LAFAYETTE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Celebration of Faith "Oh, the Places You'll Go" was the theme of the Celebration of Faith Dinner held in the LCS gym on April 28, 2018. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and heard testimonies of where God has taken a few LCS alumni. Patrick Gray (2000) shared how LCS helped shape him for life as a missionary in Thailand, and Ron Blue (1956) shared via video how LCS helped form the foundation from which he launched a successful financial advising career. Guests also learned what current LCS students want to be when they grow up. Their future careers ranged from engineers and doctors to Superman and guinea pig rescuers. Guests then participated in a live maker's auction, bidding on a variety of creations from LCS students and local artists and makers. The auction and donations brought in over $75,000 for the school.
