Here are a few thoughts and reminders for you this week.

First, if you are a voting members of AWC, please pick up your Membership Reaffirmation Form on Sunday and return it to us by the beginning of May.

Second, could you take some time, even right now to pray about two things: the Youth Rally happening Friday and Saturday, and for God to provide the finances so we can replace the church roof this Summer.

We want to pray that there are a lot of teens who attend, and that they will be open to God speaking to them.

The church roof needs to be replaced and we are in the process getting all the details in place to make that happen. 

Again, please take time even right now to pray for these things.

1. The youth are taking initiative to hang out with each other outside of Sunday Youth Events! The culture of Christian community is being established by the teens themselves!

2. We had a meeting with our department leaders, but some of them couldn't attend the meeting, so they sent representatives in their place.  It was exciting to see new faces at the meeting and to see how our department leaders are developing their teams to establish new leaders!

3. I heard from someone in our church who was given the opportunity to lead devotions at their place of work! They actually asked this person to do it! What an incredible opportunity to bring the Gospel wherever we go!

When you go to a theme park there are restrictions on who can ride which rides, like height and weight and age. You even need a certain kind of admission to ride certain rides. If you don't have those things, you can't go on those rides. If you do have those things, the only thing holding you back is your own choice. When we look at Christ's work on the cross and the Jewish festival of The Day of Atonement, we see that Christ removed every barrier that was holding us back from God, now the only thing remaining is for us to make a choice.

Luke 23:44-46, Hebrews 10:10-18, Acts 16

There's nothing keeping you away from God anymore.

Are you a teen in Grades 6-12? Then this event is for you. Our goal is to see teens grow and transformed in their faith. Join us for a night of worship and inspiring preaching from Guest Speaker Barney Greene. We will also have carnival games, food, and a dodgeball tournament.

Come help us tidy, repair and update our facilities! Lots to do, and something for everyone to help with!

Some of our to do list is to dust, clean light shades, clean windows, clean up grass, paint wood front hand railing, move some chairs around, fix up some of the brick work outside.

If you've ever considered checking out AWC, this is the Sunday to do it! This is also a perfect day to invite friends and family to check us out. We will have cookies after service, name tags for everyone, so you don't have to worry about forgetting someone's name or standing out as new. We will also have some special stories to share about how God has chosen us!

AWC's Annual Business Meeting where we review the past year, vote on certain leadership positions, and review the budget for the new business year.

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!
