Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Parents, family and friends, speaking on behalf of the South Side staff, we want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! We thank you for your love, support and prayers. This is a unique partnership which we treasure as, together, we are growing our little ones to love the Savior who came to earth to save a broken people.

And a HUGE thank you for supporting our effort to reach out in love to those in need around the world. In all, we collected $1,810.90 to purchase gifts which we hope will spread love and hope to God's children around the world. Our own second grader, Seth Navis, did a wonderful job during our chapel celebration helping our students understand how life in Guatemala has some differences from what we know as our "normal", but that, most importantly, God loves His people no matter where they are found on earth. You may click on the caption below to view the presentation we enjoyed during chapel.

May you bless and be blessed this Christmas!
