A Cloud of Witnesses, a Community of Support

We were treated this past Saturday to an evening of 'Upstanding Comedy' with Timmy Boyle who provided the entertainment for the annual board fundraiser.  The evening was capped off with some very humourous antics involving our fearless Executive Director.  If you were not there, you'll have to ask around, but it involved a duet, long hair, a headband, and some creative harmony.  The rest may be floating around on the Internet for your enjoyment.
The evening was not only fun, but a reminder of the amazing support we have for Christian education.  Long time supporters, new to NACE friends, family connections who traveled in for the event, staff from both school sites, and of course our board of directors all spent a few hours celebrating the gift of community over great food and laughter.
Not forgetting that this event is a fundraiser, it's exciting to report that we were able to raise over $18,000.  It's wonderful to experience the ongoing excitement for what Christian Education has done and is doing in the lives of our students and families.  A big thank you to the board and their support network (spouses, friends and family members) for pulling together an evening of celebration.  To God be the glory!
