Hello DCA Families!
I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying your time with your family. I have included 3 links for you this week. The first one is a shout out to all of my students and a little something about our first song in the “O Chicken of Little Faith” musical, “This Summer.” The second video is of me reading the monthly story that goes along with our new Chapel Hymn of the Month, “Up From the Grave He Arose.” The third link is a lyric video of a gentleman playing the piano that includes lyrics on the screen for your family to sing along with. Don’t forget to stand up enthusiastically on the chorus! Praise The Lord! Christ Arose!!

A Verse For My Heart Scripture:
“For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so,
 through Jesus, God will bring with him those 
who have fallen asleep [in Him].” 1 Thessalonians 4:14

Prayer From My Heart:
“Lord Jesus, I am so happy that You crushed the devil under Your feet. 
Because you rose up out of the grave, it means You defeated
the dark, evil powers forever. Help me to resist the devil 
and put on Your armor every day. I want to be a good soldier. 
I want to follow You, my Lord and my Victor! Amen” 

Sending love and prayers to all my sweet students and their families!
Know that you are being prayed for!
I Love to Sing His Praises,
Mrs. Wilson
