OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS

LUCILE BOZELL will celebrate her 98th birthday this Friday, July31.  Happy Birthday, Lucile!  If you would like to send her birthday greetings, you may send them to her at Oak Grove, 221 West Division Road, Room 217, Demotte, IN 46310.

CHANGE TO ARC COVID PRECAUTIONS:  Governor Holcomb has mandated the wearing of masks in all indoor public spaces in the state of Indiana beginning July 27, 2020.  Therefore, beginning August 2, we will be asking everyone who is attending worship in person at ARC to wear a mask.  If you do not have a mask, we have disposable masks by the doors of the sanctuary that you should use while you are in the building at ARC.  Romans 13 calls us to be subject to the governing authorities, therefore we feel it is required of us to follow this order from the governor of our state out of obedience to Christ and the governing authorities placed over us.  We will continue to record all messages and will post them online on our website, Facebook page, and YouTube each Sunday morning at 9:30.  We hope you will join us August 2, either online or in person as we worship and celebrate communion together.

WE CONTINUE TO OFFER homemade masks to you as well as anyone in need in the community.  We are running low on adult masks.  If you sew and would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it!  We've placed baskets in the front entrance (door #8) for drop offs and pick-ups.  Masks are available to pick up Monday thru Friday from     9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M. and Sunday mornings.

JOIN US AS WE CONTINUE OUR 100 DAYS OF PRAYER!   As we approach our church’s 100-year anniversary, we invite you to join us in 100 days of prayer leading up to the 100-year anniversary of ARC’s very first worship service.  We have placed an August prayer calendar in your mailbox with daily topics that we ask you to focus on.  We will distribute prayer calendars each month leading up to October 10.  Extra calendars are available at Sanctuary exits as well.  Topics will also be listed in the bulletin.  “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:18
