In our Board of Christian Education meeting, Monday, April 13, we have decided to monitor the situation for any possible resumption of direct in-school instruction prior to the end of the 2019-20 term. I hope to have a decision to announce before this week is out. As I stated last week, all depends of course on whether the governor terminates the shelter in place order currently in effect. Secondly, we would want to make certain that it is safe to resume normal operations with respect to COVID 19 health concerns. If these conditions cant be satisfied, then ALS would continue

Normally it is ALS policy is to follow the lead of the Jefferson Parish Public School System. In our Board of Christian Education meeting, Monday, April 13, we have decided to monitor the situation for any possible resumption of direct in-school instruction prior to the end of the 2019-20 term. I hope to have a decision to announce before this week is out. As I stated last week, all depends of course on whether the governor terminates the shelter in place order currently in effect. Secondly, we would want to make certain that it is safe to resume normal operations with respect to COVID 19 health concerns. If these conditions can’t be satisfied, then ALS would continue

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life? Have you found yourself wondering where is God in the midst of all the pain, chaos, and uncertainty of your life? Then I invite you to join us for this weeks Bible Study, Greater Than. This is a study that was put together by Francis Chan, where he will help us, walking through his own difficult childhood, to understand that God is greater than any pain, sin, or hardship that we may encounter in life. We will meet together at 1pm Monday thru Friday afternoon this week (April 20-24), to discuss this concept together, to dive into God's Word, and to care for one another out of Christian brotherly/sisterly love. You will be able to join us through Zoom and you can find the login information at the end of this email. This is a great way to take a break in the middle of your day, and to spend some time with God and with others, and to grow in your peace, understanding, and faith. Hope to see you there! Tim Schutt is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
