Tonight
City Reach officially begins tonight! This evening our special speaker for the adults will be Jeff Leake from Allison Park Church. Jeff is a good friend and personal mentor of mine. It’s actually because of his vision to plant churches that ACC was planted 9 years ago. He is a gifted teacher and communicator.
Leading our Vacation Bible School for our children this week is our children’s minister, Pastor Cal. Cal was also instrumental in the start of our church. He had been doing sidewalk sunday school’s in Ambridge for years before our church was ever started.
I believe more than ever that God has called us to this community with a special purpose, “for such a time as this!”

City Reach Is Finally Here!
Today I spent a good part of the afternoon walking up and down through the streets of Ambridge passing out flyers for City Reach. If even one person’s life is changed forever it will have been worth it!
This is our biggest outreach event of the year. Last year we had an average total attendance of 300 each night with 30 total salvations. I’m believing that God is going to do even more amazing things this year.
City Reach is not about building up our church, it’s about building up the kingdom of God. It’s about being filled with God’s compassion for his people and making His love known. It is about being faithful to Christ’s command to go into all the world and preach the gospel. This is about the mission God has called us to.
If you’re unfamiliar with City Reach, it’s basically three nights of special services for adults with music, giveaways, and a message, and Vacation Bible School for children with games, music, prizes, and exciting Bible stories. Also, I don’t want to forget that there is FREE FOOD provided for everyone, every night following the festivities. 
On Friday the 17th will be our annual Back-To-School Block Party. We will be blocking off the street behind the church and filling it with all kinds of games, food booths, and a moonwalk. We will also be giving away free backpacks and school supplies to students.
I’m so excited about this week! I’m really looking forward to all that God is going to do.
