Important Info:
Pathways Back in Session - This coming week, Pathways Middle School is back in session, so let’s be sure to be mindful of cleanliness this Sunday. Please encourage others to do so as well, as you see fit. They are an excellent landlord, and we want to treat this school as if it was our building. God will bless that attitude, and we will be a witness of God’s love to the staff!
