NEW SERMON SERIES - STARTING SEPTEMBER 1 - ROMANS
Paul’s letter to the Romans has likely done more good for the world than any letter ever written. It contains the good news that the world needs, not just the world of Paul’s day, but the world of ours as well. This book should come with a warning, because those who receive it and believe it will never be the same again.

ANSWERED PRAYER - KITCHEN MINISTRIES COORDINATOR
This week we were able to hire a much-anticipated kitchen ministries coordinator. Christin Murphy brings a wealth of catering knowledge and organizational skills, which will serve her well as she steps into this position. We are so excited to welcome Christin in this role, and we are looking forward to sharing a fellowship meal as a church soon. Christin and Brandon are regular attenders, along with their son, Zeke. Thank you for your faithful prayers over the past 2 years and praise the Lord for this provision.

COME SING WITH THE AVPC 15-MINUTE CHOIR (September 11)
Come rehearse a classic hymn anthem (“To God Be the Glory”) in the choir room next Sunday from 10:40–10:55 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.

Come hear the Gray Havens in concert at Altadena, on September 25. The Gray Havens is a narrative-pop band from Nashville Tennessee led by singer-songwriter and producer, Dave Radford. Since their beginning in 2013, their projects have been hailed as “an imaginative treatment of faith…[having] a visionary quality that’s both playful and enraptured.” They have a knack for creating a listening experience similar to paging through your favorite book, with richly textured compositions and multi-layered lyrics.
