The Baccalaureate program at Greate Bay Country Club on Monday, June 4 was a time of prayer, praise, and presentation of awards and scholarships to the Class of 2018. Four faculty members — Mike Bohs, Dave Genter, Pam Hitchner, and Gregg Laskow — also gave parting words of advice to the seniors, reminding them to draw upon the Biblical foundation built at ACS and to follow the plans God has for their lives. Thank you to the individuals, organizations, and businesses who donated close to $4,000 in scholarships and awards to recognize our seniors for their academic achievements, commitment to community service, and for displaying Christian character traits.
