Young at Heart is a group of older adults who enjoy getting together for fellowship and experience. This group often explores fun and interesting sites in and around Birmingham and beyond. We are looking at a calendar for Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 and we’d love to have your ideas. Please join us for a time of planning Wednesday, July 29 at 10:00 am.
 
 MUSIC NOTES  
The last Sunday of the month we will be graced by the music of George and Judy Dudley.  We've had some beautiful very special music this summer. We are so thankful that we have such talented members in our church. Thank all of you that have given of your gifts this summer. 
In Christ,
Jan   
 
Our Summer Fun Camp is over and what fun we had! I would like to thank First Christian for allowing TAN to use the church facility for our summer fun!  Through your caring and sharing we were able to provide a safe and secure environment for our children to come play and have fun...and maybe give mom a break too!!

We will have orientation on Tuesday, September 1, and our first day of school will be Tuesday, September 8.  I hope you all continue to have a great summer and we look forward to being back for the Fall semester!

Blessings,
Debbie Braswell
