Dear UCA Family,

“For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37

MISSION TRIPS
It is almost Spring Break, and with it comes vacation for some, and mission trips for others.  Our school has a group going to Kenya this year, with 30 students and four staff flying out to Nairobi this morning.   The UCC mission trip to Guatemala leaves Wednesday morning, and ten of our students will be participating.  We also have students who will be going on other mission trips with their families to serve in different countries.  Please pray for those who will be traveling and ministering for the Lord in various places in the following weeks.
