East Hill Christian School

Prayer Guide

The purpose of this prayer journey is to mobilize the East Hill family to pray for our school.  We desire to seek God's blessing, His protection, and His wisdom as we endeavor to teach and reach our students and their families.  Our goal is to be a community of people who pray for each other and who give God the glory in all circumstances.
