The Boerne Star reported that two graduating Crestmont Christian Preparatory School seniors, Daniel Sparkman and Sam Schoenfeld, have committed to universities where they will continue on a trajectory toward ministerial service. Sparkman will attend Dallas Baptist University and study Biblical Studies and Christian ministry, where he hopes to continue sharing the Gospel and help the homeless community. Schoenfeld will be making his way to Highlands College in Birmingham, Alabama to pursue a degree in Worship. 

 

The Farmer’s Market at Herff Farm happens every Saturday, but this week they have some special events you might want to partake in.

Also happening on the farm-Storytime in the Herff House at 10:30 and a Nature Makers class in the Teaching Garden starting at 11:30.
