Welcome, Baby Neeva – Meal Train
The A2CC family would like to celebrate the joyous arrival of Neeva Kristine Qasim! Baby Neeva was born on August 9th at 7lbs 11oz, to Marta and Nayyer Qasim, and grandparents, Clem & Susan Hasselbach. Let's fill their fridge with food as they care for their little one– sign up here to bring a meal.
Meet & Eat - Sunday, September 13th (Following Service)
Have you started attending the church recently? We'd love the chance to get to know you better! On the second Sunday of every month, anyone who's new is invited to join us for Meet and Eat after the service in the cafe'. It’s a relaxed time to meet other new folks, get to know our pastors and some long-time members, and learn more about who we are as a church and how you can get involved. Kids are welcome!
Rooted - Starting September 13th (5-7pm)
Do you want to grow closer with God? Experience more freedom? Find spiritual friendships? This fall, we're launching a new community that will gather monthly on Sunday nights to eat together and learn how to integrate ancient spiritual practices into everyday life. Whether you're new to the practices or have been enjoying them for years, you're invited. Free childcare & dinner will be provided. Learn more and sign up here.
Groups Fair - Sunday, September 20th (Following Service)
Have you been wanting to find deeper community but are unsure how? If that's you, plan to stay after church the 20th to get to know the different groups that exist in our church and see if one might be a good fit for you! If you are interested in starting a group, reach out to Pastor Hannah at <hannah@a2cc.org>.
Chili Cook Off - Sunday, October 4th (Following Service)
Our annual Chili Cook Off is back and it's just as tasty as it sounds! Sign up at the events table at the church to help with setup, clean up, or to enter a chili in this year's competition.
