AWC Updates

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 5 March 2026

Vision

This week we took a few days as a staff to visit another Wesleyan Church in Yarmouth NS. It was a long drive down and back, but it was so incredibly worth it. We had great conversations on the way down, and more great conversations on the way back! We clarified things with each other, talked about the future of our churches, and we were really able to create stronger unity and alignment in our team.
Plus, we had phenomenal interactions with the Yarmouth Wesleyan staff! There was such a sense of partnership, alignment and support in our time together. They have four sites/campuses and a bunch of staff, and they were so welcoming to us, and we were able to learn so many things! We left with a great sense of encouragement and affirmation that we need to continue in the same direction we have been, just lean in more!
The next stage of our churches is going to be exciting!

Wins

Amherst Wesleyan:

1. We already have 4 teens signed up to get baptized on Easter Sunday!

2. Between the staff's trip to another church to hear from their staff, to conflict and conversations in our own church, we are growing more and more confident in the need to navigate the challenges of ministry and relationships through humility, vulnerability and grace. It is so important we don't fight our battles the same way the enemy does.

Connection Church:

1. We had someone else sign up to be part of the leadership team of Connection! There is a growing desire to lean into what God is doing in our church!

2. As Pastor Emma gets to connect with more and more people it is becoming more obvious just how incredible this church is and how at home she is in this church and with you.

Your Way

Your Way

Ruth - Sunday, March 1, 2026

The book of Judges and the book of Ruth tell stories that happen at the same time of history, and yet they are wildly different. They actually seem to contrast each other and show what happens when we do things our way or God's way.

Judges 21:25 & Ruth 1:16

Your way is not the right way.
