Introducing our Bible Verse of the Year for 2026–2027: 1 Peter 4:10 💙
This year, the color blue represents SERVICE — a reminder that the gifts God has given each of us are meant to be shared with others.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
May this verse guide our students, staff, and families throughout the year as we learn to serve with purpose, humility, and love.
