The halls are full again! Our students and preschoolers arrived with backpacks, big smiles, and plenty of first day excitement. We gathered for opening chapel to begin the year the way we always do, together in God’s Word and prayer, and to introduce this year’s theme: Rooted in Christ. As Paul writes in Colossians 2:7, we are “rooted and built up in him,” growing strong in faith and overflowing with thankfulness. Here’s a look at day one at Epiphany Lutheran School.
