Senior Savannah gave her moving testimony this week allowing us into her life to this point. The many issues she faced forced her to either give up or to turn to Christ. She tried the first, but ended up doing the second and has become a much happier person because of it. She used Ephesians 2: 1-5 "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Sydney and Tyler finished up with a song. There are great things going on in my classroom on Tuesday mornings at 7 AM.
Southern Indiana FCA donated IU men's game tickets and many students were able to take advantage of the opportunity as well as some staff who never have attended a game. There is an FCA game day for IU women's basketball on Sunday, December 16 in Assembly Hall. Admission is only $2 and there will be a guest speaker afterwards. The game is at 2 PM.
We will be having a Christmas party, tentatively, on Monday, December 17th at 6:30 PM with food, fellowship, a guest speaker, and Christ. An appreciation meal is schedule for Saturday, December 22 for the varsity boys' basketball team. We are working on a guest speaker for that.
Thank you to Borden Church of Christ (my home church) for providing the mornings doughnuts and juice, and feel free to pray for our FCA and to help in anyway possible.
