Dear Parents and Guardians,
“Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” (John 4:13-14)
To have faith means to have a pathway to eternal life with the Lord. So never lose faith. Do not let despair seek in on difficult days. Trust in God who is forever faithful to his people.
Let us sing joyfully to the Lord,
Ms. Danielle Gonzalez
