AngelTreeNowthroughDecember17

Atlantic Avenue Church has decided to help the people of our church and the children of the community this year with the Angel Tree. We have contacted the Franklin School District and names have been given to us of children & teens that are in great need. Take a tag from the tree and sign it out with your name and tag # (so

we can help if someone loses a tag – hey, it happens). Then return your present under the angel tree by Sunday, December 17.

Celebration Sunday Sunday, December 31 – all 3 services

Come celebrate what God has done at Atlantic Avenue Church in 2017!

Ready for a date night? Looking to take care of some holiday shopping? Drop off the kids on Friday and enjoy a night out. Children can be dropped off as early as 5 p.m. Dinner will be toasted cheese, applesauce, and cookies. Make sure to mark if

they will be eating dinner with us. Sign up online at aaubchurch.org or at a resource center by Wednesday, December 6. Make sure to also fill out a
