Our Christmas Eve services have become one of the biggest opportunities ACC has all year to reach our community for Christ. And this year, we are doing it bigger than ever. In an effort to reach the most people from our community, ACC will be holding identical Christmas Eve services Saturday Dec. 24 at 10:30AM and 9:00PM
Please plan to pickup your family's free tickets on Sunday. While tickets will not be collected at the door and no one will be turned away, it is important that we know how many are coming to each service to allow us to plan.
These services will include all the elements of a Sunday morning, including full children's programming. Bring your family and friends and experience a worship service that opens with a huge celebration and closes with a soft candlelit reflection on a God that loves us enough to send His Son.
We will not be meeting on Christmas morning Sunday, Dec. 25. Our Christmas series called "Searching" runs Sunday, Dec. 4 through Saturday, Dec. 24.
Watch Mike's full explanation of our vision for ACC's Christmas season below.
Do you have a couple hours to spare this upcoming week?
A small crew will be working at the church during the evenings the week of Nov.28 to complete construction on a new stage backdrop in time for our Christmas series which begins Dec. 4. Tasks will involve painting, minor demo work, simple construction and cleanup. In other words, you are qualified, and we would love a few extra hands.
If you can help or have questions, please send an email to Jamin McDowell, who is leading the project: jaminmcdowell[at]gmail.com
Our junior and senior high Student Ministries would like to help ACC parents by offering them a few hours to wrap presents, shop, bake, etc. while their children have fun with our students. Parents can drop their 4-year-old thru 5th grade students off at the church on Dec. 11 from 1:30-5:00PM.
Note: Ohio 125 will close at 2 p.m. for the Amelia Christmas parade, so parents will want to drop and go to avoid traffic.
We will have a "Polar Express" themed party for the kids that includes the movie, cookies, hot chocolate and crafts. Send them in their pj's for an afternoon of fun. Contact Nicki Edmisten by Dec. 5 to sign your child(ren) up for the event.
Hurry, this is limited to the first 25 children who register to make sure we have adequate student and adult supervision.
Note to 6th through 12th graders: No Small Group this Sunday, Nov. 27th. You'll be wrapping up your "Ten Tough Questions" semester Dec. 4th and celebrating with a Christmas pizza party from 5:00-7:00PM Dec. 11 (after the youngster get picked up). Bring a $3 gift to exchange. After Dec. 11, Student Ministries will take a break from Sunday nights until the next semester starts Jan. 22.
Don't forget to stop by the Giving Tree board in the foyer and pick up a tag to purchase an item for a needy child from our community. Gifts need to be wrapped and returned by Dec. 11.Your gift could make all the difference for a child.
Your kids may be asking if they can donate some of their toys to area children this Christmas season. ACC's KidZone is collecting gently used toys to donate to Grace and Mercy as part of their "Gratitude and Attitude" series.
