OSNAS Gets Ready to Show Spirit!

For a Christian, every week is Spirit Week. “No can confess that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:3). Nevertheless, it’s nice to set aside a specific time to celebrate God’s work in our lives. He enables us to show forth the “Fruit of the Spirit” such as love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. We look forward to displaying these fruits throughout all the activities and opportunities in the days ahead. Here’s what’s going on…

OSNAS Updates:

1. The PTC meets tonight at 7:00PM in the library. All interested parents invited.
