Chapel The boys and girls of FGS go to chapel every Wednesday. Each year chapel is based off of a year long theme. This year’s them is “Oh Give Thanks.” Every week we praise the Lord and give thanks for the many gifts God daily bestows on us! The children sing uplifting praise songs and traditional Lutheran hymns. The children especially enjoy the songs with motions and movement. Each class shares a weekly Bible memory verse or a song with the rest of the school. These memory exercises will be held in the hearts and on the minds of our students for years to come. As our program has developed we have realized the importance of the children being involved in the worship process not only as learners but also as leaders. The sixth graders lead the weekly prayers and the Psalm readings. Several classes have occaisionally performed a short skit to go with the weekly theme. Many of our teachers give of themselves and offer the weekly message several times a year. We also have many fabulous guest speakers who come and share the Gospel message. We collect a monthly offering to help others in need. Over the last year we have helped collect money, food, clothing, and toys for many different organizations. This year so far we have helped to support the Autism Foundation of Nevada, Lutheran Social Services, Operation Christmas Child, Lutheran Braile Ministries, First Choice Pregnancy Center, and Smile Train. Our chapel program is run by Mrs. Hines our second grade teacher and vice principal. Please feel free to attend our chapel any time, all are invited and welcome! Our chapel is each Wednesday from 8:45 AM to 9:30 AM. Thanks be to God!
