We are revising a number of our projects and events to make sure that what we do matters to the lost and leads them to Jesus. We have a new plan for Christmas Eve, which I will share with you early in December. We are also looking hard at Trunk-or-Treat to make the Truth and Love of Christ more obvious, and how we actually stand in contrast to the fear that is so prevalent.

Our Kids Min and Outreach Teams are working hard to experiment and navigate these things. But this isn't just for them to figure out. We are all in this. These events exist so WE, the people of Christ, can show the world who Jesus is, and to get a chance to love them face-to-face. Every interaction we get to have at Trunk-or-Treat should be a moment when we get to help people feel seen by God.

The candy we need donated so we can run this event is simply the catalyst, the thing that opens the door, for that interaction. The candy isn't the point. Loving and reaching the lost is the point.

Please donate candy for this ministry and volunteer to be part of Trunk-or-Treat through decorating a trunk or serving in some capacity so we can help others feel seen by God!

1. We baptized 9 people last Sunday! 

2. We are seeing people being more bold with their faith, especially those who were just baptized on Sunday! 

3. We had a pile of visitors out on Sunday, and someone shared with me that at AWC they felt the people here were friendly and welcoming without being weird about it.

You have the right to raise your kids and make the rules for your home. Police have the right to enforce the law. A king has the right to make the law for the nation. These are examples of authority. When someone has authority over something, they have the right to make the rules and change things. Jesus has authority over us, and authority over our sins!

Mark 2:10

Jesus has the right to forgive your sins.

Decorated Trunks, Lots of Candy & Totally Free!

If we can bring in 10 000 donated pieces of candy by Sunday Oct 22 we will get to pie all three staff!

Join us at the West Highlands Elementary Gymnasium for games and lessons designed to help kids grow in their confidence and character development. 

For kids in Grades Primary to 6

We will spend part of our time together digging into the Bible, Theology and Practical Skills of Faith. We will spend the rest of the evening in focused prayer for each other, our community and listening for God to speak.

I hope this will become a weekly priority for everyone.

This study replaces our small groups for this year only.

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!
