We are so glad you’ve come this morning to seek the Lord Jesus Christ and worship Him together with us. Please take a moment to complete the Connection Card attached to this worship folder. After doing so, tear it off and bring it to the Information Center in the lobby to receive a complimentary gift bag and information about the ministries of our church.
Child Dedication We know that children are such a precious gift from God and, as parents, we have the privilege to dedicate our children to Him. At ACV we believe it is important to present our children before
God, asking for His grace and wisdom for our children. If you would like to dedicate your child to the Lord, we will be having a dedication ceremony on Mother's Day, May 8th, during our service. If you are interested, or have questions, please contact one of our pastors. Easter Lilies Today is the final day to order Easter lilies. To celebrate the upcoming Easter season we offer the opportunity to honor the memory of a friend or family member with the purchase of an Easter lily. Cost is $15.00 each. The lilies are used to decorate the Worship Center and may be taken home following our Easter worship services. See tear-off on the back side of the bulletin. Checks can be made out to ACV and placed in the offering boxes or deposited at the Information Center.
