Did you know? State Farm and Caterpillar employees can help CLA
State Farm employees, as well as Caterpillar employees and retirees, are able to take advantage of matching funds from their companies to benefit Christian Life Academy. Caterpillar link is www.caterpillar.com/matching-gifts. This is an annual option, so you may look into this for 2024 also. State Farm has both a “good neighbor” program (volunteer hours equals a company donation) and a donor matching program throughout the year. If you want to take advantage of this, Mr. Horning or Mrs. Westley are glad to help!
From the Principal's Desk
Our focus in chapels for the past few weeks, which will continue until the close of the school year, is to see examples of Bible characters and their life on mission. Our theme for the year, from 1 Peter 4:10-11, is that we are “together on mission” wherever we go and whatever we do. Our most recent chapel we learned about the believers in Berea, who studied the Word of God carefully to understand that what had been told to them was truth. May we continue, always, to “examine the scriptures daily” as the Bereans did, and to be ready at all times to share the hope we have in Jesus!
Blessings,
Mr. Horning
