I hope everyone had a nice relaxing spring break. Whether you went somewhere or stayed at home with your family, I hope you had time to relax and refresh yourselves. This week is Holy Week. It is one of my favorite weeks to teach. The preparations, heaviness, but also the joy and hope that Easter gives us as Christians and to be able to teach, it is a beautiful thing!  Remember, we will not have chapel on Wednesday. We will have chapel on Maundy Thursday at 8:25 am, then have a Good Friday chapel on Thursday afternoon. We will have indoor pick up and ask that everyone is quiet out of respect. Thank you!
