📢 PARK AVENUE CHURCH OF CHRIST — THIS WEEK & BEYOND
🔑 TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS — PRESSING ON CAMPAIGN Two important events are upon us as we continue our Pressing On campaign, and we want every family to be part of both!
✨ God's Economy: Stewardship Training A two-session training exploring how obedience to Christ opens the door to abundant blessing — and how debt, dishonest gain, and distraction can quietly erode our walk with Him. It's not transactional; it's transformational.
🗓️ Wednesdays, 6:30 pm — 9/9 & 9/16 (Atrium or Room D) 🗓️ Sundays, 9:00 am — 9/13 & 9/20 (Classroom D or Classroom C) 🗓️ Sundays, 5:30 pm — 9/13 & 9/20 (Atrium)
📖 Copies of Randy Alcorn's The Treasure Principle provided free (one per family).
