We met this past Sunday on Zoom. The discussion went well and was very easy to use. It was so good to have that time to check in with each other, grapple with what's going on, and talk about where God's calling us. We'd love to have anyone join us who's looking for a way to connect. We're meeting Sundays after the service at 10:30. Over the next few weeks, we'll be looking at different readings and studies with some lectionary mixed in. People can just drop-in or contact Lisa Worf at 248-770-7400 or
email her, if they'd like to be added to the list or are having trouble connecting via the link.
A Women’s Bible Study via Zoom has begun on Thursdays at 8 PM. To join in, contact Amanda Shanks. She will give details about connecting to the Zoom gathering. [email protected] mobile/text 804-338-9847
The out-of-school time program is still being held at Avondale. This may be the only program regularly active on campus at this time. If you want to go to the Church, please notify Jessica Shanks so that she can let the ABC program leaders know that you are coming and are allowed into buildings. Call or text her at 704-488-5037. Thank you very much.

Attic Sale Fundraiser Update
Hello friends and neighbors, Unfortunately, we will be postponing the Attic Sale until further notice. Kindly please continue to hold onto your donations until further notice, if you have the space and are able to keep them. We do plan to still have the Youth Attic Sale & Bake Sale when it is safe to do so. As always, thank you for supporting the Youth Missions.
ASAP Aquarium Refund
Due to closure of church events and precautions related to COVID-19, the Aquarium trip is cancelled for March 19. The Aquarium is refunding the money since the same people may not be able to go at a future unknown date. I do not have a precise date yet when you will receive your money. -Olivia Magee
