Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 3:13-14

Support the School by Christmas Shopping with Scrip - Stop by the Business Office to purchase gift cards for some of your favorite stores, restaurants and coffee houses. With every purchase of a Scrip card, a percentage goes back to Lincoln Christian! You can use the gift cards as a gift or use the cards to shop for gifts. Either way, you'll be helping LCS with every purchase. Don't forget that gift certificates make great gifts for teachers. We can also provide certificates that allow the individual receiving the gift to choose a gift card. If you have questions please contact the business office or Vicky Gray at vnrgray@yahoo.com .
