We are looking forward to gathering as a Faith Family for a time of Thanksgiving on Wednesday, November 24th! All Faith families are invited to join the students at school for a few events. The sanctuary will open at 10:00 to begin the festivities with the Elementary Heritage Day Parade at 10:15 followed by a time of Praise and Worship at 11. We will also spend some time sharing what we are thankful for as well as announce the amount raised during the FCS Gives Back fundraiser. After that we will head outside for a picnic. All students K-12 will be dismissed at 12:30 to leave for the Thanksgiving weekend. 

Remember that any students who did not order lunch should bring a bagged lunch that does not require preparation. The picnic will take place on the field. We encourage you to bring blankets or lawn chairs. Everyone will be offered a personal pie, regardless if they order a sandwich or not, and there will be no charge. We look forward to spending the day together!

Secondary students may wear jeans and the current theme shirt for this special day. Elementary students will be in their costumes.

Dads in Prayer will not meet this week due to Thanksgiving Break.  We will begin again on December 3rd. Please keep the school and our students in your prayers over the holiday weekend. 
Santa to a Senior continues this week. This service project gives students and families the opportunity to select ornaments off of a tree in the office with gift requests from senior citizens in a nearby nursing home. Those who wish to participate will need to sign-out their ornament using the form located in the office. Please remember to sign the form again when returning the ornament attached to the Christmas item for that senior. All ornaments and wrapped gifts need to be returned by December 3rd. 
Congratulations to our October Scrip Contest winner: Lisa Bierlein!  She won a $25 gift card of her choice just by purchasing a minimum of $100 worth of Scrip products during the month of October.  There is still time to qualify for November's drawing!  

Monday, December 6th, will be the last order for physical gift cards this semester.  Orders may be placed online by going to

Using gift cards for your holiday shopping and gift giving needs is a great way to support our school and earn $ toward your tuition/fees!
