What a GREAT first summer it has been for Avalon Beach Church! For 12 weeks we have worshipped the King of Kings in the best sanctuary imaginable! We averaged about 40 to 45 people a week and got to meet some amazing folks from all over the country. We sang from our hearts, prayed with fire from heaven and loved each other well. We got to lead people into a deep relationship with Christ and believe with Christians for healing and wholeness. We watched Jesus answer the prayer that He taught us to pray: His Kingdom came on earth just as it is in heaven!
We want to continue with those who live in this area into the Fall. We would love for you to join us in our Simple Church. Because we will meet in two different locations this Fall, please email me at richstevenson63@gmail.com for meeting information. We would love to see you!
Here are two pictures of a baptism at our last service…
