Vision. Wins. Does Jesus Apply to My Situation?

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 22 April 2021

Vision

Well, it seems like the pandemic and the isolation keeps going... We remember tragedies, we plan for Bubbles just to have them burst, we watch the news and wait. It is exhausting. Sometimes I think, "how much longer?"

The Israelites were in exile for 70 years. There were times when they wondered how much longer they could handle it, how much longer they had to endure. God had made a promise though and He was faithful. He brought them home. He rebuilt their city. He got them through the exile.

The books of Daniel and Esther share stories about the Israelites living in exile and how God got them through it despite the challenges and threats.

The trials we are facing today won't last forever. They won't.

Hang in there. Stick together. And remember how faithful God is.

Wins

1. Through the lessons Michael has been sharing with the youth, they are seeing teens surrender the things that are keeping them from sharing the Good News of Jesus with others!

2. Pastor Sheryl is continuiing to disciple people and recently had a conversation with someone about how committed they are to Sundays services and volunteering, and it is affecting their family in big ways!

3. I have had a couple conversations lately where people from AWC took the initiative to have a very honest conversation with me, even seeking reconciliation! Their willingness to be vulnerable, give feedback, be honest, and to seek unity was incredible!

At AWC

Teaching English in Bosnia (NEW)
World Hope is looking for teachers who would be willing to record lessons to help kids learn English in Bosnia. If you would like more details or to join into the Zoom information call on April 24th, please contact Pastor Evan.

Sundays @ 9:30am Services
Our Sunday service at 11am is filling up to the point that we are running out of room. Would you consider, if you are able and don't have children going to Konnect Kids at 11, switching to the 9:30am service? The more people who join us at 9:30, the more room we have for families and visitors at 11am.

Senior Volunteers
We are relaunching out Seniors Ministry. Sharon Taylor has stepped up to lead the effort to minister to and reach the seniors of our community, and she is hard at work developing ideas, putting events together and recruiting a team of leaders! We still need lots of volunteers though, especially to run events. We need all sorts of volunteers to serve in lots of different ways. If you're willing to serve,  reach out to Sharon at 902-669-1330 (Mobile) and let her know!

Konnect Kids
We are launching Konnect Kids again! Kids ages 2-12 can join the fun on Sundays on-site at AWC at 11am! Parents can register their kids when they register for the worship service!

Celebrate Recovery 
The God of the Bible, The Father, Son & Holy Spirit are THE higher power – the only one that can be in control.
Only 1/3 of people who attend Celebrate Recovery (CR) do so because of a chemical addiction, the rest are hurts and hang ups. Hurts: abuse, emotional, physical and sexual. Hang-ups: bitterness, anger, trust, do not measure up Habits: behaviours and addictions
You don’t need to hit rock bottom before starting recovery. The 8 principles are based on the beatitudes and the 12 steps flow out of the principles. Join us Tuesday nights, the doors open at 6:15 pm (starts at 6:30). Masks are required and physical distancing will be observed. You can register HERE or call the church at 902 667 9126.

AWC-Online
Did you know that you can do church wherever you are? We put together special content each week so you can do church at home! You can find our videos here!

Register for On-Site Services
If you'd like to attend AWC on-site (live in-person on Sunday), you can register ahead of time by clicking here, (you will also see all of our safety measures and instructions listed there) or you can call us or show up on Sunday and register there. We have limited seating available due to COVID-19 so seating is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis. 

Konnect Kids Online
If you've got kids, or grandkids, nieces or nephews, and you'd like them to grow in faith, character and wisdom, you might want to check out our online resources for kids!
