Good morning everyone, It only took a week to drop the temperature 25 degrees. You have got to love Southern Alabama weather. Speaking of Southern Alabama, we are looking at some dates to go to Southern Alabama Paintball off of Bellingrath Rd very soon (probably December). This Wednesday, 11/11 we will be taking a group of students to go see the movie Woodlawn. We will also be getting lunch at Chick-Fil-A. More information below SECRET SURPRISE – We are going to need about 6-8 desserts that would feed about 60 teachers for Wednesday, November 18th for the Grand Bay Middle School staff. This is a surprise treat for them and the work they do with our Middle School students. If you would provide a dessert of some sort please let me know. The more the merrier. If anyone is interested in donating some basketballs for the RA teams the wish list is below, also there is more information below on what we have coming up.

Good morning hot weather, Welcome to November in the South. Thought about pulling out the tank top and shorts today. Before getting into too much detail I want to thank all the leaders, students, and adults that helped with the Hallelujah Festival. I think it was a hit. Afterwards we went to the Coastal Response Center in Coden for a scare. It was ok, but I think the students enjoyed playing tag in the bounce inflatable more than anything. This week we begin a set of revival services focused toward our Hispanic ministry. Lazaro Suruy will be the speaker and you are invited to join in the auditorium starting at 6:30p Monday – Wednesday. With Wednesday being a part of the services we will join them at 6:30p. The same times will stay in effect for hangout in the CAB before and after, but all students 6-12th will go into the Auditorium for the service. Cooking for the Bryant Football Team and Band went very well. !!!Last week I got some packages in the mail from Amazon that I was not expecting. Low and behold it was a fulfillment from our RA Basketball Wish List. I will keep the donor a secret but it was one of my favorite moments of last week. You can find the link to the wish list below along with more info on other events.!!!

Good morning, It was a joy to my heart to see us worship together with New Beginnings last night. No matter what the color or background people have, our hearts all the same; broken and in need of a Savior. I am thankful for Jesus and his sacrifice for everyone regardless of those characteristics. This morning I had the great opportunity to speak to some of the Breitling Bears on Trustworthiness. Also, this morning, I am thankful I keep a change of clothes in my closet at work for wet days like this. 2016 Calendar Fundraiser starts this Sunday. It’s Hallelujah Festival week and we need a bunch of students to help with the event. More details below on that and other upcoming events.

Starting on Sunday, November 1st we will begin our annual Calendar Fundraiser. As always I try relay that this fundraiser, if WORKED, can be the best fundraiser of the year. Starting Sale: Students can start to get packets with 10 calendars on Sunday, November 1st during Sunday School and after the morning services (Limited Calendars). Once those 10 are sold then they can come back and pickup 10 more when they turn in their money for the 10. Ending Sale: Students will have to have all non-sold calendars turned in by Sunday, December 6th. If there are any leftover calendars after that date they will be sold to go into the Youth General Account. I am ordering 300 calendars to have on hand for this fundraiser. I pray we have to order...
