5th Grade Chapel

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
James 1:27
The word of God exhorts us to take care of the orphans and widows of the world that are alone and hurting and feel that they have no hope. It is the prayer of the entire fifth grade that God will use them to minister to these children and families in some way in our own community. On Friday January 8th, the fifth grade led chapel for the entire elementary school to put a focus on that need in our world and in our own community. Fifth grade students led worship and read monologues written by students from the perspective of an orphan. They even ran the sound booth for the chapel. After a slide show presentation Pastor Doug Sauder, President of 4kids of South Florida, spoke to the students about what they could do for orphans right here in Broward County. We give God all the glory for the outstanding presentation the students made and the memorable and moving encouragement we received from our speaker. Fifth grade asks for your continued prayers as they look to bless orphans and single mothers this school year.
