Hillsdale Christian School chapel program held May 7

By Brenda Hoffsommer Hillsdale correspondent

Bobby Tennell’s sixth-grade class at Hillsdale Christian School presented a chapel program May 7.

Salutes to the Christian flag, American flag and Bible were led by Adam Eaton, Blaine Whitson and Blake Klassen. Andrea Messenger gave the opening prayer. Other sixth-grade students are Jessica Carpenter, Shay Vogt and Shane Reed. The subjects of the chapel were patience, choosing friends, trust and faith. Science experiments were performed to dem-onstrate each subject. Presley Moore, Peyton Watkins, Jonny Volpe and Emilee Marlatt were chosen from the audience to help with the experiments.

Bible verses highlighting the subjects were read by each sixth-grade student. The seven sixth-graders recited Colos-sians 3:1-14 in unison, then each student gave the fifth-grade students some advice to remember as they enter their sixth-grade year.
