great time sharing about God's incredible provision and blessings to our school and it
was wonderful to include those who sacrificially invested in the past to build the founda-
tion of what we enjoy today. Recognizing those who are currently making this vision a
reality was also a joy and I trust the vision cast for the future of MVCA was clear and
exciting for all who came. Seeing students and adults dancing, enjoying an incredible
meal and fruitful conversations was truly a joy to experience. I'd like to thank Julie and
Viktra for their help in making this celebration a reality.
