Kristian Moen, a 2007 TCA honor graduate has been given the opportunity to join the Eddie James Ministry Team. Kristian will be serving full time beginning December 8th. She will be ministering in the Philippines, Israel, and in other areas overseas. This particular group reaches out to the lost and hurting with a focus on youth in crisis. The ministry includes a powerful music, drama and dance team followed by teaching and preaching as well. They have a heart to reach our high school and college age youth for Christ with a message of rehabilitation and restoration through relationship building, character development, education, training and an intentional focus on assisting them toward finding and fulfilling their purpose. Jesus says these words (John 10:10) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

You can follow the Eddie James Ministry on the world wide web at http://www.ejworship.org
The artist and his ministry has a newly released CD listed as #20 on the gospel charts.

While touring in the states, Kristian will be in a different state approximately every three days. Kristian is currently a junior at Francis Marion University with a biology major. May God bless you on this journey.

Thank you Veterans

PLAN Testing Tuesday

Sophomores will be taking the PLAN test on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Testing begins at 8:00 am. The PLAN® program helps 10th graders build a solid foundation for future academic and career success and provides information needed to address schools' high-priority issues. It is a comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their current academic development, explore career/training options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school and post-graduation years. As a "pre-ACT" test, PLAN is a powerful predictor of success on the ACT; at the same time, PLAN can help students who are likely to enter the workforce directly after high school.See Mrs. Amy Glover for more information.
