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

They are working with Team World Vision to help raise money for clean water for communities in need in underdeveloped countries. If you’d like to donate, go online to Team World Vision and search American Reformed Church. You can donate on behalf of a specific runner or the team as a whole.

CAN YOU HELP MOVEMENT WITH SNACKS? Movement is asking for snack donations for when they begin meeting again on September 13. Specifically, they are asking for individually wrapped snacks due to Covid-19 precautions. Individual sized chips, candy, Hostess or Little Debbie snacks, cases of pop/water/juice, etc. would be great! This will help lessen the expense of providing snacks by families and Movement. All donations can be dropped off at church anytime or speak with Pastor Rob if you have questions.
“NOW THAT LIFE HAS SETTLED DOWN, we would like to take a moment to thank ARC for being so supportive, generous, and uplifting as we begin our marriage. We appreciate you all!”
Thank you, Jacob and Melissa

WE CONTINUE TO OFFER homemade masks to you as well as anyone in need in the community. 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.
ARC COVID PRECAUTIONS: Governor Holcomb has mandated the wearing of masks in all indoor public spaces in the state of Indiana. Therefore, we are currently asking everyone 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. 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.
ONLINE GIVING is available through demottearc.com by clicking on the “Donate” link at the bottom of the home page. You can set up a one-time gift or a recurring donation. Thank you for how you support ARC financially.
