Making our Goal a Reality

In 2023 we set a BAG (Big Audacious Goal) of transforming our campus into an events center for the community. This last week we saw that goal becoming reality. 3 different community groups held 3 very different events on our campus. OCCCO held a voting event in our courtyard, Vox Obscura held a concert, and we hosted the October Downtown Community Meeting.

We have begun a study of the congregation to identify our strengths and discern God's leading for our future. The first step on this journey was a survey. Thank you to those who participated in this step!

Want a sneak peak on the next steps in the journey?

Mission Study Workshop

This last Saturday, we held our first workshop to discuss the results of the survey. Click here to see a report of those results.

FALL WORSHIP SERIES

Sermon: Why Are Presbyterians Like That? Justice

Scripture: Matthew 25:31-40

This series is based on a study by Rev. Dr. John Williams. Like most Christians throughout history, Presbyterians affirm the faith articulated in the Nicene Creed and Apostles Creed, but we are distinguished by the particular ways we live out our faith in Jesus. We don’t claim to be the only Christians who emphasize the elements of Christian faith discussed in this series, but we do believe that these common emphases and themes mark us as distinctive in the Christian family.

WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HELP THOSE IMPACTED BY THE HURRICANES?

In addition to our prayers, here are three places you can consider supporting, both in the short term and long term.

1. Black Mountain Presbyterian Church's Hurricane Relief Fund
2. Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Asheville's Pastor Discretionary Fund (choose "Pastor's Discretionary Fund in the drop down menu)
3. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance's Hurricane Response Fund

Please consider making a special donation toward Per Capita.

As part of a connectional church we pay per capita apportionment per member to support the work of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This year the amount is $40.65 and will be divided between Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC (USA)'s system of government, so every Presbyterian is asked to share the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system. Please consider making this special offering, You may add it to your regular offering, but please make a note that the donation includes an offering to per capita.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

Ways to Financially Support the Ministry of AFPC

• Place your offering in the plates available in the Sanctuary on Sundays.

There are plates available in the center aisle and on the communion table.
