This semester, students from preschool through high school collaborated on an art installation just outside the MAC, facing Shelton Circle. Led by MPCS art teachers, the piece, titled “Fishers of Men,” is made up of a colorful collection of ceramic fish created by MPCS students. May this art be a continual reminder to all of us of Jesus’ calling on our lives.

We'll See You at Preschool Graduation

Each year, we celebrate the progress of our Pre-K4 students during the MPCS preschool graduation. It's a special time to pray over each child and the future God has planned for them. This year's preschool graduation will be held on May 18 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. in the Kristi Lynn Theatre, Murray Arts Center. Pre-K4 students will be dismissed for the day after the ceremony. We are so grateful to have been a part of the preschool journey and to share the love of Jesus with each of these students.
