What would we accomplish if 589 people donated to the Accord Kids for a scholarship? For years, I've carried a twofold burden. First, I want to reduce the financial burden on parents who understand the need for a Biblically based education. It would be wonderful to have real help. Second, Christian education teachers earn about one-third of what they could make in the public sector. If we had 589 people and reached our goal of a one-million-dollar scholarship, we could increase salaries. Still, if you do some simple math, you will conclude that it only raises the salaries to about two-thirds of what they could be making. Fifteen teachers making $50,000 is $750,000. Our staff is larger than that, and that number includes only salaries, not the other costs we need to cover.

I've carried this burden for years. Long ago, we started a small endowment fund and have benefited from it. It provides less than $2,000 a year, but we are grateful. This, however, would allow us to make significant changes. I am one of the people who does not directly benefit from this. I do not take a salary from the Academy. My burden is knowing that we (parents and the ministry as a whole) should figure out a way to pay our teaching staff better. This is a simple way to help! We are moving money you would otherwise give to the federal government to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) and designating it for Keystone Christian Academy. The Accord Kids' staff will be here to explain the details.

So, sign up! You can make a big difference in the lives of a sacrificial group.

The goal is 589 people! For what, you ask? That is the number of people we need to donate to the Accord scholarship for KCA to reach $1 million. It all starts with you attending the banquet on Nov. 2. At the banquet, you will enjoy a great meal and learn more. Guests will include representatives from Accord Kids, ODACS, and our own staff. You will hear more about the program and can ask questions. Remember, this is not just for the church or academy family. This is for friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Anyone who pays federal taxes can take advantage of this program. It will be a blessing to our families. So, sign up now! The deadline is Sunday. That means you need to register for the banquet.

The new Growth Classes started last week. I hope you will be a part of them. The list is in the foyer and in each hallway. Please try to be here at 9:30 AM.
During the morning worship service, our Patch Club will sing for us. They will sing "Bought with a Price." We heard them on Wednesday, and they will sing again on Sunday.
We have G.R.O.W. at 5:30 PM this week for our ministry night. We divided into teams, so make sure you communicate with your team leader. We will meet in the conference room then make our visits, calls, and write letters after that.

In the morning service, we are studying II Peter 1:12-15. Peter spends some time explaining why he regularly "reminds" people of important truths.

Finally, don't forget to sign up for the Accord Kid's Banquet. The QR code had a glitch earlier, but it is working now. The banquet is for you and all of your friends. It is our opportunity to make our tax dollars work for good. Recruit yourself first, then spread the word. Below is the sign-up link.

Saul rejected God's direction and suffered. Now, I Sam. 16 tells us he was troubled by an "evil spirit from the Lord." This elicits numerous questions. What was this "spirit"? Was it a demon or his own internal turmoil? A pertinent question is whether he was responsible for his actions - have you heard that question in the news? Tonight, our Bible study picks up the story of Saul in the middle of I Sam. 16. Really, it is now the story of David. Everything that happens in the remainder of I Samuel shows how our sovereign God orchestrated events and placed David in the palace. God has a sense of humor. The irony in this story is captivating.
