SUMMER...ACS has been a
busy place this summer. We
have shown many new families
through the school and athletic
facilities, and we praise the
Lord for the enrollment of a
good number of new students.
Our athletes are making
extensive use of the weight
room. The youth football
program (ages 5-12) is
underway as well.
There is an interesting verse
about summer in the Bible,
"...the summer is ended and we
are not saved” (Jeremiah
8:20). I hope that is not true in
your life. Jesus is knocking at
your heart's door and wants to
come in and save you; but you
must invite Him in. Do it NOW!
