Now is the perfect time to tackle your next renovation project: restoring God’s design for your life. Join us this September for Fixer Upper, a new series of sermons from Rev. Troy Tatum. We’ll discover how to clear out old ways and make room for new life. We’ll learn how to design a life shaped by the values of Jesus. And we’ll uncover the key to maintaining our focus on God’s kingdom. Join us this Sunday to learn more.

Our first day of school was Tuesday, September 6. We got off to a great start with 31 energetic students. Most parents "loved them and left them" with very few tears involved. Those who shed a few tears were smiling and happy in just a few minutes.
We are so blessed with our staff at TAN. Each teacher comes prepared for the day ahead with a smile on their face and ready to love each child. We try our best each day to let others see Jesus in what we say and do.
We are selling "Enjoy the City" coupon books for $25 each. The school gets to keep half the proceeds from the sale. Please let us know if you would like to purchase one.
We covet your prayers! You are such a loving and generous congregation we are thankful for all your support!
May God bless you!
