Hallelujah: The Election is Over! What next?
As Jesus people, we are supposed to be different than others. And especially in these very divisive times, we are called to look at things and act differently than others.
Now that the election is over, we have very clear instructions from God on what we are to do and how we are to do it.
Listen to this week’s devotional for details!

ABC Women's Ministry
All ladies and girls are invited to our November event – a cookie exchange! Please bring 2 dozen cookies to share and meet us in Building C at 1:00 pm on November 16.
In addition to enjoying some sweet treats, we will be collecting items for our mission project. You can find the full list of what is needed at abcaz.net/womens-ministry or at our ministry table on Sunday morning.
Some Changes at ABC
Benjamin Franklin is the one who was quoted as saying that “nothing is certain except death and taxes.” If he were alive today, he might add, “. . . and change.” For things change rapidly! Here are a few relatively minor changes coming to ABC:
In 2025, we will put together our own Security Team. They will work with and alternate with off duty Avondale Police Officers.
We will encourage more General Fund giving and less Designated Giving. We’re putting more of our ministries (like youth camp and Christian Challenge) into our budget. Give to ABC and most of our ministries will fluorish! You can still give (above your tithe, please) to the ministry of your choice–but just giving to ABC is the most helpful!
We will adopt our budget (and have a quarterly business meeting) on Wednesday evening, December 11.
We will add a class (Basic Christian Growth for New Believers) to our Sunday School lineup. It will be a short-term class and will be offered a few times per year.
The January Food Distribution (which would normally be scheduled for January 1) has been moved to Monday, January 6.
