Two things:

1. I had a board meeting last Sunday and a couple board members shared that someone from our congregation had reached out to them with a concern. I have to say, I am so glad that this person (or persons) felt they could reach out to our board members with their questions and concerns. I also have to say, I am so glad our board members felt they could bring the concerns to the board meeting! We aren't a church that leans into gossip, we are a church that leans into honest conversation!

2. Many of you may know this, but in case you haven't heard, we are ending our formal partnership with the Westchester Wesleyan Church at the end of June. That means we will no longer be responsible for their services after June. Doesn't affect AWC much, but I wanted to keep you all in the loop.

1. A Non-Christian student from EDGE received a Bible a few weeks ago but was resistant towards receiving one; this past Sunday they remembered to bring it with them and even volunteered to read some of the verses during small group time!

2. Both teens and adults are taking the initiative to reach out to find ways to serve at AWC!

3. Two kids got dedicated on Sunday! 

4. We are finding over and over again how God has ordained the timing of our sermons. These sermons get scheduled, and many drafted months before they get preached, and time after time they seem to be scheduled for exactly the right Sunday. 

We all have families and every one of them has left us with some sort of baggage. Some of that baggage is pretty heavy, and at times pretty harmful. Things like neglect, depression, abandonment, condemnation, or unresolved conflict are some of the heaviest things, but there are some basic patterns that get passed down too that can weigh on us too. Regardless of what we have experienced in our families, God has made a way to get past it, and live so it doesn't weight us down.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Family baggage can't hurt us if we stop carrying it.

It's a Coffee House and a Board Game Night, kinda like a Board Game Cafe! 7-9pm

Enjoy some live music, play some games, or spend the evening with great people just talking!

All proceeds will go to help get our Teens to the upcoming One Conference!

Join us after service on April 2nd as we pray for our Good Friday and Easter services.

You are also encouraged to fast over the lunch hour that day.

We want to cover these services with prayer and commit them to Christ. The enemy doesn't want God's kingdom to be advanced, and the enemy is on the prowl. So, let's go to battle.

As we remember the sacrifice of Christ we will also celebrate His victory through Baptism!

If you'd like to get Baptised or have questions about Baptism, please reach out to one of our pastors!

Join us EASTER SUNDAY for a Resurrection EGG HUNT.  There will ge games, candy, and lots of EGGS but most important we will celebrate that Jesus is ALIVE! (Kids ages 2-12)

Women's Retreat at Beulah Camp!

Do you need to get out of the house so you can talk to other adults? Do your kids need to get out of the house so they can play with other kids and have some space to run around?

Come check out our casual play group on Thursdays. There is no agenda and parents are responsible for their own children. Our basement space is a large open space and perfect for letting kids run and play together!

You can also see our full calendar here!
