The Avondale AC4Ed (Alliance Center for Education) is collecting donations for the week-long overnight camp enjoyed by 40 youth enrolled in the AC4Ed summer program. Donations are needed by July 31, 2024. Please drop off at the church office. Flashlights & bug spray are just a couple of items they still need! If you would like to contribute to the supplies needed, please click to sign up. Thank you!
Avondale is working with Carolina Refugee Resettlement Agency to furnish a home and help move in a newly resettled refugee family. We will need donations of household items as well as furniture. We will also need drivers and movers. Stay tuned … more information to come.
The Hand Bells are on vacation!
Late last week our Music Director, Rich Stanley, (and Gary!) took the hand bells of Avondale to be refurbished. The congregation's generosity during Lent/Easter make it possible for the hand bells to be meticulously cleaned and serviced before they are shipped back to Charlotte where we look forward to enjoying them for many years to come. A big THANK YOU to all who contributed to the Hand Bell Fund during this year's Easter Gifts!
