Janet, Alison and I visited Jessica and Andrew on Labor day weekend and we went to the Sunday night service at the RAMP Sunday. It was a powerful time of worship, praise, and a great word from Damon Thompson on our Christian DNA (Holiness and Faith).

Also, we had a great Saturday afternoon on the plains of Auburn as we had our first tailgate party of the season. There must have been fifty to sixty people from the Church of the Highlands, Trinity United Methodist Church and Converge Auburn. Next week, we will tailgate after the game. Please come - everyone is invited.

As Randy mentioned we had a great week end with new and old friends and family. I am so excited about fall. It is my favorite time of year. Tailgating, leaves changing, cooler air with hot drinks, and holidays.

I am excited about the new small group series that starts next week. I will be teaching a college girls Bible study on Tuesday nights. I have a burning desire to share with these girls why God desires an intimate relationship with each of them. Randy and I will be hosting a Life group at our house on Thursday nights lead by Jeremy and Summer Kempfer. Life is such an amazing study. Tricia Gunn from The Church of the Highlands wrote the Bible Study which ends in a retreat. It is probably the best Bible Study I have ever taken. I guess the best way to describe the study is that is it life giving. I took it with a group of women this past spring and I was changed! I will also be praying for our cities, leaders, churches, and students on Wednesday mornings with a group of women at various locations. Prayer is very dear to my heart. I want more of God and desire to see Him change lives all over this area. I believe we have too much religion and church politics and not enough of God Himself. I desire to see Him move like never before.
I pray that this fall will be the best ever for the Bartletts and you. God is doing great things in Auburn/Opelika. I am His and He is mine, Janet
