This Sunday, October 4 is World Communion and Dedication Sunday! We invite you to Avondale this Sunday between 11 AM and 1 PM to receive Holy Communion in the Sacred Garden. Stewardship will also be there to receive our pledge cards. Following Holy Communion, you're invited to bring your lunch and a chair/blanket to enjoy lunch in the courtyard, weather permitting.

Not able to come this Sunday? More About Your 2021 Pledge

We hope you have/had a chance 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. We hope you share in the joy and excitement of building the Kingdom.

If you have not received your Stewardship Packet or have other questions, please contact the church office! Email Jessica.

You can mail in your pledge card, hand-deliver to the church (this Sunday or to the office mailbox), or submit your 2021 pledge online now. This year, we have a new and improved online pledge form! It's easier than ever before to do online. A digital copy will go to Jacqueline and a copy to you. Submit your pledge via this link.

Join us this Sunday for warm Avondale faces, Holy Communion, and a sweet treat and/or lunch to celebrate the dedication of our gifts to the church.

New Software for Parents at ACC
ACC is getting childcare management software called KinderPass. This software is designed to connect parents to their child's classroom throughout the day allowing them to read about their daily activities, send messages, view photos, diaper changes, and food/fluid intake. KinderPass is also created to help make administrators' lives much easier with online scheduling, billing, tax receipts, payments, wait list, online registrations, live ratios, etc… We will keep you posted as to when we go live with our families!
