Matthew 19:14 NIV Jesus said. “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these I hope that everyone has had a great beginning to the new school year!

Something stood out to me as I was considering all of the enrichment opportunities in North Alabama. Our children are each born with different talents and unique abilities. Their interest may be in singing, dancing, or playing a musical instrument. The possibilities are endless. Jesus loved and encouraged the children and we want to encourage you to help them reach for their dreams. We hope our advertisers can help make dreams come true.

This issue: As you browse through this issue consider the opportunities to expand your horizons. Please let our advertisers know if their product, service or program is enriching your life or helping to make someone’s dream come true.

In our next issue: Happy Fall Ya’ll!

Yay, Fall is in the air. Lots of exciting events are in store for you as this season approaches. We will be sharing some of these in and around our wonderful State, “ Sweet Home Alabama”.
