Pastor Canaday, serving River of Life just east of Springfield on Hwy 60, came to lead our last chapel of the year. He talked about gift giving and the best gift ever. We sang some terrific Christmas songs and prayed for family and friends. Pastor Matt is a recent graduate from our St Louis Seminary and is good friends with our very own Pastor Parvey.

Mrs. Lynn Students Study Change in Matter-Bread

Gramma Brehmer came to third grade to help with a science project. Flour, water, yeast, a little oil and a touch of salt and sugar, next mix and mix again. Now wait and watch the dough grow. Punch it down and wait again. Making bread is a slow process. Bake it now and enjoy the smell. Let it cool, cut and butter and enjoy another successful science experiment. Thanks Gramma B.
