WORLD VISION GLOBAL 6K! 6 Kilometers is the average distance people in the developing world walk for water - water that is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases. On Saturday, May 4th, thousands of people from around the globe will walk or run 6K to bring life-changing clean water to communities in need. Each participant's $50 registration fee provides life-changing clean water for one person, so when you participate in the Global 6K you take that distance away from people in need. ARC is a host site for the 6K! Register at the table in the Fellowship Hall today or register through our church website!
WE ARE TURNING 100! Next Year, ARC will be celebrating its 100th year since being founded in 1920! A committee has formed to help us celebrate. Stay tuned…
