Psalm 66

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, “How tremendous are your deeds!”

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

“Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you,
sing praise to your name!”
Come and see the works of God,
his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam.

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

He has changed the sea into dry land;
through the river they passed on foot;
therefore let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his might forever.

R. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Sports Pictures - April 23

Dear Sports Parents,

This year we have scheduled two afternoons for you to choose from to bring your child to have their individual sports picture taken. This is optional. It is not mandatory that a picture be taken of your child.

Mrs. Wendy LeSaicherre, with LeSaicherre Photography, will be here on Thursday, April 23, and Thursday, April 30, from 4:00-6:30 P.M. Every student must have adult with them for the picture. No student can be dropped off.

Please be sure to have your child dressed in their sports uniform. If they participated in more than one sport and you want to order pictures for each sport, you must fill out an order form for each sport. However, you may write one check for all of your orders.

Group sports pictures will not be taken during these times. Mrs. Little will take group sports shots during the school in their school uniforms.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please email cpinion@sjscrusaders.org.

Thank you.
