AWC Updates

Amherst Wesleyan Church
AWC Updates 18 Dec 2025

Vision

Our newsletters will be on break for a few weeks until into the New Year.

So in this final note before Christmas I simply want to share this plea: honor Christmas by acting like Christ.

Don't worry about fitting it. Don't be consumed by expectations. Don't fall into the stress of chaos. 

Just, act like Jesus.

That is the most meaningful way to honor Christ's coming.

Follow Jesus. Act like Him. Celebrate Christmas.

Wins

1.  AWC - We held our annual Konnect Kids Christmas Presentation on Sunday and we had 40 kids on stage and 191 total people in the building!

2.  Connection - We found out there were some leaking sinks in the kitchen and decided we better call a plumber and brace for the bill.  Well, the plumber came, fixed it all up and the bill was just over $100! Amazing!!!

3. AWC - Over the past couple weeks I have been meeting with different people and I am amazed by how God is working in them! Some are reaching out for relationship help before things are too far gone. Some are trying to make changes to habits they have lived with for 60 years.  Others are following the advice they have been given and are seeing transformation in their homes. Plus we are seeing people continue to reach out, invite, and get others included!!!

4. Connection - Tins and Tims was a huge success that saw so many different people get involved and bless our community. It was especially wonderful hearing how a few people really stepped up to go above and beyond with this project!

Chairs!!!!

Chairs!!!!

With Souls Harbour using our chairs 5 times a week with serving meals we felt it made sense to update our folding chairs from the old fabric topped ones we have been using for about 20 years. 

We just received the new ones this week!

So, we are getting rid of many of our old folding chairs. We have 30ish chairs (like in the picture above) and are selling them for $5 each!

They are stacked in the church sanctuary, so you can come take them! I want them all gone! You can either drop $5 in the bucket by the chairs, or you can e-transfer us for the chairs you take.  (Don't e-transfer before you take them because I can't guarantee how many will be there).

$5 a chair
