On October 6 and October 13, the middle school and high school conducted community service days to serve our community and be a blessing. It was a privilege to partner with LaDonna Urick and Mission Change as well as Judy Bowles of Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful. Their partnership is valuable in making these days effective and productive for our students.

We are pleased to continue to strengthen the pillar of community service in our students. Special thanks go out to Campus Pastor Jeremy Davidson and our faculty members for organizing and assisting with these days for us.

This morning, we began ReFresh @ SCA. This week is a special time of renewal each fall for our secondary students. Our guest speaker is church planter, Pastor Ryan Rice, from Connect Church in Algiers, LA (New Orleans). Pastor Ryan will be sharing in 1 John. His emphasis is assurance of salvation for the believer – there is nothing greater than knowing you are a child of God. But for the unsaved, do you want to be a part of God’s family? If so, you need to make a decision of commitment. Benefits and rewards are awaiting you when you make the decision to follow Christ wholeheartedly. Please pray for Pastor Ryan and his time with our students this week.

Class retreats are a unique opportunity we have developed at SCA to try and build relational bridges throughout our school. We take a day away from the classroom at the beginning of the school year and allow the students to compete in a variety of team building games, activities and challenges. All of these challenges are designed to force students out of their comfort zones as they creatively compete with other groups of students all across their grade level and beyond. It is our prayer that these retreats would grow Christ-honoring relationships, build unity throughout our school, and generate passion and excitement for being an SCA Eagle this school year!
