Prayer & Fasting 
September 11, 2001, marked a distinctive change of direction in our country’s history. Now, twenty-five years later, many people are unsure about a God in heaven, let alone His faithfulness and salvation. God’s call today for His people remains unchanged: return to Me, seek My face, and turn from your own ways.

Please join us this Wednesday, September 9 for a day of prayer and fasting for our nation and the world we live in, that God’s people, including us, would turn back to Him.
Singspiration this Saturday
Everyone is invited to join us for Singspiration this Saturday, Sept. 12 at 6:30 PM in the Chapel. This event is open to the public, so please spread the word to your friends in the community. If you have a special number that you are willing to share, please reach out to Col. Behr by this Wednesday, Sept. 9.
Life Chain
Our campus has been invited to join the community to stand in remembrance of the over 73 million lives lost to abortion. Meet at Grace Communion Church, 205 E. Broadway, on Sunday, October 4 at 4:30 PM; vigil is from 5:00–6:00 PM. Details here.    
Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
The Battalion had a busy first week of the quarter! Aviation and Dive returned from deployment Friday evening, just in time to run the Caleb Nelson Memorial Race on Saturday morning. Thanks again to everyone who helped with logistics or came out to support the guys running! This week, both Aviation and Dive are starting their coursework, and Missions is still training with Instructor Ryder. Fire Academy gets in on Thursday alongside Unit 75 recruits and will kick off their training Friday.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
Four days left until the recruits arrive! The Cadre are training hard and actively preparing for the arrival of the men in Unit 75. This Thursday, the men of the new Unit will begin their journey to becoming ALERT Responders. They will spend three full days in In-Processing to prepare for Basic Training and will then integrate into Basic Training on R-Night, Monday, September 14th, at 6:30 PM in the gym. Please pray for us as we continue to prepare for this adventure.
