Next Sunday, October 4 is World Communion and Dedication Sunday! We invite you to stop by the Sacred Garden between 11 AM and 1 PM to receive Holy Communion.
Stewardship will also have a table set-up to receive your pledge cards, if you have not already mailed it in, and a sweet treat to celebrate the dedication of our gifts to the church. Please take the next week to read the letter included in your Stewardship Packet, hear Rev. Jim Ewing's sermons on stewardship, and prayerfully consider your gift to Avondale for the coming year.
Have you received your Stewardship Packet? If not, please contact the church office and we will be sure to get you one!

Sign-Up for Men's Bible Study with Rev. Jim Ewing
When God pours out his love, our parched lives are revived, and our thirsty souls satisfied. What is the secret of receiving more of God's love and of giving it freely to others? The book of 1 John calls us back to the basics of loving God and one another. This six-week Bible study lets you explore life-changing topics from a biblical perspective in community with others in your small group. Challenging questions encourage you to reflect on Scripture and its impact on your life, both as an individual and as part of a community of Christ followers. SIGN-UP

Women's Study Group begins tomorrow!
Our next Women's Study Group begins Thurs, Sept 24 at 8 PM. Join with other Avondale women as we dive deep into the Book of Jonah. From this study, you will walk away with not only a deeper understanding of God's character, a God who is gracious and compassionate, "slow to anger and abounding in love" (Jonah 4:2), whose mercy extends to ALL people, but also a clear sense of our own call and mission in the world. We will meet on Zoom on Thursdays at 8 PM for 5-6 weeks. Our focus will be on HOW to study your Bible, and will include a brief teaching followed by small group discussion. We are an inter-generational group, all ages are welcome.
