Dear MCA Parents,
 

As we gather this Thanksgiving around tables, in living rooms, or even in the quiet moments of rest, I invite us to pause and remember God's faithfulness. Every joy, every challenge, and every moment of growth this year has been held in his hands.


Thank you for the countless ways that you've supported our mission each and every day—your faithfulness sustains and strengthens this community.


From all of us here at Maranatha, Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family.

 

Blessings,
Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
