Happy Mother’s Day to all our Embers moms!
 
May God’s grace continue to strengthen and bless these special women who guide, support, and inspire their children each day.

In recognition of the courage and sacrifice of the brave men and women who serve in our military, police, and fire departments, we would like to take a moment during the assembly to acknowledge your service to community and country.
 
We would be honored to have you celebrate with us.
