This Sunday is VIP Sunday, meaning it is a perfect time for visitors to check us out! It is also a perfect time for you to invite your friends and family to check out a service. Everyone attending will get a name tag when they come in, that way everyone is on an even playing field, no one will stand out as new and everyone will be able to easily tell what someone's name is. This also helps you have conversations with people you have been avoiding because you forgot their name!

There will be a Photobooth downstairs after the service, if anyone would like to get some fun pictures, along with free cookies for everyone!

This isn't just about a big day to boost attendance, this is really about creating opportunities that help us reach out and draw people into the Kingdom of God so they can be saved and transformed. This is important work. Lives are at stake here.

1. Our Building and First Impressions Teams have been hard at work assembling our new coffee counter in the lobby! We used a lot of components we had pulled from the apartment when we renovated it for Pastor Brad, and we had a bunch of highly skilled volunteers put in their time to do the new construction. It looks great!

2. We gave our youth ministry a goal to encourage the teens to invite their friends to their gatherings, and this past Sunday they met that goal! That's the teens themselves doing the inviting, not Pastor Brad!

3. We are seeing more people are coming out to events and services, instead of giving in to fear!

The Jewish Feast of Trumpets is also known as the Day of Judgment. It starts off with examining your life and then spending the next 10 days trying to do enough good stuff to outweigh the bad. The Jews miss how Jesus fits into this though, and they miss that you can't do enough good to outweigh the bad. Jesus is the only solution, and when the trumpets blast at the end, judgement will come.

Numbers 29:1 & 1 Thessalonians 4:16

Judgement is coming and now is the time to prepare for it.

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.

Bring your recyclable cans and bottles to the church starting May 15 to help support our youth ministy. Proceeds will go to help cover costs for our trip to ONE Conference in Moncton. Bottles will be sorted and counted by teens Saturday May 20th. Please make sure to have your bottles dropped off before 10am on the 20th. 

We will be praying over 4 areas in our community and want as many people to join us as possible. Meet at the church at 7pm

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!
