					<description><![CDATA[Our high school students traveled to the processing center in Atlanta for Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child. In late October, these students raised $8,000 on their own, and shopped for and filled 275 shoeboxes. During their time in Atlanta, they prepared the shoeboxes to be shipped, which included getting a Bible, so that people who might not otherwise hear the gospel, will get to. We pray the shoeboxes would go into the hands of children who will come to know and believe "that the Lord is God; there is no other" (1 Kings 8:60). We are believing that God is going to do a mighty work through this day of service, not only with the shoeboxes that will be sent all over the world, but also in our own hearts.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We had a very special All-School Chapel this week with a worship band that represented all areas of our school, including our students, faculty and staff.

As we continue to seek opportunities to connect our upper school with our lower school, our older grades are "adopting" our younger grades this year. This began with a unique seating arrangement that paired our older students with our younger students during the worship service.

We closed the service with a time of prayer for our 12th graders (the Class of 2020) and our Kindergarteners (the Class of 2032) together.

We are excited about our adopted classes as another way that we can be intentional about our connections across campus!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[February is World Impact Month, when our school takes time to learn about and celebrate missions, both locally and abroad. This year, our theme is "Follow You Anywhere," and our verse is 1 Peter 2:21:
"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps."
All grade levels are competing to raise funds for missions, and we have "Follow You Anywhere" T-shirts available for $20, with all proceeds going toward various mission projects supported by GCA and GCA families.
To learn more about World Impact Month, and to order a shirt, please click on this post.]]></description>
