The game starts at 1:35 pm against the Marlins, and it is Family Day. This includes a Kids Run the Bases and free admission to the Sandlot activities. 

We are interested in seeing how many people want to attend a game this year. Listen tomorrow for an announcement in Atlanta and indicate your desire to attend. If you are in Buford and want to attend the game, send Casey McShaw an email regarding your interest and include the number of people in your party. Her email address is caseymcshay@gmail.com.

Those are our announcements this week. Have a wonderful Sabbath evening, Sabbath day, and Feast of Pentecost.

Sincerely,

Philip Aust

Memory Verse

Numbers 30:1-2 Then Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ² If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. (Laws Concerning Vows)
