Lost & Found

Lost items will be placed on a table out front this week. The items left will be boxed up for donation. Please take a look and see if any of the lost items belong to you!

Moms In Prayer

This week we’re praying for our 5th graders and their teachers.

Attribute: God is Gracious — One who is full of grace, kindness, mercy, and compassion

Scripture: "LORD, may You bless us and keep us; may Your face shine on us and be gracious to us; may You turn Your face toward us and give us peace." - Numbers 6:24-26

We’re a group of Moms (aunts/grandmas) passionate about lifting up our kids and ACS faculty and staff in prayer. We meet every Thursday morning 8:00-9:00am. Younger siblings are always welcome! This week we’re meeting at my house (Kelly Stafford, 2595 Lansdowne, NE, Ada, near the corner of Knapp & Pettis — two-story red brick, 2nd house on the left).  Come join us for the journey when you can. 

MENistry

Come join other ACS dads at 8:00am on Friday mornings at Nona's Trattoria on the back deck. We are reading The Man in the Mirror.

Now You Know

Gather Give Grow

The annual fall fundraiser is the Education Foundation's signature fundraising event which provides essential support to Ada Christian School. In lieu of our traditional dinner, we invite you to gather online during the week of Nov 09-13 for a special week of giving and growing. We will feature special messages from Matt Scogin, President of Hope College and WOOD TV8's Maranda, as well as some other familiar faces! Help us raise money for the Ada Christian Education Foundation endowment fund. Gather, Give & Grow with us.

ACS Book Fair

Our first ever online book fairs are off to a good start. The library has set up a display of some of the books that are available at the fairs. Your child may have come home with a list of books that interest him/her. You are under no obligation to purchase anything, but if you do 25%-40% of the proceeds help the ACS library. This is a great opportunity to buy gifts for the readers in your life. Go ahead and take a look! Here are the links.

Follett eFair (80% paperback, delivered to school)

JLG eFair (all hardcover, delivered to your home, free shipping over $30)
