AWC Updates

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 1 June 2023

Vision

Two Updates for you:

1. The roofers are coming on June 12th to do the roof of the church! We need to get some work done to prepare the site for them before they come. If you have interest in helping with that, please talk to Dwayne York or Kyle Legere.

2. The Wesleyan Church encourages churches to give pastors a sabbatical every 7 years. That time is on top of their vacation for the purpose of rest, restoration and preparation for the next season of their ministry. I have been here for 8 years!

Thus, I (Pastor Evan) will be taking July and August off, as a mix of vacation and sabbatical, meaning I will not be at services, in the office, or doing any “church work” from June 29th until Sept 5th. 

While I am away, you can contact Pastor Sheryl or Pastor Brad, as they will be running things for July and Aug! And in order for me to use the time as best I can, I will be disengaging from facebook and emails and as much as I can!

Wins

1. At one of our ministries we had a visitor who was very hesitant about coming into the church, but when they saw one of our members, he knew this was a good place to be. Your example of Christ in your own personal lives is opening the doors for others to find Jesus!

2. We held our Step-Up Day where: 7 kids moved up from Bible Adventure to Konnect Kids, 5 students from Konnect moved up to EDGE Youth, and 11 fifth graders total came to EDGE youth for the first time!

3. We got word that the church roof is to be replaced before the summer!

Feast of Pentecost

Feast of Pentecost

Finding Jesus in the Jewish Feasts - Sunday, May 28, 2023

When God gave the law to the Jewish people it was 50 days after Passover, thus the feast got the name Pentecost (50). Fifty days after Jesus was crucified, on Passover, there God gave us the Holy Spirit! He would write His law on our hearts instead of stone tablets. We don't need to just put more effort into following the law, we need the Holy Spirit so the law can be in our hearts!

Exodus 20:21, Ezekiel 36:26, Acts 2:3-4, 38-39

You don't need to TRY harder; you need the presence of God
