PRAISE and PETITION
We thank God for the time investment and DEDICATION OF OUR COACHES:
- Mr. Hoving and Mr. Bruce Vrieling for coaching senior boys basketball from Nov. to Feb.
- Mr. Sjaarda and Mr. Eric Vrieling for coaching junior boys basketball from Nov. to Feb.
- Mr. Jody Keats (past parent), Mr. Dykxhoorn, and Mr. Eric Vrieling for coaching the TDChristian team at the Varsity Hockey Christian Schools Tournament
We thank God for what the STUDENTS SHARED at each of the Grade 9, 10, and 11 Roundtable meetings.
PLEASE PRAY FOR CLARITY as students make COURSE SELECTIONS for the '23-24 school year.
PLEASE PRAY for Grade 12 students as they wait for and decide acceptances for universities, colleges, and other programs including Act Five. Some are discerning whether or not to return for a FIFTH year. We are excited that at least 8 students have indicated a strong interest in returning and being TAs (which results in tuition savings).

FIRE HALL THRIFT (FHT)
CHECK OUT THE STORE! Every day it gets better thanks to the work of volunteers and our new supervisor, Sandra Allen. Come and buy!
Have an idea? Email Sandra by clicking here.
A MESSAGE from SANDRA!
I’ve been very thankful for the wonderful response for volunteer parents (and guardians)! And did you work hard!!
Saturdays are especially fruitful: we also get a lot of furniture moved, which is great! I’m hearing so many compliments from our customers!
I’m trying to set up a weekly Work Evening. So far I’ve had TWO parents show up, and they made a nice difference.
For now, I’d like to set aside WEDNESDAYS as A WORK EVENING. Come alone or come with a friend (especially one that isn’t a parent or guardian) or bring your TDCH student to collect hours for them as well.
If you are hoping to come, please contact me at 519-943-4434 before Tuesday evening so I can plan the jobs ahead of time. I will stay late if anyone wants to work.
Thanks everyone!!
