CHANGE TO 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. 

WE CONTINUE TO OFFER homemade masks to you as well as anyone in need in the community.  We are running low on adult and child 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.
