This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

September is here!  That means fall is right around the corner.   I was just getting use to the hot rainy days and now, hopefully, the temps will change.  Life is like that, you just get use to something and it all changes.  One thing that never changes though is God.  He is always the same and always faithful.

In the preschool ministry we will begin our Operation Christmas Child collection.  Wednesday, September 4th we will kick-off for this years collection.  Each preschooler will decorate a box and bring it home.  If your family wishes to contribute more than one box that is GREAT!  Our Bible story will focus on how much Jesus loves all the children, near and far.

We have had quite a few families visit our church in the past few weeks.  I hope our regular families will make the new ones feel welcomed.  If you don't know someone just introduce yourself to them and make a new friend. 

The recreation ministry will be having their first soccer game on Saturday, September 7th.  My husband, Jim, and I are coaching a great group of preschoolers, the Tornado's.  Jim will be starting the season without me, Saturday, while I participate in a sprint triathlon in Alabama with my oldest son, Jon and my sister, Laura.  Good luck Tornado's!!
We have a great group of men and women who have volunteered to coach 4 year olds and up for the next few months.  Thanks to the referees, coaches and especially Melanie for getting this season going.

Weekday Preschool is continuing to add preschoolers to the program.  Our teachers are busy each week teaching new skills and encouraging each preschooler to be the best they can be.  I really enjoy watching Mrs. Biffle sing and dance with the preschoolers during music time.  They have a great time learning new songs.

Congratulations to our newest family members:  

Dana & Jordan Greenich had a baby girl - Anniston
Steffany & Scott Brown had a baby boy  - Sawyer
Julie & Cedric Marshall had a baby boy  -  Landon
