Preparing

I am in the band at my school. We are going to the National High Stepping Competition this weekend in Atlanta. We have to practice everyday and try our hardest on order to do our best. We as Christians also have to prepare for Christ to come back. There will be a day when we have to answer for our sins. We have to prepare our selves for the day that Christ comes back and determines whether we go to Heaven or Hell. How are you preparing for this?

Being Tired

Yesterday we had a band competition in a city that is almost 2 hours away from our school. We didn't get home until around 11:30-12:00 in the morning. We were so tired but at 7 o clock Sunday morning we were up getting ready for church. If you can stay up or out all night whether you had a choice or not you can make it to church the next day. If you have something planned and you know you won't make it to church the next day because of it then you need to make sure you either schedule your plans for sooner  or get home a little bit earlier.

Pinson Valley

Well yesterday we had our first band competition this year. We came in first place in drum majors,percussion, color guard, etc. we got best in class. This is just the beginning of our year. 

Fighting

Recently we have had a whole lot of fights at my school. Someone constantly fighting someone else. People think its necessary to fight another person if they just look at them in what seems as being the wrong way. No one turns the other check any more and just walk away. Look how many times Jesus turned the other cheek in his life we need to be more like him and not be so willing to respond with violence. 

Ladies Day

Our Ladies Day at church is coming up on September 27. We would love to have you there. There will be an amazing speaker,fellowship,singing,prayers,and much more. Please make an effort to come to Sylvan Springs Church of  Christ on that day.

School

Well we have started school recently and ended our summer. This year we are on block schedule which is new to most of the kids at school. There is 1,050 kids enrolled at my school. It's cool to think what if I was able to teach all them about the Bible and if by the end of this school year we had 1,050 more brothers and sisters in Christ. This year I am taking Spanish 1, forensic science, 3 AP classes, an advanced math class, and band. This is going to be a long school year but a also a good one. I hope everyone enjoys school this year if they are in it!

Vacation Bible School

Next Sunday starts our Vacation Bible School. It will last four nights starting at 7 p.m. each night. This years theme is Bible Superheroes. Vacation Bible School is not just a time for little kids it's a time for fellowship,singing, learning more about God and the Bible, and further growing as Christians. If you get the chance please come out and visit one night . We would love to have you!
