Principal’s Paragraph:
“He has Risen, He has Risen indeed!”
Dear Greenfield Families,
I hope you have enjoyed some special moments with your child(ren) this week reading through and reflecting on this Holy Week. As we head into Easter weekend, my prayer for you and your family is that you share the hope of Jesus Christ, our risen Savior, who has called us out of darkness and into the light (1 Peter 2:9).
During Knight’s Court this week we have been learning about the meaning of Easter and the message it brings. “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” – Matthew 28:6 May this weekend be filled with joyful moments, and reflection of how God displayed His unfailing love by sending Jesus to die on the cross for our sins (Romans 5:8).
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,.” – 1 Peter 1:3
Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Impacting the world for Christ,

This is such a great movie! We highly recommend seeing this movie over Easter weekend. Because of the high demand, the free tickets for kids are no longer available but don’t let that stop you from going! Please check out showtimes for theatres near you!
