The Demise of a Great Leader

Our introduction to the study of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Can you tell the story?






We Were Made to Thrive

This Wednesday at Mount Salem Christian Secondary School left me extremely proud of my students as we ended the day in chapel, studying the book of James. Through our 21-minute study, we discovered many practical applications in which James challenges us to partake. I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks as we reflect and meditate on these actions and apply them to our daily lives. I praise God for giving me this opportunity to teach at this school, as I have been so greatly blessed by these students and staff members. We were made to thrive!
