High School Students Rock!

We are so glad you are here!  Today, we celebrating senior Amy Mireles!  Her rodeo painting has earned Amy over $20,000 toward her college education.  She is so blessed by God's provisions and thrilled her painting is to hang forever more in the Rodeo's Cowboy Church!

Also, if you ever need to uplift your week stop by either the MS or HS chapels on Thursdays in the new Student Life Center.  The high school chapel begins with pledges led by Student Council officers; followed by the weekly news report from the KSAC News Team.

Before the weekly speaker, our Praise & Worship team leads a time of praise.  God has blessed our students with so many talents!

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend and please join us on the blog next week for more up to the minute reports!

Blessings!!

Time In The Garden

When SACS first opened on Redland Road almost fifteen years ago, the leadership desired a place on this beautiful property for prayer and worship.  Though small, the Prayer Garden was born.

In those days, it was common to see one or more of our students sitting before the cross in prayer.  The garden became a place of peace, refuge, and to meet the Lord.

When my oldest son was in eighth grade, one of his classmates was severely injured in a hunting accident.  His class met in the Prayer Garden and hit their knees on behalf of a friend they had known since kindergarten.  He was family.  The young man took a turn for the best as our prayers were answered.

That same son met his future wife in high school at SACS, and would return after their college graduation, to go his knees in the prayer garden and say, "In this place where we met, before God, I would like to ask you to be my wife."

SACS has always been a place for family and worship.  Let us all pray daily without ceasing and remember to visit the garden.
