"For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own,they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people." II Cor 8:3-4
It's time for us to engage in the blessing of giving generously! This is a special opportunity when we can let go, and pour ourselves out for the things that are most important to us. We love our church, and we love the way that we have been able to impact the people of this area through God. We have dreams of doing so more and more.
So we designate a day every year where we give above and beyond what we usually give. This year our goal is to raise a minimun of $8,000. The funds we receive will be used to meet the monthly financial obligations of our church for staff and facilities, so our church can continue be effective in the months to come. The greater the amount raised, the longer we can thrive!
Ten years ago, the ATCC consisted of a handful of members. Since that time, we've baptized almost 100 individuals. The size of our congregation has swelled. But we have further to go before we can be financially stable. Our long term goal is to continue adding members, and then we will be able to use our Generosity Sunday funds to help other churches, and missions around the world!
All money gathered on April 28 will go towards Generosity Sunday. This means that your regular contribution will be included in your Generosity Sunday gift, unless otherwise designated. For those who need more time to prepare their special contribution, the window of giving will remain open unil May 19.
Friends of the ATCC who are reading this are welcome to give to our Generosity Sunday contribution via the Cash app at $ATCC. Please designate your contribution as "Generosity Sunday."
Easter Service: April 21

Our Easter service will be held on April 21 at Town Creek Park in Auburn. Bring your friends and family to enjoy this outdoor service that will include a special Lord's Supper meal.
After the service, we will have an egg hunt for the young people, and games for all of the rest of us!
