A Magical Night

GOD IS GOOD!

GCA's Winter Festival was a magical and successful night!

After Hurricane Michael, our committee decided that we would focus on a fun evening for our GCA families and friends and allow God to handle the rest. As God always does, he delivered. Our school will net $40,000 from this year's festivities.

With this money, the school plans to continue to improve our campus and learning experiences.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, attended, and purchased.
Together, led by Our Savior, we hit our goal!

Gently used and new blankets, coats, scarves, and winter hats can be dropped off at any Southwest Georgia Farm Credit office, or at Grace Christian Academy in Bainbridge, through Monday, December 17th.
