Thanks to everyone who's already submitted their 2026 pledge. ACC's rich legacy of generosity continues! If you still haven't turned in your pledge card, please mail it to the church office, bring it on Sunday, or share your commitment online at allisonville.org/pledge.

Buddy Bags Thanksgiving & Winter Breaks - Thank You!

Thank you for your generosity in helping to fill the Buddy Bags for Clearwater Elementary,

Eastwood Middle School, and Northview Middle School. We were able to provide 180 bags of food to these three schools for students to take home for their Thanksgiving and Winter breaks.

Because of you, these students can enjoy their breaks without wondering if they will eat that day.

RSVP

Join us for Blue Christmas on Wednesday, December 3rd. We'll have a casserole pitch-in at 6pm. Bring a casserole of any kind, and stay for worship at 7pm. This worship is especially for those who are seeking extra comfort and a place to lament during this season.

We are saddened this week by the passing of Lois Nahre, whose funeral was on Friday. We continue to hold Linda Belding, the Jacobs family, and all those grieving Lois in our prayers.
We grieve with Russ Smith and the Smith family on the passing of Russ’s mother, Grace.
We are saddened to have learned of the passing of Kathy Massey. Please find the obituary here.
We continue to pray for those in our church family with physical, mental health, and financial concerns. We specifically want to lift up Don Burrell, Jerry & Sandy Zimmerman, Vernon & Elaine Scott, Joyce Jones, Nancy Krumwied, Karen Bayne, and Robert Keltner.
Our Global Ministries prayer partner this week is Columbia, and we pray for peacemakers offering spiritual support.
