Connecting with our Church Family
Maundy Thursday
Don’t miss out on our special Maundy Thursday event, “Messiah in the Passover,” taking place at Alliance Church of the Valley at 7:00pm on April 6th. Join us as we explore the connections between the Passover and Jesus Christ, our Messiah. Preregistration is required and can be done at stcroixalliance.com or at the Welcome Center.
Easter Service
We would like to invite you, your family, and friends to Easter Service here on April 9th. This year we will be having two services; 8:30 am and 10:00am. This a great time to be asking God who in our life we should be inviting to Easter. Many people are looking for a church but are not sure where to start.
Easter Lilies
Spring Workday 2023
This year’s Spring Work day will be on April 22nd. Please mark your calendars and plan on coming to help clean up our church and grounds. There are projects for outside and inside, and the more help we get the less time it will take. We appreciate all your hard work in making our church so beautiful.
Condolences
We want to express our condolences to Kathy and Dave Danielson for the loss of their nephew, Asher, last Sunday.

The Men’s Retreat is coming up on April 14-15th. There are registration brochures at the Welcome Center and online registration is available through the church’s website. The deadline for registration is April 10th.

Today is the last day to get your orders in for lilies. To celebrate Easter, you have the opportunity to honor a loved one by purchasing a beautiful lily used to decorate our worship center this season. Order forms are located at the Welcome Center, and online forms are available. Plants may be taken home after the Easter morning services on April 9th.
We’re excited to be hosting the Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge Choir on April 16th for our morning worship service. They will lead us in worshipping Jesus and sharing their life transforming stories from addiction to freedom through the love and grace of Christ. This will be a perfect opportunity to invite someone to hear the good news and power of the gospel to change lives.
There is a request for your donatable t-shirts. If they are a size medium or large and have no seams up the sides of the waist, we would love to collect them.
Jerry Berger is using them to make jump ropes for the Operation Christmas Child Boxes. Please drop them off at the church office. Thank You
Connecting with the Community Open Arms Dinner
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make Open Arms such an amazing event.
As you all know, we have been in the process of interviewing a candidate for the Youth Pastor position. Unfortunately for us, he has sensed God calling him to take a position closer to his hometown. We are starting this process over again, but we know God does amazing things, and we are excited to see what He has in store for ACV!
