The Akridge Sunday School Class

Announcements:

--Here we GROW again!  God has blessed our class with so many new couples we are busting at the seams so we are going to birth a new Sunday School class on September 16th.  If you are interested in helping launch this new class or if you have any questions please let Brenda or Mike know.

--Sept 16th--The Great Steak off dinner-6pm.  Childcare is provided but please register in Sunday School or by calling the church office.  Come enjoy a fun meal served by other Sunday School classes to celebrate winning the attendance challenge.

--Sept. 15th--Saturday Girls' Morning Out--8:30am at Cracker Barrel.  Come meet up with the gals for a morning out full of conversation and fun!  Let Brenda know if you are coming so she can know how many to expect.

Prayer Requests:

--Andrea A.-Please pray for Greg to have a good school year and to stay positive as he starts over teaching at a new school this year @ Pinson Valley.

--Christy C.-going through a divorce.  Please pray for son Alex.  He is going to a new school this year and it is a lot of change for him.  We are living with my sister-in-law.

--Tony & Kenya A.--just everyday life, pray for our strength in the Lord.

--Scott T.--grandmother has 100%, and 80% blockages and needs a valve replacement, but surgery would complicate her dementia tremendously so they have opted to try and treat with other meds.  It is not a good situation.

--Please pray for the effects that Hurricane Isaac may have.

We had quite a crowd, 59 with 11 of those being visitors. We even ran out of chairs & had to go out of the room to get more!!!!!  And with that kind of attendance we are excited to announce that our team "Matthew", won the Steak-off.  Way to go!  Is anybody hungry for steak?
