Singing at Kennewick Church: Thank you to the nine students/parents who responded to the note about our singing appointment at the Kennewick Church on January 22. The children are singing part of Isaiah 53. The service begins at 11:30 AM. Your child can sit with you until the children’s story. After they listen to the story up front, I will have them stay there and then sing. Thank you!

If you don’t receive a paper from the office telling you of your conference time, call Mrs. Hibbs. She has the master schedule.
