AWC Updates

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 8 Dec 2023

Vision

The Christmas Wrap-Up is happening this Saturday at 10am. There are a number of projects to choose from, so I hope you will join us at the church at 10am and join one of them! We want everyone to be part of this great day of blessing our community. Many of you have already signed up to purchase groceries, presents or have given donations towards this work!!

Christmas Eve is also coming up quickly! We aren't doing a normal morning service that day, instead there will be a casual gathering (by "casual" I mean it is not run by the staff, but rather organized by volunteers and the set-up and tear-down should be handled by those who attend) with breakfast provided that morning, and then we will have two Christmas Eve Candlelight Services that evening. You can attend the Candlelight Service at 5pm or 6:30pm. These are a great opportunity to invite friends and family to hear about Jesus and feel His presence!

Wins

1. Pastor Brad has challenged the teens saying that if they get their attendance up to 30, they can shave his head (he just wants to be more like his boss). They had 29 out last friday!

2. We had one of the teens lead the closing prayer on Sunday, which was such an incredible statement of how these teens are growing in their faith and finding a place in the Body of Christ!

3. The Online Bake Auction, run by Sharon Taylor, raised over $500 for the Christmas Wrap-Up!

4. We are hearing more stories about how you have been inviting people to AWC, and they are actually coming! 

Is it Possible?

Is it Possible?

SomeOne Good is Coming... - Sunday, December 3, 2023

All that is necessary for hope to exist is the belief that something is possible. It doesn't need to be a fact. It doesn't need to be a certainty. It doesn't need to be likely. It could actually be very very UNlikely! But if it is possible, no matter how slim a chance, there can be hope. Only when something is absolutely impossible is hope dead. 

Is it possible that Jesus came to the Earth as a baby and is the Son of God? Is it possible that He died and rose back to life? Is it possible that God loves you and wants to save you? Is is possible that He will save you? All you need is the belief that these things are possible, and you can have HOPE!

Matthew 19:26

Your rescue is possible!
