FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Greenfield Parents,
Middle School at GCS holds many exciting opportunities for growth, development, and fun! One of the milestones built into the culture at GCS is the Signature Trip. Each middle school class is blessed with the opportunity to spend a few days away from campus building community and experiencing God in powerful ways.
The spiritual focus for each camp this year:
- 6th Grade: Learning what it means to have an -Audience of One ~ Galatians 1:10.
- 7th Grade: Examining the question- Who Do You Follow? ~ John 8:12
- 8th Grade: Learning to have true faith- Fight the Good Fight- 1 Timothy 6:12-19
The goal of these intentionally planned trips is to lay foundations of teamwork, trust, and spiritual disciplines that will advance with our students into their adult lives. As our 8th graders return from their trip to Lost Canyon please join us in praying that God continues the growth that He initiated this week, and that our students will further grow in their new friendships with the students from the Agritopia and Val Vista campuses.
Impacting the world for Christ,
Happy Mothers Day to all of our Moms!
