Outreach Chapel Offerings

He's got the whole world in His hands.... and so does Forest Hills Lutheran School as we continue to reach out to those in need. Our Chapel offerings this fall will be supporting Angel Bolivar , from Ecuador. We have helped to support Angel since 2001 through Compassion International. Our Chapel offerings assist him with school, food, clothing and a relationship with God. Any additional money is used to remember him with a gift at Christmas and on his birthday. It only takes 20 cents from EVERY student each month to help Angel have a quality life without poverty. Please keep Angel in your prayers and hearts as we continue with this mission.
