ONE GOAL(BEAT HERM I TAGE)I believe it was Vince

Lombardi, Head Coach of theGreen Bay Packers in the late1950s to late 1960s, who said,“Winning isn’t everything, it is theonly thing.” He might have alsosaid,” If you are not a winner, youare a loser.” I didn’t Google it tosee if he indeed said these thingsand if he didn’t, I will take creditfor those words.

It is true that if Hermitage andEastmont attain their goals inSunday School then we are bothwinners. In fact, I hope Hermitagehas 1,000 and we have 1,800 inBible Study (1,800 would be an alltime high for us!)

Remember, if we break ourgoal of 1,206, I and the otherAuburn staff members have towear Alabama garb, and Arnold,Steve and any other Bammers haveto sing the Auburn Fight Song thenext Sunday.

If we want to break our goal,

then YOU have to be present inSunday school and YOU need tobring others with you (inactivemembers and guests). If our twochurches meet or break our goals,we will all be winners. But, Ireally want to beat Hermitage!

See You SundayCoach Art Long

PAR ENT THOT“Children just don’t fit into a ‘to do’ list very well. It takes time to be an effective parent when children aresmall. It takes time to introduce them to good books. It takes time to fly kites and play ball and put together jigsaw puzzles…These are the building blocks of es-teem, held together by the mortar of love..”The New Hide or Seek, page 83
