The students at OSNAS are always looking for ways to serve their community! During Spirit Week (in September) the 11th and 12th Grade Girls Bible Class was introduced to the ministry of Mercy House. This is a locally run ministry that provides services and housing for teenage girls who are homeless; some are pregnant and others have children. The students were encouraged to adopt a ministry to sponsor and it was unanimous that the Girls Bible class wanted to find a way to help Mercy House. With that in mind, the idea of a Walk-a-thon was born. The class walked 3.1 miles on November 17, 2020 and had friends and family sponsor them. The response was overwhelming! Many of the 9th and 10th graders, as well as all of the Juniors and Seniors participated in the event. The young ladies were able to raise 1,700 dollars to send to Mercy House. Their generosity touched the residents and director of the ministry. The day was a success, filled with fun, fellowship and school spirit as the participants experienced what a blessing it is to serve others in Jesus Name!
