Re-Opening Task Force Update
The re-opening task force has been meeting to discuss up to date information regarding COVID-19 and how to safely allow for in person gatherings at Avondale. While we are still quite away from being able to worship together, we are working on being able to provide opportunities for small gatherings of classes and small groups.
At this time small groups can begin gathering on the church campus for the purpose of meetings, fellowship and study. In an effort to manage the use of space and allow for proper cleaning, please use email or call Jessica Shanks to reserve a room. To ensure the safety of all, we ask that you wear a mask when meeting on campus and when possible, use a fan and prop doors open for better air circulation. Hand sanitizer will be provided in each room along with disinfectant wipes to wipe down hard surface areas prior to leaving.
Vacation Bible School
Avondale’s 2020 VBS theme is “Feet that follow: Awesome are YOUR feet! They carry God’s love wherever you go!” It's a free, staycation camp of fun and more. You will receive a “list of materials needed” the week prior. Interested? We invite families to sign-up. Please spread the word, open to all.
From Sacred Space
Dear Avondale Family, Our Sacred Space committee wanted to share a brief update. With the current economic uncertainty of the country we don't feel that it is prudent to move forward to the next phase of our capital campaign. Our hope and prayer is that by the middle to late fall, the pandemic will be subsiding and there will be a better sense of what the economic future looks like. At that time we should be able to communicate to you the next phase in the process. We continue to thank you for your patience and understanding during this time of discernment. 
ABC Ministry
Pictured here are kids from the last day of the school year. We sent them home with a "summer kick-off meal" that day with hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, potato salad, chips, etc. - yum! THANK YOU to all for your generous support of the ABC Family Meal Bag Special Offering.
We are pleased to share that two middle school boys are attending Camp Grier camp!
Panel Discussion last Sunday
Rev. Jim Ewing hosted a Panel Discussion on June 21. We'd like to give a grateful "THANK YOU" to our panelists: Rev. Veronica Cannon, Dr. Rev. Jerry Cannon, and Ann Sanders. Thank you to all who came to listen and share. Approximately 25-30 people were in attendance. We promised to share resources mentioned in the discussion. See following:
