There will not be a box top redemption day in January, so save your box tops and turn 
them in on Monday February 6th.

Need help with child care, yard work, house work, or other odd jobs?  There is an HCA Senior class student who is willing to help you!

This great group of students has chosen to take a mission trip to the Dominican Republic for their Senior class trip in May.  We’d like to encourage this Godly desire of theirs to reach out in love & service to needy people rather than planning only a fun trip for themselves.  If you have odd jobs you can hire them to do for you during the next several months, they would greatly appreciate it!

Please click here to download the full list of available help.  Once you’ve chosen the job and student you’d like to have help you, email HCASeniorClassServants@gmail.com and you’ll be contacted within 2-3 days to set up your project.

Dear HCA Parents,

Want an easy way to have a fun evening watching your student perform, finish your Christmas shopping, let more people know about how wonderful Heritage is AND earn money for HCA all at the same time?

The Barnes & Noble fundraiser is a great way to do just exactly that!

Here’s how:

1. Purchase a gift card for Barnes and Noble through the HCA Eagle Earnings (scrip program) and then….
2. Use that card to purchase any item or book (excluding gift cards or memberships) at any Barnes and Noble store or on-line between December 5^th and December 12^th using the HCA voucher code.  HCA will receive 12% back on every purchase!  Click here to download the vouchers with the code.
3. Tell all your friends and family to do the same when they come to the Barnes and Noble at Centerra to watch your students perform or to go on-line and use the voucher!
4. Get your present wrapped right in the store for a small donation and you won’t have to worry about doing it later.
5. Enjoy a latte from Starbucks while you shop or listen to the wonderful entertainment brought to you by our own HCA students.
6. Order a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory for your Christmas meal and pick it up fresh and ready the week of Christmas – no cooking, no storing and so yummy!  Click here to download the Cheesecake Factory order form.
7. Buy your Legos, music, games, craft kits or books from their terrific gift selection.

By purchasing a B&N gift card through the Eagle Earnings (scrip program), Heritage essentially gets DOUBLE the earnings – once for the gift card purchase, and then again when you shop at B&N during our weeklong fundraiser.  It’s a win-win-win for everyone!

The Barnes & Noble Fundraiser is an awesome way for you to help raise money for HCA.  All gift card purchases directly benefit Heritage via the scrip program.  All purchases made at Barnes & Noble during the fundraiser benefit the Senior Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic.

Thank you so much for your support!

HCA & the 2012 Senior Class

Dear Heritage Families and Friends,

I wanted to pass on a “Thank You” from Beth for all of your love and support for their family.  Thank you for your willingness to serve in so many areas and for your continued prayers.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  Donations to the family must be made out to: 
“Jordan Children’s College Fund“
Any checks written to any other recipient will need to be voided and re-written. 

The Jordans would like to invite all of you to a time of Prayer and Worship at Immanuel Community Church, located at 1725 West Mulberry in Fort Collins, at 6:00 pm Wednesday evening.

A beautiful memorial page has been set up for Warren online at:

As a reminder, we will be having a Half Day on Thursday.  Also, the 7 pm production of “Peter Pan” that was scheduled for Thursday night has been canceled.  We are still in need of volunteers to help with food, serving and clean-up for the memorial (contact Lori Merkley @ 217-5213 or lmerkley@heritagechristian.info) and yard work and cleaning (contact Mike Cuckler @ 494-1022 ormcuckler@heritagechristian.info).

“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.  Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.  And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.” (2 Corinthians 9:12-14)

May God bless you in ways you cannot imagine,
Mike Cuckler

Dear Heritage Family and Friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers and willingness to serve the Jordans during this difficult time.  Please continue to pray as the next few days will bring unthinkable challenges and difficult decisions that must be made.

The memorial will be Thursday at 2:00 pm at LifePointe Church, formerly First Baptist Church, located at 900 East Prospect Road in Fort Collins.  There will be a reception that will follow the service.  We are in need of volunteers to make, serve, and clean up food for the reception. If you can help with this in any way, please contact Lori Merkley at 217-5213 or you may email her at lmerkley@heritagechristian.info.  In lieu of flowers, please make financial donations directly to the Jordan family to help with their numerous expenses.  Checks made out to “Beth Jordan” may be brought to the memorial service or to the school at any time.

SCHOOL WILL BE DISMISSED FOR ALL ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AT 11:45 AND ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT 12:00 ON THURSDAY SO THAT FAMILIES, FACULTY AND STAFF MAY ATTEND THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.  PLEASE MAKE NECESSARY PREPARATIONS FOR A HALF DAY ON THURSDAY.

Also, there are some projects that need to be done on behalf of the Jordans.  If you would be willing to help with yard work or cleaning, please contact me at the school 494-1022 or email me at mcuckler@heritagechristian.info.

The production of Peter Pan which was scheduled for this Thursday evening is canceled.  If you have purchased tickets for the Thursday performance, they may be exchanged for one of the three remaining performances: Friday, 7:00pm; Saturday, 2:00pm; and Saturday, 7:00pm. Please come by the office this week to exchange your tickets.

Thank you to all of you who offered to bring them a meal.  There are still days available if you would like to sign up:

Dear Heritage Families and Friends,

Yesterday our Heritage family experienced a great loss.  Warren Jordan,
the father of two Heritage alumni and two current high school students,
has been called home to be with Jesus.  Warren was a man of God who
never hesitated to give his time, his life and his love as God called
him to.  He served as a board member for Heritage Christian School for a
number of years, providing the leadership, strength, and vision
essential to the school’s growth and success.  He has been here through
all the ups and downs that the Lord has brought Heritage Christian
Academy through, and we are going to miss him dearly.  I was honored to
call Warren my friend, and I will miss his profound wisdom and gentle
spirit.

It is moments like this when the body of Christ must become the heart,
hands and feet of our compassionate Savior.  The most important thing
you can do for the Jordans is to pray.  Pray for Beth and their
children.  Pray that the Lord could be their refuge and strength.  Pray
Psalm 29:11; 62:5-8; Matthew 11:28-30; and Ephesians 3:14-21.  Pray as a
family, and pray in the quiet moments of your heart.  Pray that God
would provide the grace they need to get through each moment of each day.

There are other ways in which you can help.  We have set up a meal
schedule for them.  If you would like to bring the Jordans a meal,
please go to:

Scroll down to see available dates.  Click “Take” to sign up for a day
and put in your information.  You will receive an email reminder the day
before you are scheduled.  If you have questions please contact Lori
Merkley at 217-5213 or lmerkley@heritagechristian.info.

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is
overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”  Psalm 61:2 KJV

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in
him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Thank you all for your prayers and support.

In His Grip,
Mike Cuckler
