Nathan Blust, Central Trail Elementary Principal: (2/27/25) I wanted to say thank you for all of the support that your church has shown myself and our school as we navigate this season. I heard great things about the prayer night Tuesday and it means so much to me. I receive the notes and I am going to open a few per day. The one’s I opened today were just what I needed. Receiving encouragement and relevant Bible verses from students is quite the feeling. You guys are doing an awesome job there! I am blessed to be a part of this community and appreciate you guys more than you know.
