School started this week (last week for some) for many of the school in and around Birmingham Alabama, so I thought I would do a series for the next week.

Back To School!

For a lot of students this is an exciting, for some not so exciting, and a lot of parents are feeling both ways too! So, today, let’s join Vestavia Hills Elementary School – Central, one of the Vestavia Hills City Schools, in welcoming some of you (if you call Vestavia Hills home ) back to school.

Have a great year!

Birmingham AL – One Prayer – Church of the Highlands

Saturday, July 26, 2008, Church of the Highlands (which is where we go to church) is participating in a massive undertaking (One Prayer) with hundreds of other groups (from our church) and more than 1,600 other churches around the world to make an impact in our world. Saturday, July 26, 2008, will be the day that you may see thousands of blue shirts (thats the uniform) serving in different ways around Birmingham Alabama. Another part of the focus was to help plant more than 500 churches around the world. A video list of the churches has also been made. Remember us in your thoughts this weekend as we seek to model the example set before us and bring honor to our Lord.
