AWC Updates 24 Nov 2023

Vision

Our Christmas Wrap-Up is just around the corner! This is one of the biggest projects of our year, and a massive opportunity to bless our community in the name of Jesus. We fill boxes of groceries for families in need, adopt a few families to provide presents, do free gift-wrapping, and many other things on that day. It's a kind of "outreach blitz."

You can be part of this incredible project by signing up on Sunday to be part of one of them that day, by signing up to fill a box of groceries, by providing financial donations, by praying for the work and those who will be touched by it, and by participating in our online bake auction! Yep, we have an online bake auction. You can go to the link below and see the items on facebook then place your bids in the comments. All the details are on that page, and all the proceeds go towards our Wrap-Up projects that bless and support our community.

I hope you will be part of it this year!

Online Bake Auction

Wins

1. So, the church furnace hasn't been working for about a week, and Wednesday a lot of us prayed about it. Thursday it just kind of started working, and then we were able to find something simple that helped, and then the part we were told we needed finally arrived! Yay, heat and answered prayer!

2. We held our monthly leadership team meeting on Sunday and discussed future changes to our ministries and worked on our team dynamics, both were exciting and encouraging as we worked through really healthy debate and conflict to discover stronger unity!

3. Our Youth group had a huge turnout last Friday, one of our biggest attendance nights! I am so excited about how the teens are engaging the discipleship, are inviting friends, and how our volunteers are serving in that ministry with such excellence!

Do We Justify Our Sin?

Do We Justify Our Sin?

Deep Clean - Sunday, November 19, 2023

When we get caught doing something wrong, we often try to soften the consequence by explaining how the action is excusable or justified. We can get so much into that mode that we try to justify all our sin, or try to justify other people's sins because we love them so much. We fear the consequences, but justifying it doesn't make it go away. We don't need to justify our actions, we need Jesus to forgive and save us.

Justifying our sin doesn't get rid of it.

Ezekiel 13:22; 14:6, 19-20; 16:18-19, 32
