How have your relationships changed since you became a believer? How about your relationship with your spouse? Your relationships with your kids? Your relationships with your friends? Your relationships with people in the office? Your relationship with the guy or gal at the check out counter in Public, Target or Wal-mart?

Fathers Day at a2 was full of plain, old fashioned FUN before and after the morning worship experience! Guys and gals were treated to Buffalo Rock Gingerale, Mug Root Beer, IBC Cream Soda, cookies and polaroids as they entered!
Then the action started with a great worship set from the band featuring the following songs:
You by Hillsong
You’ll Come by Hillsong
Where The Spirit of the Spirit of the Lord Is by Chris Tomlin and Christy Nockels
The band also rocked a2′s first ORIGINAL song, “When I’m In Need” written by Chris Miller and Eric Gay, and the vocal team killed it on an a capella number titled, “Change In My Life.”
Finally, Chris continued Proof of Life covering 1 John 2:28 – 3:10 with a message titled, CHANGE TEST. If you’ve missed any of the messages in this series, you can listen to them on the a2 Church podcast via iTunes or from the a2 website.
This Sunday, Proof of Life continues with LOVE TEST 1.0. Check out 1 John 3:11-24 for a preview. See you this Sunday!

At a2kids we really want to partner with parents! Here are two simple ways we can better serve the parents and kids of a2 Church.
a2kids Check-In:
To better serve you and your children in the area of safety and accountability, a2 Kids is pleased to announce that we have adopted the Lambs List Check-In system for a2′s Nursery, Preschool and K5-Grade 5 environments.
Lambs List will allow your children to be securely checked in and out of their Sunday morning activities. If your child participates in any of a2′s children’s environments, please accompany them to the check-in counter prior to attending the morning worship experience. Your partnership is so appreciated!
Special a2kids Weekly Email:
A special a2kids weekly email provides parents with an overview of what your kids will be learning in their a2kids environments. If you would like to receive the weekly e-news for a2kids, please contact Mary Elizabeth Goodrich @ megoodrich@a2church.org or 334.728.5236.
