Thanksgiving Chapel: A Morning Of Gratitude, Worship, And Fun!

When the frost is on the pumpkin, students and staff at PCA know that it's time for our annual Thanksgiving Chapel. This event never fails to fill our hearts with gratitude as we give thanks for all that the Lord has done!

 In keeping with COVID protocols and to accommodate our growing school, the annual Thanksgiving Chapel showcased the talents of Kindergarten, 4th grade, and 5th grade students only this year - which allowed for a more intimate celebration for families, and provided more performance time for the students.

 When asked about the new layout, Lower School Music Director Pam Hall said, “The children were so excited to be able to do more than one thing. We got to tell a story through God’s word, song, and dance.”

 Although different, there was nothing to fear, as Hall kept the traditional pieces that both students and parents look forward to each year including the kindergartners reciting Psalm 100 (with a special video guest appearance from the seniors) and the 5th graders performing rousing renditions of "When the Frost is on the Pumpkin" and “Cotton-Eyed Joe.” 

 Dr. Martin described the event as "Amazing and Christ-centered. The children did an outstanding job bringing joy and fun to the Thanksgiving Chapel.”

 Thank you to Pam Hall who created a wonderful program and to all the teachers who helped prepare their students for their performances. We are truly blessed here at PCA.

With Respect And Gratitude: We Honor Our Veterans

Driving down the streets last week, one could see American flags everywhere. They dotted Highway 17, were placed around roundabouts, and hung outside homes in honor of Veterans Day, a day to honor the men and women who served and are serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

Each year the PCA community - across the ages - joins the nation in honoring these heroes. Here's a look at how we celebrated these brave men and women.

Mike Doll, PCA's Band Director, took his 9th grade class to Somerby Senior Living center where the students played a selection of patriotic themed songs.
