End of Program Year Newsletter
As we look back on this program year, we celebrate all that we experienced together through our 2025-26 theme, ”Dusting Off the Pages.” Throughout the year, we embraced the invitation to rediscover the power, poetry, and presence of God in scripture — not by taking every word literally, but by taking it seriously. Together, we explored the Bible as a living conversation that calls us toward compassion, justice, curiosity, and transformation. Week after week, our worship reminded us that these ancient stories continue to speak fresh truth into our lives and our world.
The year began with Homecoming Sunday and Member Engagement Sunday, when we celebrated the many gifts, passions, and ministries that make our congregation such a vibrant community. Drew Hall buzzed with conversation as members and friends discovered new opportunities to serve, learn, advocate, and connect. It was a wonderful way to launch a year filled with meaningful ministry.
From there, the momentum continued. Choir, Bell Choir, Faith Lab, Youth Group, MaLL, Men’s Fellowship, Women’s Fellowship, and many other ministries flourished, creating opportunities for worship, fellowship, learning, and service across every generation. We also enjoyed a rich variety of special programming, including Adult Bible Study, Kingdom Opportunities, Bible Trivia, youth outings, the annual lock-in, and many other events that strengthened relationships and nurtured faith.
As you explore this newsletter, we hope you’ll enjoy revisiting the many moments, milestones, and ministries that shaped this remarkable year. Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, led, supported, and shared their gifts. Together, we truly dusted off the pages of scripture and discovered anew God’s presence at work among us.
I hope you enjoy reading about these programs, ministries, and events, whether you were able to attend in person or not. And I hope that you make every effort to engage with your AHCC family throughout the summer – we have a great worship series planned!
