On Sunday night, March 8th at 6:00pm, we had our monthly Atik service. We started the service with a few comments about our desire to raise up youth and children that are leaders in the Kingdom. Brett Fincher played keyboards for us and sang with the ACOG children and youth as they led the church in praise and worship. After praise and worship, Arlon Fincher blessed us with his song, The Light of That City. The Angels of Mercy drama team did an awesome job praising God to the song Shackles. I believe that everyone in the church was moved by their enthusiastic worship.

Jeremy Atchley, a local evangelist, preached a sermon entitled “Don’t Look Back”. He did a tremendous job of sharing God’s word with us. It is obvious that Jeremy is passionate about God and will be a force in preparing young people for ministry in the Kingdom. I was impressed with his knowledge of the Word and his ability to relate to our youth and children in such a tender hearted manner. He closed out the message with a very moving altar service. We would definitely love to have him join us again sometime.

I am proud of our young people and thrilled with their desire to actively participate in ministry. The more active they are in church, the less likely they are to be pulled away from God by worldly temptations. We want to keep them moving onward and upward as they grow in the their relationships with God. Thanks to our church family for your continued support.

With Love,
Barbara

On Sunday night, March 8th at 6:00pm, we will be having our monthly ATIK service in the sanctuary at ACOG. We are real excited about the way God has been moving in these services. Brett Fincher and our kids praise team will lead in praise and worship. We are hopeful that our drama team, Angels of Mercy, will be ready to share their version of SHACKLES with all of us – YEAH!!

Jeremy Atchley, a local youth minister, will be singing and preaching for us during this special evening.

Please make plans to join us!

With Love,
Barbara

The Atik Service this past Sunday night was great! Brett Fincher, along with the ACOG kid’s, led praise and worship. They were followed by the Angels of Mercy Drama Team as they worshiped to the song, Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone). A young man from Addison Church of God named Ory Hampton delivered the sermon. He posed the question, “Jesus gave His all for us, what are we willing to give for Him?”

We are so proud of our children and their desire to be actively involved in ministry. Thanks so much to our church family for supporting the Atik Services. Our next one will be on Sunday night, March 1st at 6:00 pm in the sanctuary. We hope you will come and join us!

Love,

On Saturday Dec 6th The ATIK ministries Students and leaders and parents loaded up and participated in the Alabaster Christmas Parade. It was cold but we were excited about this because the new Drama team, Angels of Mercy, were going to perform for the first time today at the parade. We started out at the Pizza Hut and I think that we walked about 3 miles. We also had a truck with our little ones that were singing and throwing candy. During the trek to the judge’s platform we rotated from singing Christmas Carols and performing the Drama while we walked.

I am proud to say that our students represented the Alabaster Church of God wonderfully. As we approached the Judges I could tell that they were nervous but they did a great job, they received a standing ovation from the judging platform. I feel blessed to be a part of this ministry.
 
This could not have been done without Patrick and Carrie Sullivan, Jamie Fincher and of course Barbara Snyder.

Thank You
