There will be no Allendale Public afternoon busing on November 20 & 21.

This Friday morning is our first School Family Service chapel.  Students and teachers will gather for prayer in the gym at 8:30 and then spend about 40 minutes serving around school and our community with our school families.  Parents are welcome to join us! Meet us in the gym at 8:30 and sit with your child's family. Pray that God will be glorified as we show that Kindness Matters.

The ACS Chapel Committee would like the names of any current family, church, or community members whom we can pray and make cards for in our  school family groups. These members could be serving in the military, police, fire department, EMS, local government, as missionaries, local pastors, Allendale community leaders, those who are grieving or have an illness, etc. Please have the name with current position or need sent to Mrs. Huisman, 4th grade teacher, at  lhuisman@allendalechristian.com by  October 27.  Thank you!

David Feddes, formerly of the Back to God Hour, will bring the message.  The Unity Christian High School choirs and orchestra will participate.   After expenses, the offering will be divided between World Renew and the Family Life Center of Allendale.  Plenty of handicap parking is available.  Supervised childcare will also be provided.  Be a part of history!
