CHRISTMAS SHOEBOXES

Christmas is right around the corner and AVPC is partnering with Sacred Road Ministries to provide 50 shoebox gifts for them to distribute to needy families. Christmas Shoeboxes can be used as a ministry tool to remind the kids of God’s love and faithfulness for us. Please pray about your ability and willingness to participate in the shoebox outreach this year. Read the article in the Saltshaker and Visit the display in the Welcome Center to participate.

WINTER COATS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Our new missionary, Stephen Merwin at UAB, has asked AVPC to donate any available hand-me-down coats for his student outreach. Often these young adults are arriving from tropical countries, unprepared for winter in Birmingham. From now through Nov.13th, you can place your coats into the marked box in the Fellowship Hall. Thanks for checking your closets!

ATTENTION NURSING MOMS

We are re-establishing the Library (located off the Parlor) as our Nursing Room. Feel free to close the door and listen to the service through the in-room speaker. Also, remember our Conference Room and Welcome Center are available for parents and kids who suffer with the wiggles, to still hear the service.

SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP MEALS

Our evening Fellowship Meals will be featuring a Dessert Potluck at every meal - provided by you! Dust off your favorite recipe or bring store bought goodies - enough to share with 8-10 people. 

OUR MISSIONARIES OF THE WEEK are Peter and Janet H. Peter and Janet are serving in a creative-access area among an unreached people. They operate a small arts business and are involved in discipleship and evangelism toward the goal of church planting and growing/strengthening the existing church.
