September Update
A Prayer for Blended Learning  

“I can learn in many different ways, 
I can learn at home,
I can learn at school,
 I can learn in both home and school,  
This year I’ll be learning in many different places , 
Though my body will be in different places, one thing will always stay the same:  
No matter where I am, God is with me, 
No matter where I am, God loves me, 
No matter where I am, I am God’s child.” 
Amen. 

~Traci Smith, Faithful Families~

Adult Sunday School Series: Ordinary, Courageous Christians
Sundays, September 13, 20 & 27 on Zoom at 9:30 AM. 
We will take a look at two educators and one lawyer who were not afraid to say “No!” when they felt the call to be fearless for their faith. Two of them are still living, Dr. Catherine Meeks and Bob Goff, while Corrie ten Boom has passed on but even at her death, she had a story to tell. Join us as we hear them share their stories of unflinching dedication to being a Christian in fearful times. As Bob Goff says “God keeps telling us to be not afraid to Go Big!”
