1 Corinthians 9: 24 - 25
24 Don’t you know that all the runners in the stadium run, but only one gets the prize? So run to win. 25 Everyone who competes practices self-discipline in everything. The runners do this to get a crown of leaves that shrivel up and die, but we do it to receive a crown that never dies.

Your help is needed on Sunday mornings!
As we make the transition back to in-person worship, we are finding several areas where additional volunteers are needed. Please take a look at the different opportunities using the form below. Volunteering on Sunday mornings is a great way to fellowship, meet new people and a critical piece of the puzzle in allowing us to have a successful and meaningful worship service!

It is with deep sadness that we share that Ms. Louise Chambers joined the Church Triumphant July 13, 2021. Louise, 97 years old, joined Avondale church in 1970 and served for a period of time as the Director of Christian Education.
A family service was held in the Sacred Garden on Thursday, July 22. Please join us in keeping Tim, Betty and the remainder of the Chambers family and close friends in your prayers.

Career Talks with ACE
“As a kid growing up many years ago, I had little notion of the careers I might pursue. I grew up on a farm...and had little knowledge of other careers until later in life.” We want to educate students about what people do in their jobs. So, as part of the ACE summer program, we ask people to take ~30 minutes, come by the church, and talk with students about what you do professionally. More

The nursery is open and available for children 2 and under. This includes children of older ages with physical limitations that inhibit proper mask wearing. All of the staff and volunteers working in the nursery have been fully vaccinated. This is just one more way we are trying to care for the most vulnerable among us. |
