WE ARE HIS MINISTRY TO APPEAR AT TCA

"We Are His Ministry", a drama team from Grace Christian Fellowship Church of Manning is returning to TCA for a performance on Thursday, October 17th. We Are His is actually a group of 10 young people ranging from the 6th grade to the 12th grade who perform interpretive drama, mime, and music ministry. They travel to various location in and around a tri-county area to witness to God's glory which shows the truth of our Lord's desires here on earth. Having a saving, personal relationship with each individual is truly the divine plan. It is even more dramatic when you consider that these are young students giving of their time and efforts to introduce others to their faith. The public is invited to attend this praise and worship celebration on October 17th, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in the school gym. The Carolina Academy FCA is sponsoring this performance. This is a free event, no admission fee is required.

Grieving With You! LMA

The Carolina Academy family extends our deepest sympathy and love to the LMA family in this extremely difficult time. The loss of three young boys is indeed such a tragedy. Our entire staff, student body, and extended family expressed trememdous sorrow to you. Our prayers will be continuous for the two families as well as the LMA school! I am sure each and every one will be with you in heart and spirit these next few weeks. WE LOVE YOU!


Services for Cody and Jessi Parnell will be at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday at the LMA gym.

Services for Cody Hall have not been finalized.
