Just a few announcements/prayers:

23rd: Morgan will be induced. Please pray for her, baby and Casey!!!!

Today David Parker had heart surgery around 2pm. I have not heard from them nor has anyone else. I am praying no news is good news! Please keep David, Brock, Amy and Alyssa in your prayers.

Sara Armstrong delivered her baby boy at 26 weeks. She was out of state visiting family. Her husband is the college minister for Auburn United Methodist Church. They also have 2 other children.

Also a couple in our church found out today that their child, which was due in 3 weeks, died in the womb. They are scheduled for a c-section tomorrow, the 23rd. Please keep them in your prayers. To my knowledge there were no problems with the pregnancy. I really have no idea what happen other than it was the Lord's timing.

Congrats to Jason for getting a job!!!!!

Dude! you guys are a good looking bunch. I saw that picture and it brang a smile to my face! Merry Christmas to everyone. Tam and I can't tell you guys how much we have enjoy being a part of this class. I can see God working in each of your marriages. It's exciting to see couples grow close to the Lord in the early stages of marriage because that sets the foundation for years to come. When we were first asked to help teach this class with the Pinckard's, we had no idea what to expect, but God placed each of you in the class and you have all added a unique attribute and character to the group. Enjoy Christmas! Embrace the joy of marriage and remember to give with all that you have...to each other and to those around you! We serve a great God!

Merry Christmas Adult 38!!!

-The Bakers

Testing Testing 1-2-3. The teel's are in the know with the internet and flying high with technology. this is incredibly new to us...so bear with us. but i'm pretty sure it's just an informational/slash (that was a joke...) journal type of thing. so....informationally, we are looking forward to the softball game in which we will prevail with a cool and calm attitude. journalistically, i sliced my foot on a piece of glass while cleaning the kitchen. that's right...cleaning the kitchen, 500 points for taylor! and -500 point for bragging about it. see you guys Sunday!

Welcome!

Welcome to Adult 38 Sunday School class blog! It is very basic, but will be able to keep everyone updated. We hope everyone is have a great Monday. Just a few things to add...
