The General Assembly of the PCA denomination is being held in Birmingham this year, June 21-24, and our Presbytery (Evangel) is hosting. Volunteers are needed from every church and there are a number of ways in which you can help. To view serving opportunities, or to sign up, go to General Assembly Volunteer Sign-Up. Also, did you know that there are numerous activities planned for women, children and families? A complete schedule of the conference can be found here: General Assembly Full Schedule. Note that visitors are invited to join the worship services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Service times vary so check the schedule.

Some have expressed interest in the overtures that come before our annual denomination, and some are asking what is an overture?  An overture is simply a request for action that some member of our denomination or a court of our church thinks the General Assembly should take. That annual General Assembly will take place here in Birmingham this year on June 21-24. If you are interested in more information, you can check out these overtures by clicking this link: General Assembly Overtures.

Come check out the 100 Envelopes board in the Welcome Center. The youth group is raising support toward their mission trip to Sacred Road Ministries and they are asking church members for donations. Choose an envelope today with the amount you’d like to give. Scan the QR code and give online, or drop a check in the display box or offering plate. Be sure to write “Youth Mission Trip” in the Memo line.

Would you be willing to share the love of Jesus with our 4, 5, and 6 year old children this summer during either late or early service? The time commitment is only 40 minutes. Contact Catie (catie@avpc.org) to join in this children’s ministry adventure.

Join us for a volunteer meeting on June 1 at 5:30 PM. Snacks will be provided. Please contact Catie (Catie@avpc.org) for childcare needs and other questions. If you have not registered online to serve, you may show up at the meeting, and Catie will put you to fun work.

Coming soon: Be on the lookout for registrations for Camp Solid Rock. Volunteer and campers registration forms will soon be available. You will want to save the dates of June 6 - 10 for this EPIC week of Camp Solid Rock worship and fun!
