God calls us to make a difference in our community which is the focus of our Christmas Eve Offering this year. Two elementary schools in our area have very high levels of poverty and needs that ACC can help meet. Please consider making a significant gift this Christmas Eve. Online donations can also be made through iConnect.

If you like to fish or want to give a fishing rod as a gift, join us! We will be building custom rods by St. Croix or another brand of your choosing. The class starts soon and we need to order materials. Call the office for more info.

At the beginning of each year, we take time to focus on concentrated prayer for our church, our community and our world. Join us on Wednesday, January 6 at 6:30 PM for a time of Prayer and Worship.
