Heritage Christian School
We humbly ask our school community to continue lifting these students before the Lord — praying for His healing, His comfort, and His strength to be upon them, their families, and their friends as they recover.
As Scripture exhorts us, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).
May we remain steadfast in prayer, trusting in God’s unfailing love and sovereign care in this time of great need.
