Date & Time:  Saturday, March 27, 2010 - 1:00pm - 3:00pm Location:  AAC

All families of young children are invited to join us for this year's celebration of Easter. We'll have a dramatic easter presentation and lots of crafts and kid fun.

Date & Time:  Friday, March 19, 2010 - 6:00pm - 9:00pm Location:  AAC Gym  Here we go once again folks. Your chance as parents to get a night alone. Drop off the kids at 6 and pick 'em up at 9. Have fun!

This past sunday we started our preaching series on 1 Peter: Sojourn. To help families get more out of it, we've put together a study guide with questions for each of the sermon topics. You can download that guide for free right here.

Date & Time:  Friday, January 15, 2010 - 6:00pm - Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 4:00pm Location:  Incarnation Camp

 This is the event of the year for all middle and high school students to get out of the city to hang out with each other and meet with God. Don't miss out!

The cost this year is a mere $75pp and $50pp for families with multiple siblings attending thanks to a generous grant from the All Angels' Farm. We'll be spending the weekend at Incarnation Camp where we'll have plenty space for exploring, playing in the gym, having campfires, and more. As we did at the parish retreat in September, we'll take the Metro North to CT, and hop a bus to Incarnation. 

Students will all be dropped off and picked up at Grand Central Station. All meals are included, though you may want to bring some extra cash in case. Each student will need to bring snacks to share, warm clothes, sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries (towel, toothbrush, soap, shampoo, etc.), flashlight, a Bible, journal, and a pen. As we are traveling together by train, it is important that each student be able to carry their own pack. The leaders cannot be responsible for caring for students' bags.

Sign up using the form below. Additionally, each student must have a completed and signed Registration Form.

 From Ed Stetzer's Blog:

When it comes to church engagement, those who attended Sunday school or other religious programs as children or as teens were much more likely than those without such experiences to attend church and to have an active faith as adults. For instance, among those who frequently attended such programs as a child, 50% said they attended a worship service in the last week, which is slightly higher than the national average and well ahead of those who rarely or never attended children's programs. Among those who frequently attended religious programs as teenagers, 58% said they had attended a worship service in the last week. In comparison, less frequent participation as a teenager correlated with less frequent adult participation.

See, schlepping your kids to church on Sundays actually has a long-term impact on their faith. It's worth it! Be encouraged and keep it up. And be sure to check out the rest of the post.
