ACS held a special time of all-school prayer and worship at the start of the school day on Thursday, May 2 to mark the National Day of Prayer. Students from preschool to the 12th grade, teachers, and staff joined hands to form a continuous chain of unity throughout the school’s first floor hallways and in the gym. Various students and staff led prayer over the intercom, seeking God’s blessing, guidance and protection for our government and its leaders, for the church community, families, and business leaders, and for those serving in the media arts, the military, and education.
Those who led in prayer included: 5th grader Gabriella Goodwin, 12th grader Solomon Griffith, 5th grade teacher Bethany Kiefer, 8th grader Alli Lushina, 5th grader Lydia McCarthy, 12th grader Joshua Mizrahi, and PreK2 teacher Nicole Warriner. Staff member Kelly Flynn sang the worship song “Clean” by Natalie Grant and faculty member Zach Monroe offered the closing prayer, emphasizing the theme of this year’s National Day of Prayer — to importance of showing show love to one another through our actions and words.
