InterFaith Neighbors: Building Bridges and Friendships
(A Muslim/Christian Meal and Dialogue)
Sunday, March 6, 5pm—7pm at Abbey Road Christian Church
We will begin with a potluck meal to be brought by all participants; ARCC will provide brisket,
chicken, and drinks. We will begin the meal promptly at 5pm, so please be there by 4:45, at the
latest. We encourage everyone to sit with some folks you may not yet know. The format will be
the sharing of the following 3 topics, one at a time, with a brief presentation from each tradition followed by large
group discussion. Topics are:
1. Is the ‘Other’ my neighbor? 2. Misunderstanding and truth 3. How I live out my faith
Please RSVP to the church office by Thursday, March 3 (335-3422; [email protected]) if you will attend this
enlightening event.
Parking Lot Repair
Your Help is Needed!
Our parking lot is
in dire need of repair! There are
cracks and fractures
over the entire lot
and driveway. Some
of those near the building have been
highlighted so you can see the work
that needs to be done.
We are now accepting donations
to help finance the estimated $7,600
in repairs. To date, we have received
$2,075. If you can give, please make
check payable to ARCC & designate
“parking lot” in the memo line. Your
donation will be credited to your financial report.
Thank you!
ARCC will hold a
garage sale in the
summer or early fall.
Proceeds will be used
for parking lot repairs.
Start saving your
stuff now! We will not
be accepting your donations until close to sale time.
Watch the newsletter for dates &
times.
Adult Sunday School
March 6
The Green Room class will continue our study of God Is Not One:
The Eight Rival Religions that Run the
World, by Stephen Prothero. Please
read chapter 1, “Islam,” pp. 25-49. If
you would like a copy ($11.93 for paperback; $12.99 for Kindle), please
email [email protected] and a
copy will be ordered for you.
The Middle Room class will continue chapter 1, “Baptism”, with discussion of section 4: “Chubby
Bunny”, beginning on page 23, of
Rachel Held Evans book, Searching
for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and
Finding the Church.
Both classes have
just begun study of
new books. This is a
great time to join a
class! 10:45 a.m.
each Sunday!
MARY ESTES’ 84th birthday is Saturday, March 5. All are invited to a
drop-in celebration at the Chateau
from 10-11:30 a.m. for cake & ice
cream. Cards are welcome; no gifts,
please.
Communion Preparation
If you’re looking for a way to serve
on Sunday mornings, communion
preparation might be a good fit for
you! More people are needed who
are willing to learn & do this easy
task. If you’d like to try it out, please
call the church office. If you like,
someone can be available to walk you through
the preparation routine,
so you feel comfortable
to take on the job yourself. Please give it some thought!
Hannah Harmon, a young woman from the Cape Girardeau area,
will be with us in worship on March 13. Hannah has a passion to address human trafficking and will be leaving on March 21 to begin a
12,000 mile bicycle ride around the country designed to raise awareness about human trafficking.
Come and hear about her passion and adventure! A basket will
be available to receive a love offering for Hannah’s mission.
