Vision
I'm going to just get right to it. We have put together a strategy for how AWC will function during this pandmic long-term, and though it may change (and hopefully there will positive things happen that change what we expect the regulations to look like) we want to give you as much information as early as possible.
You can access the Summary Slides Here.
You can access the Audio Explanation Here.
Or, You can watch our Video with both the slides and the audio Here.

Sunday's Message
The Word of God isn't always fun to read, and something has some very hard things to face in it. Ezekiel faced an incedible challenge as a prophet of God, but it has incredible meaning for us today who also deal with incredible pain.
What We Learned:
Ezekiel 24:15-22
Your pain has a purpose, but it might be for you or it might be for someone else.
Reminder Phrase:
Pain & Purpose
Listen to our messages on our website, on SoundCloud, through our ChurchLink App, and as a Podcast on iTunes!

Essential 7
Here are the 7 things that we feel are the most influential ministries/projects we can be engaged in:

6. Serve Your Community (Neighbours Helping Neighbours, Thank You Essential Workers, Windows of Thanksgiving, etc.)
7. Amherst LIVE
Food Bank
If you'd like to make a donation to the food bank, we're obviously not the place to drop it off at. You can actually drop any donations for the food bank off at the Cumberland County Museum.
After the School Bell
The pantry is open in the Mall Wednesday and Friday 10am-12!
Giving
Even though things are getting weird, and financial pressures are mounting, I know that many of you have committed to tithe, give to missions, or would like to continue supporting the Church as best you can. Find Ways to Give
