team to bring along when they visit the hospital for the sick babies/toddlers.  Your donations of  (new, or slightly used) items would be of great benefit!  Thank you for your support!

This month in chapel our theme is "LOVE".  Here is the memory work for the month of February:
