HAVE YOU CONSIDERED hosting an ARC Get Together? Now is the time to volunteer. The Get Together program is in need of additional hosts to open their homes for a time of fellowship with a group of ARC family. You choose the date and type of get together you’d like to have and the committee will provide you with a list of people and some invitations. Host a cookout, game night, carry-in, pizza party, dessert night… If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Kristi (219-964-9957) or Donna (987-4289 or 219-730-9824). What a blessing to be part of a wonderful church family. Let’s be deliberate in connecting and growing together.
TRAINING IS UNDERWAY! We are working hard to bring clean water to communities in need in underdeveloped countries through Team World Vision. We will participate in the Indy Monumental Marathon on November 9 and appreciate all donations for clean water. You can donate on behalf of a specific runner or give a gift to the ARC Team as a whole by designating gifts in the offering or going to Team World Vision and searching American Reformed Church. You can also support us by keeping us in your prayers as we train and praying for all who are in desperate need of clean water.
