Love That Remains Our final Week of Worship of the year


For PAA's April Week of Worship, our students were poured into, prayed over, and pointed to the one love that never fails. Each day, a different staff member opened their heart and spoke straight into theirs. One week. One unchanging truth.


Tuesday, Miss Merrills gave our students something to hold onto in every season. Life changes. Seasons shift. Circumstances come and go. But our students walked away reminded that God's love never wavers. No matter what they face, nothing can separate them from it. In every high and every low, His love remains constant, faithful, and near.


Wednesday, Mrs. Heald invited our students into Deuteronomy 7:18–19 and challenged them to look back. In every moment, seen and unseen, God's faithfulness has shown up again and again. Our students were reminded that sometimes they don't need something new. They just need to remember how good He has been.


Thursday, Mr. Heald challenged our students to live differently. Drawing from Ephesians 3:18–19, he pushed them to see that if they've truly experienced the width, length, height, and depth of God's love, there's no way they can keep it to themselves. Hoarded love isn't the love of God. Real love moves. It reaches. It sacrifices.


Friday, Mr. Jesse sent our students out with a calling. Loving God will lead them to love the people around them, especially those on the margins. God's love will take them to messy places. They are not here to prove to people that they are Christians. They are here to show people they are loved.


Friday Evening · Campus Ministries & Pastor Fernando

To close the week, about 60 students, staff, and families gathered for an Agape Feast and Communion service. Our seniors stood up and led communion as the servant leaders they are. There was worship, good food, and a whole lot of love in that room. A beautiful ending to a beautiful week.


Throughout the week, students didn't just hear messages, they engaged, reflected, and were invited to respond. It was a meaningful close to the year's Weeks of Worship, reminding our students that God's love remains, and that they are called to live that love every day.
