Psalm 52

R. I trust in the mercy of God for ever. 

I, like a green olive tree
in the house of God,
Trust in the mercy of God
forever and ever. 

R. I trust in the mercy of God for ever. 

I will thank you always for what you have done,
and proclaim the goodness of your name
before your faithful ones. 

R. I trust in the mercy of God for ever.

Get the Text

Our Sunday evening robo-call has an additional feature that allows those with text options on their cell phones to opt-in to also receiving text messages from the school.

This is a great feature for use in emergency situations.

This is also a great feature for those who desire more frequent reminders about what's going on at school during the week.

Opt-in for texts is easy. Just text the word ALERT to 22300 from the phone used to receive texts.

If at any time opting-out is required, the instructions are written at the bottom of the text.
