crazy love celebration

Worship ChangesTaking into consideration the results of the recent survey, combined with various other considerations, the Leadership Team of ACC has decided to make a change to the Worship Service schedule. The scheduling change is effective today. The New Worship Service schedule will be as follows:

•9:00amBlendedWorshipService

•10:30amContemporaryWorshipService•10:30amSundaySchoolforallages

Please notice that the times for Worship did not change, we simply flipped the Blended and Contemporary Worship services around.

Please bring a dish to share and RSVP for this event at alexandriacovenant.org/crazy-love-rsvpLocation: Gym/FLCQuestions? Call Pastor Trinity, 320.763.5659

What to Bring: Bible, Sleeping Bag, Pillow, winter clothing, boots, towel, personal care items (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc), money for Camp Store/Snacks (optional).

This retreat will offer plenty of time for the kids to hear the Word of God from a speaker “Magic Mike” Norton. Mike has been in camp ministry for over twenty years, and he loves to use his talent in magical illusions to help illustrate God’s truth. Kids will also have a chance to play outside on our tubing hill (weather permitting) and broomball rink. Knowing that it is a long trip to camp for some kids, we are inviting those who drive students up to camp the opportunity to stay overnight at no cost. They then have the time to relax or participate with the kids. Check-in Friday from 7:00-8:00 pm, retreat concludes Saturday at 3:00 pm. Includes Friday night snack, Saturday breakfast and lunch.
