COME SING WITH THE AVPC 15-MINUTE CHOIR (This Sunday, October 23)

Come rehearse this Sunday’s contemporary anthem (“It Is Well”) in the choir room from 10:40–10:55 AM (optional early rehearsal from 10:25–10:40 AM), then sing that anthem with the choir in the LATE SERVICE. (Note: the choir will exit the choir loft before the sermon so that singers can sit with the congregation for the sermon. Or people attending the early service can stick around to sing the late service anthem, then go home after the choir sings.) You don’t have to sign up. JUST SHOW UP.

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.
