Pass the Peace
We invite you to Pass the Peace to another Avondaler during Sunday Worship. Text/respond....
Today we celebrate Epiphany! Epiphany is fun to celebrate with children and a great opportunity to revisit the story of Christmas. Open your children's Bible and read the story of the Three Wise Men, their long journey searching for Jesus and their great courage. Remind your children they too are wise and courageous and God desires a life for them of great journeys and courage, always searching for Jesus in everyone they meet and in everything they do.
We invite you to visit the church campus and take your own journey searching for and following the gold stars! How many can you find? Your journey will end in the Sacred Garden, where you will find the biggest star and greatest treasure of all!
AVONDALE IN ACTION
Avondale Social Tonight @7 PM!
See some warm smiles and faces this evening at the Avondale Social! You never know who will show up or what you might hear.
We continue our mission of lunches for our homeless neighbors. On Jan 26 and Feb 23 we need more hands. Please take a look and sign up! The new opportunity of "Lunch Leader" involves getting the groceries (Mission will reimburse), leading the assembly, and taking the lunches over to the dorm in the Elizabeth neighborhood. Room In The Inn will not be at Avondale this season. We are grateful to be able to join together and help our homeless neighbors this way! Here is a video sharing how Roof Above responded to 2020 challenges.
Your Christmas Stars are ready for pick-up in the breezeway! Please pick-up by Jan 12. If you want to donate your star to Avondale, no action is needed.
Thank you for your support of the ACE program and helping raise money for fresh, warm lunches.
In case you missed it...
