Parsonage Windows Fund As we pray and anticipate another Youth Pastor in the near future, we would like to accomplish some much needed repairs and renovations to the parsonage. There are several projects to be done, but the first priority is to replace the large windows, with costs around $34,000. We have a special designated fund set up above our normal general fund of tithes and offerings. Please consider donating to this special project labeled Building Completion Fund. Thank you. J.O.Y. Group (55+) Our next J.O.Y. Group Lunch is Thursday, November 17th at 11:30 am. There is a signup sheet at the Welcome Center.
Financial Update We are so grateful to God for everyone's faithful giving of their tithes and offerings to the Lord, and to support the ministries of the Alliance Church of the Valley. Your contributions make our mission to "Grow a Community Rooted in Christ" possible. We served around 1,000 people at our Trunk or Treat event, regularly disciple nearly 140 children each week at AWANA, 60 teens at Youth Group, many children in Sunday School and Children's Church, not to mention all our Adult Ministries. So thank you for giving. As you can see from our Stewardship Update on the back of this Worship Folder, we are currently $30,000 behind the budget that was approved in September. Please pray and ask the Lord to continue to provide as He has done so abundantly over the last 100 years, and if the Lord impresses upon your heart to give, the offering boxes are located near the exit doors. Bless you for your gracious generosity. Upcoming Seminar “Estate Planning From a Biblical Perspective” will be presented by retired attorney David Danielson. Learn what the Bible has to say about estate planning, and how to know whether your estate plan is effective, efficient, and eternally focused. The seminar will be on Monday, December 5th, from 9:30am until noon. David will repeat this seminar on a Saturday morning next spring for parents and for those who work during the week.
