Greetings,

It is hard to believe that we have been holding dance classes for seven weeks. The Lord has truely been at work, and the students are all learning and working hard on their dance technique. We have also been able to memorize Collosions 3:17 "whatever you do in word or deed do it all in the name of the Lord" Some of the parents have shared that their children have been saying this catchy little rhyme at home, as well as some of the parents have also been saying it themselves. We are now working on our second memory verse Psalm 42:1 "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God" We are doing a little dance to a song with this scripture, and are having a precious time in the Lord.

I have a few announcements for you.

Payments are due this next week on Monday, October 27 through Thursday, October 30. The costume rental is also due at this time. Contact me for details.

Christmas building rental is due with this payment for Senior, Junior, Intermediate Company, and Boys Modern. This will help cover the cost of renting Firestone High School for our Christmas Celebration. (You may hold off on your costume rental until January if you need to in order to make your Christmas rental payment.) Contact me for details.

Our annual Praise His Name With Dancing t-shirt, sweatshirt, pants, dance bags, etc. sale will begin Monday, November 3 and end Monday, November 17. We will be selling these clothing items and dance bags with the "Praise His Name" logo on them. I am sure that you have seen them around. We will put all the students names from this year on the back of the t-shirts. These make great Christmas gifts, as well as help as a fund raiser for our ministry.

Our annual Christmas Celebration "Jesus, the Priceless Gift", will be held Saturday, December 13, 2009 at Firestone High School both at 3:30 & & 7:30. It is a story about the true meaning and greatest gift of Christmas. Our Senior, Junior & Intermediate Company members along with the Boys Modern class will be performing in this Celebration. I hope that all of you will be able to attend. The Company members do a beautiful job in this presentation. It is a great opportunity for you to bring both your saved and unsaved friends and family members. It is a free presentation, and refreshments will be served following each Celebration. We will be getting invitations for you to hand out or mail.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to respond.

Blessings,
Diana
