Children's Sunday School

Our Children's Sunday School is in full swing! Thank you to everyone that has helped make this ministry a reality.

Halloween Parade - October 26

In past years, we have run into a problem with our parking lot filling up with Festival goers, and those who come to volunteer can't find a place to park. Our plan is to put cones up to save parking spaces at the back of our lot along the playground wall. If you come to help with the popcorn event (or just want to come by to just enjoy the festival), you may move a cone and park. Hopefully, the cones will be honored, and we will all be able to find parking!

FALL WORSHIP SERIES

Sermon: Why Are Presbyterians Like That? Sin

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-19

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.

Offering envelopes are now available for those making a cash donation.
