Volunteer Ministry Spotlight: Worship Band
Aboite’s worship band is one of the key elements of who we are. The band consists of a dozen or so dedicated individuals, who give of their time and talents on a weekly basis. These individuals practice together during the week, show up early and stay late for every service. Please take the time to meet the band before or after a worship service, and thank them for their service to our congregation. If you would like to get involved with the band contact dave@aboitechurch.org. Dave would love to get to know you and get you involved in this exciting ministry.

More than 6,500 people seek assistance from In As Much each year.

August 8/9: “Why I Give” The Blessings of Giving
Join us for a worship service August 8/9, 2010, as Pastor Rich talks to us about the blessings of giving. In this message, Pastor Rich asks and answers a very personal and powerful “Why I” question. And through the answers, we see that giving is not something we do for others or even for ourselves. It’s all about an audience of one.
