2020 is Almost done!…our last news-letter (minus one)
Yes, it’s been a long year, which makes communication at once more important and more complicated. You can always stay up-to date with the AC3 app (download it for free here) and at ac3.org.

And now…the News.
November Series: “Enneagram in the Time of Covid”
6,7,8 & 9…the wait is over! We are finishing our Enneagram series starting November 8 with the special bonus of learning the way your type will handle the stress and chaos that is 2020. Don’t miss the exciting conclusion to this series. If you aren’t one of these 4 types, you probably love someone who is!
E-Groups
Community is even more important because we are seperated in many ways. AC3 is on the move to become a church of small groups (not just a church with small groups) with the addition of E-groups: 10 to 12 people getting together to review the previous week’s sermon and discuss how it relates to real life.
E-Groups also include Bible study, sharing of prayer requests and plenty of time to get to know each other. Most groups are meeting on Zoom currently but we look forward to meeting in person soon. Find the one that’s right for you (or join the waiting list) by clicking right here.
Youth
Youth group is going Small for the Fall. With the current health concerns the youth group is looking to move forward with the ministry year in the safest way that will still give 6th through 12th graders a safe place to connect, share struggles, have fun, and talk about Jesus. These small groups will include 4-5 students and a trusted youth leader meeting twice a month. If you haven’t heard from a youth leader and would like your child in a group, email rick@ac3.org.
Church Center App
In this season of separation, our church center app has become an essential tool for communication. If you don’t have it on your phone yet, go to your app store, search for “Churchcenter” and once you download the app, search for AC3. You can give securely, register for ACE classes, link to the website and stay in the loop when Covid rules change affecting AC3 activities.
Website
Our menu issues on the mobile version of the website are fixed…thank you Marysville Foursquare for the loan of your IT person!! Make sure you check us out at ac3.org with our new Happening Now button to stay up to date with our latest offerings and any schedule changes due to Covid phase updates.
Kreek Kids!
Each Sunday we are running class for our K-5th graders during the service. Strong safety measures, distancing and masks are in effect to create a place allowing kids a chance to laugh, learn and socialize all while doing a walk thru of the greatest story ever told. Be sure to check it out if you have Elementary aged kids.
Covid-1900
Every night (except Saturday) you can find one of our leaders on Facebook LIVE! at 7pm (1900 hrs) leading us through a short devotional thought and then praying for any requests that people post in the chat as well as the needs in our church, city, state and world.
Services
We have live services every Sunday at 10am…these are also available via livestream on Facebook for those of you who can’t make it to the building.
