Good morning and welcome to the end of November,
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Holiday and are back in the swing of things this morning.
It was a blessing to the GBMS teachers of all the desserts that were donated to them on Wednesday, Nov. 18th. They absolutely loved it and appreciated it greatly. Thank you especially to Sara Gaston for coordinating those outside the church family to participate also. It definitely helps in keeping the door open for us to have a Christian influence in the local public school, and if you didn’t know, that is something that is fading quickly in the US.
Our first two games in Biloxi, MS with the RA Older basketball teams ended in losses but as I like to call it, there were some growing pains that we needed to endure before our regional season started.
A big thanks to Zach Huhn for taking time to take Dustin Graham, one of our students to his GED assessment test on Friday, Nov. 20th. Dustin will begin classes this Tuesday at the Grand Bay Community Center so please pray for him as this is a big step in the right direction in his future.
If you are selling calendars the day to turn in all your calendar money and leftover calendars is on Sunday, December 6th. At that point we will hopefully sell all remaining calendars.
We have a couple things that are coming up and the information is below.
