PRAISE and PETITION

We thank God for the GOODNESS OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES as noted in the intro as well as clubs, choir, and band. 

We are thankful for the people who helped plan FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY which highlighted Black History. Go to the Edsby announcements to find out how to view Mr. Samuels' devotions (five parts).

PLEASE PRAY FOR CLARITY as students make COURSE SELECTIONS for the '23-24 school year. Due dates are this week. See Day by Day.

We thank God for being able to conduct the CAREERS AND COURSE SELECTIONS EVENTS by Zoom this past Thursday. Zoom has been a blessing for connecting students and teachers during School-at-Home Days, too.

PLEASE PRAY for Grade 12 students as they wait for and decide on acceptances for universities, colleges, and other programs including Act Five, with whom we partner. 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 (student assistants in classrooms which can result in tuition savings).

We thank God for OVER 80 STUDENT APPLICATIONS FOR 2023-24. Please tell others about TDChristian where we endeavour to learn for service in the light of God's Word.
