- Thanks David for a great lesson this morning! I love that we dove into God's word and learned how to stick a piece of paper to a white board without a single piece of adhesive. :) The title of next week's lesson is: Jerusalem: Facing Criticism. The background passage for next week is Acts 20:1-23:22. The lesson passages for next week are Acts 21:17-29, 39.
- Happy Birthday to Laura Pearman, this Thursday, August 14th!

- Attention ladies... I have received some great feedback about starting a women's Bible Study in our class. I am going to speak with Donna Navey about facilitating a 4-6 week study with our class. During the study she will help mentor us in facilitating future studies of our own. I would still love to get some feedback concerning what specifically you would like to study first... A particular book/character in The Bible, topic, theme, etc. Let me know if you have any ideas and I will take those to Donna when I speak with her!
- Upcoming Dates:
- August 16: Baby Shower honoring Leigh Ann Tedrow (Walking Together LJG). Leigh Ann and Darrel are expecting a baby boy! The shower will be held at Renee Blue's house from 10am - Noon. If you plan to attend, please e-mail Angela Osborne at oz4@bellsouth.net to sign up for food. The Tedrows are registered at Target and Babies R Us.
- August 30: CLASS SOCIAL!!! Our class will break up into small groups for dinner and then join together at someone's house for dessert and games. A sign up sheet was passed around today in class. If you would like to sign up and did not have a chance this morning, please e-mail Melissa and she'll add you to the list. If you do not mind to host a group, please specify that in your e-mail. (Hosting a group does not necessarily mean you must have everyone at your house for dinner. Instead, you will be responsible for coming up with a location for dinner and letting the people in your group know the game plan.) Groups and more details will be coming soon!
