Sara and Kelly have put together an awesome social calendar for the upcoming year. Some activities include wine tasting, a trip to the pumpkin patch, a ladies ornament swap, our infamous Christmas party, a men's golf outing and many other fun things.
Our class is starting something called "Third Thursday". This will be a family friendly dinner on the third Thursday of each month. We will meet at 5:30 at a local restaurant. For September, we will meet at Jason's Deli in Hoover. We sure hope to see everyone there.
I will try to post a calendar of events soon (as soon as I figure out how!).
Please remember all of those people on our prayer list. We have so many who need our prayers and could use a miracle in their lives. We all have personally known what the power of prayer can do. Have a blessed week and a safe Labor Day weekend!!
