5. Resource Center Update
We invite you to visit our Resource Center and come in to see the selection of books, Bibles, children’s Bible story books, Bible studies, ministry information, music, and more.
If you haven’t checked in the Resource Center later, we restock often and there may be new things you haven’t seen yet. We have several new items to help in sharing the Gospel with both adults and children.
In coming weeks there will be an iPad and printer installed so that you can access information from AC Church ministries and resources.
Please Note:
We have appreciated those of you have inquired about donating books and Bibles you may have accumulated and are cleaning out. Unfortunately, we have limited space and are unable to receive those donations.
Religious books such as devotionals, Bibles etc. can be donated to “Love Packages” when we have the collection in April.
The AC Bookstore in Goodfield www.acbookstore.org also takes used Bibles, Bible Story Books, Hymns of Zion, Zions Harp and Tabernacle Hymns.
If you have any questions, please contact our Resource Center representative Sis Lindsay Funk.

The training will be a combination of skills teaching, discussion time/Q & A, and resources sharing by the ACCFS staff.

7.Special Collection for the HarvestCall Disaster Fund – August 22 and 29
The massive earthquake in southern Haiti devastated tens of thousands of homes, wrecked businesses, flattened churches, and battered Hospital Lumiere’s campus.
Our desire is to assist the hurting, directly through our ministries in Haiti, and also by funding other organizations that specialize in disaster relief.
After assessing the extent of damage and magnitude of need, we are requesting a national collection for the Disaster Fund. Please prayerfully consider a financial donation, as the Lord leads.
You can give to this through the collection boxes at church, by mail, or online on the www.mortonacchurch.org website.
Please mark your check as HarvestCall Disaster Fund or if you are giving on the church website, there is an option to choose “Disaster Fund.”
