Prayer and Fasting/Early Voting
We will have a day of prayer and fasting on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. This is a significant day and we want to pray for righteous leaders to be elected for our federal, state, and local government offices.

Early voting is open now for Texas residents and until election day on March 3. Linked are the ballots for both the Republican and Democratic parties to review. Please be in prayer for the Lord’s will to be done through this special privilege that we as American citizens have in the election process.

Campus Staff Sale
There is a campus wide staff sale scheduled for April 17–18. If you have further questions or would like to list larger items, please contact Michele Weiss. 
Gluten-Free Meal Policy Update
Our gluten-free meal policy has recently been modified. Moving forward, the Kitchen will not be preparing gluten-free meals everyday. While the Kitchen will continue to take care of the allergies of those paying tuition/volunteering, their meals will not necessarily be an exact substitute. Full gluten-free options will only be available only during multiple day events (3+ meals) or ministry banquets. These meals will be available for staff at the increased rate of $1/each and will only be available with prior RSVP (not at the door). We will be adding an RSVP section for these special gluten-free opportunities and issuing gluten-free meal priced cards to the appropriate staff.  
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
The attitudes of resentment and entitlement can prevent us from flourishing as a servant-leader. When we give into these attitudes, we cease practicing life-giving leadership. These two attitudes commonly reside together and they feed off each other. When you feel resentful about something wrong on your team, it breeds a sense of entitlement that you deserve better. When you feel entitled to a perk or a different situation, you often begin to feel resentful that you don’t have it. It’s a vicious cycle. Let's do a moral inventory this week to see if there are areas of our Leadership where we have allowed these two attitudes to take root.
