about AVCRC this week
October 30, 2026

We welcome Pastor Zach Hillman

~ Lori B is scheduled for hip replacement surgery on November 5.  Please include her in your prayers during the procedure and in the weeks of recovery to follow.
~ Our church council has had a busy week of meetings preparing for the congregational budget meeting later in November.  Please pray for continued wisdom and discernment in all areas as they continue to faithfully serve us.
Thrive: Hunger 
~ Gracious God, we lift up all who face hunger across our nations.  Bless children, parents, and families struggling to find nourishing meals.  Open our eyes to people’s suffering, soften our hearts with compassion, and guide us to share generously. Give wisdom and justice to our leaders, strengthening systems, policies, budgets, and communities so that everyone’s needs may be filled.

November – Canada Food Grains Bank
Our budget offerings support the work of our local church
and denomination ministries like these:
World Hunger Sunday – World Renew: Equips families with tools and training to end hunger in their homes and communities, and our church can make a difference with them.  The gifts we give to World Renew help ensure there is enough for every table—enough food, enough hope, and enough of God’s goodness shared with everyone.”
HOW GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS!
 We will celebrate our church’s 75th birthday and God’s faithfulness to our congregation on Sunday, January 24th. There will be a time of giving thanks and a time of reminiscing back into our church’s MUCH earlier years.
 We are just in the planning stages and would like your help!  If you have any items, old photos, funny “do you remember when…” stories, or any fond memories that you’d like to share, please send or deliver them to Council members.
* Please remember to put your name on your items so we can return them! We’re really going to enjoy putting this celebration together!

We’ve seen a preview of  Episode 2 airing on Sunday, and don’t want to miss it.   We know that Alsie, Art, the S and the G families won’t miss it!
