They will gather at the front of the worship center. Benevolent Fund The board of deacons will be collecting a special offering for our benevolent fund. These gifts are used to assist people within our church and the community who are in need. Thank you for giving to this important ministry!

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.
Prayer Chain ACV has a valuable ministry to pray for others. If you would like to be part of the prayer chain and receive requests via email, contact Leanne in the office. If you would like to submit something to be prayed for, you can email acvprayerchain@gmail.com. Prayer makes a difference!
Child Dedication 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.
Connecting with the Community Open Arms exists to reach out, care for and strengthen our community by providing food, fellowship and encouragement in a loving and caring environment. It is the desire of ACV to bring back this important ministry. There are a variety of roles to fill in order for this to happen. Take a look at the sign up sheet at the Welcome Center for more information or contact Mary Stirrat or Cindee Anderson.
