Well, the province of Nova Scotia has updated their Phased Re-Opening Plan.  Because of that we now have a few details we can build our re-opening plan around. Here are a few simple details:

Phase 2 will hopefully be from June 16 to June 29th.

- People can meet indoors as a group of 10 people without physical distancing and 25 people outdoors without physical distancing! 

- Churches can only have up to 10 people indoors. 

- We won't be doing in-person services during this phase.

Phase 3 will hopefully be from June 30th to July 13th.

- People can meet indoors with your family plus 10 people without physical distancing and 25 people outdoors without physical distancing.

- Churches can meet at 50% capacity with a maximum of 100 people per service with physical distancing and masks.

- We will be doing 2 in-person services during this phase: 9:30am and 11:00am, as well as 2pm at Westchester.

Phase 4 will hopefully be from July 14th until we reach 75% of the NS population with two doses of vaccine.

- People can meet indoors as a group of 25 people without physical distancing and 50 people outdoors without physical distancing!

- Churches can meet at 50% capacity with a maximum of 150 people per service with physical distancing and masks.

- We will be doing 2 in-person services during this phase: 9:30am and 11:00am, as well as 2pm at Westchester.

We still don't have any details on what Phase 5 will look like.

Please Pre-Register 

God sometimes gives us promises, and often call us to be and do things for His Kingdom. Often those things require great risk and cost. Sometimes we think, "I can just do that later, " or, "this is too hard, I can't do this anymore." When we do that we act like the Israelites on the edge of the promised land and put our part in the promise in jeopardy.

Numbers 13-14

Now is the time to be faithful and follow-through, because we may never get another chance.

Review the past year of ministry at AWC, consider out 2021-2022 budget, and plan for the new year!

Online Services Only

We are doing only Online Services for May 2 & 9, due to the present COVID restrictions in NS. No on-site services until restrictions change. We hope you can join us online at 10:30am this Sunday!

Senior Volunteers

We hope to launch events when COVID cases decrease.

Sharon Taylor has stepped up to lead the effort to minister to and reach the seniors of our community, and she is hard at work developing ideas, putting events together and recruiting a team of leaders! We still need lots of volunteers though, especially to run events. We need all sorts of volunteers to serve in lots of different ways. If you're willing to serve,  reach out to Sharon at 902-669-1330 (Mobile) and let her know!

Celebrate Recovery 
The God of the Bible, The Father, Son & Holy Spirit are THE higher power – the only one that can be in control.
Only 1/3 of people who attend Celebrate Recovery (CR) do so because of a chemical addiction, the rest are hurts and hang ups. Hurts: abuse, emotional, physical and sexual. Hang-ups: bitterness, anger, trust, do not measure up Habits: behaviours and addictions
You don’t need to hit rock bottom before starting recovery. The 8 principles are based on the beatitudes and the 12 steps flow out of the principles. Join us Tuesday nights, the doors open at 6:15 pm (starts at 6:30). Masks are required and physical distancing will be observed. You can register HERE or call the church at 902 667 9126.
