September 21- 27



I think Autumn is finally upon us!  We've had some beautiful cool days and Fall officially begins tomorrow on September 22nd.  Then the days will get shorter and the leaves will be changing... and Christmas will be here before you know it!  Although at church you can hear strains of yuletide song coming from Pastor Troy's office already!

Speaking of Pastor Troy, he preached a great message again yesterday!  He continued with the series Faith > fear as we looked at the faith of Abel, Enoch and Noah.  If you missed it, you can watch the recording of our live-stream on our YouTube channel or you can find a link on our Facebook page @abundantlifenewburgh.



Need a mid-week pick me up?  Listen to Pastor Mark's weekly podcast, Just a Thought.  Each Monday you'll find a  short "thought" from Pastor Mark to get you thinking and encourage you in your walk with God.




Here is this week's event:


If you plan to attend Young at Heart this Wednesday, make sure you're sign up for a box lunch from Chick-fil-A.  You should have received a text message you can reply to, or simply call the church office and let us know.


 Here is more information you might need to know...



Know any middle or high school students?

GZ meets every Sunday night at 5:30 PM!  The service with live music and a great word starts at 6 PM.  To know what's going on at GZ, follow them on Instagram @groundzero812 or Facebook @gznewburgh.




Also on Sunday nights, our ALCC Kids have begun practice for the Christmas musical!  If you have Elementary age kids that would like to take part in this fun program, contact Pastor Johnathan or Mimi Montoya.

The play will be held on Sunday, December 13th at 6 PM, so be sure to mark your calendars!



Abundant Life has lots of ways for you to meet others: men's groups, women's groups, Life Groups, seniors groups, and more!  Our Life Groups just started back up and most will be meeting this Sunday evening.  If you haven't yet joined a group, fill out our online survey and we'll get you in touch with the right groups/leaders.

Life is better when we do it together!


Speaking of men's groups...  
Our Men's Ministry is selling smoked pork butts for $25 and ribs for $20.  The bbq will be available to pick up on Saturday, October 10th.  Tickets are available for purchase in the church lobby before and after service.


At the BBQ table, you can also sign up for the men's breakfast on Saturday, October 3, held at ALCC at 8:30 AM.   AND, you can sign up for the golf scramble on October 17.



Ladies, our new "Sister Co." merchandise is available for purchase!  We have a table set up in the lobby of the church each Sunday.  There you can also pick up information about women's groups, like our new mom's group, "Mama Co". 

Also, mark your calendars for the Sister Co. bonfire coming up next month on Tuesday, October 13th.



Lots of information in this blog post - so I sent it out to everyone!  If you would like to get a text message each time I post on the blog, simply text "follow" to 853-3437 or if you'd rather receive information via email, contact me at kforston@alccn.org and I'll add you to the list!  Have a great week!!

We have nothing on the calendar for the rest of January, so here's a look at what's coming up in February: Make plans to join us for the ALCC Marriage Conference February 2-4.  If you know a couple that would be blessed by this conference, feel free to invite them even if they attend another church!  We want this to be a benefit to our community.
