It's official. School has begun. Teachers and students are getting back into the daily routine after having a few months of rest and relaxation. If you are in school (whether teacher, student, etc, I hope that your year has started off on a positive note. Education is so important. It is something that can't be taken away from you. I encourage you to make this year the best year it possibly can be. Working toward good grades and striving to be a positive influence on those around you. What better way for others to see the light inside that to let others see Jesus in you!

We have several items on the agenda in church business. First off, the nursery is now open every Sunday night from 5-7pm. It is being kept by volunteers. Anyone willing to help is encouraged to do so. All help is greatly appreciated! Take advantage of this opportunity and join a Discipleship training class and continue to grow in Christ.

If you wish to NOT be a deacon in the coming church year. A written letter stating this is being requested by next Sunday, August 27th. Please notify the Chairman of Deacons before the deadline. If you don't submit a letter, then it will be assumed you wish to serve as a deacon if elected.

The gym will be open Saturday, August 26th from 7-10pm for the youth. Come and join in this time of fun and fellowship. Bring a friend!

I pray that the rest of your week will be blessed.

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
