Dear Valley Evangelical Covenant Church,
As a school we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation. In a time when so many organizations are seeing a decline in their financial resources we recognize the significance of your generosity.
We have been so amazed at God's abundant provision throughout the years that we have been in operation. And even during these strange and challenging times His provision continues. Thank-you for being a part of this.

It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me

Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Christ alone cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm He is Lord

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

He is Lord Lord of all

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne
