This Week at WCA, September 29th
September 29, 2021
It was an exciting day on campus as the upper school prepared to depart for SharpTop Cove in Jasper. Three charter buses and the WCA bus were loaded with happy students, faculty, lots of gear, and they were enthusiastically waved on their way by lower school students. They go with our prayers for safety, spiritual renewal and lots of fun!

As we go through our days, please remember to keep the following WCA family in your prayers. Also, please email Tami Butts (tbutts@wcalions.org) with updated and/or new prayer requests. It is an honor to pray for each other.
Please be in prayer for our upper school art teacher, Jackie Kirsche, as she walks through her ovarian cancer journey. It is with great thanksgiving that we can report that Jackie's cancer has responded to the treatments, and she has now completed her course of chemotherapy. From here, she will be on a maintenance regimen. Please pray for returning strength and health and join us with praises to God for this positive outcome. Thank you for remembering Jackie, her husband Kevin and children Berkley (class of 2013), Sierra (class of 2016) and Hadley (class of 2018).
Prayer requests are included here at the request, or with the permission of the family.
