We Appreciate You!

Thanks to everybody who came this morning for our Teacher Appreciation Breakfast! The Agape class did a GREAT job with all the wonderful food, and the appreciation was sure welcomed by all. It was neat to see how MANY teachers we have in our class - thanks to all who have stepped up!

Just a couple of reminders:
Don't forget our River Day on Saturday - (It'll come up quick, this is a short week!)
For all the details, you can look HERE.

Next Sunday is FOOD SUNDAY!! Whoohoo! Please bring something to share - we will be watching the rest of "The Blessing" video, sure to be food for thought as well. Do look over your books if you have a chance on your wonderful day off tomorrow!

Since we didn't get a chance to do prayers and praises, click on the word 'comments' below this post and leave a comment with your prayer requests. That way we can still support each other in prayer this week.

Have a blessed week!

Teacher Breakfast - further information

In case anyone else was confused like I was, yes you DID see both the Agape Class Brunch AND the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast listed separately in the church newsletter yesterday.

I verified with Kendra that they are the same thing! The Agape Class will do their usual egg bake/biscuit/gravy thing, and donations are accepted (expected, I think).

The Teacher Appreciation part is the tablecloths and decorations I'm doing.

Just wanted everyone to know so you can bring money (or, in my case, different food I can eat.)
