FAITH & FAMILY WORKSHOP: “Ready for College: Setting Up Seniors for Success"

After church on Sunday, September 22nd, Dominic Chasse will lead parents in discussing how to set up their high schoolers for future success, not just academically but also in their faith. This hour-and-a-half workshop, starting at 12 pm, will equip parents of high school students, allowing them to gain skills and resources that will help them instill in their kids how they can succeed in their young adult years and continue to develop a lasting and multiplying faith.

The deadline to register is Thursday, September 19th.

Join us on Friday, September 6th at 7pm at 2810: a community gathering place, as we usher in the start of a new school year, re-establish our rhythms and routines, and place God at the center of it all. We will gather in the back Courtyard of 2810 (weather permitting) for a family-friendly night of worship and prayer as we focus our hearts and minds on keeping Jesus the main thing all year long.

Join us for our upcoming event as we continue our mission to support under-resourced students. Following the success of our 2023 Advent Offering, we are partnering again with Replenish and Generosity Feeds to provide meals to those in need.

A10 MEN'S MINISTRY | FIRESIDE CHATS

Most guys express a desire to have a regular hang-out time with other guys - not something they have to commit to every week, but something pretty regular they can engage with if available. Also, most of us have experienced how challenging it can be to make friends as you get older. So, A10 Men's Ministry wants to do what we can to help with both of those realities. Fireside Chats are a no-pressure opportunity for guys to get together, hang out, connect, and chat about life.

Join us at 2810: a community gathering place to pack bags full of healthy, shelf-stable foods for kids experiencing food insecurity at Fox Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia. Childcare will not be provided. Children ages five and up can participate in helping to pack meals but must be accompanied by an adult.

Sometimes, life gets so out of control, and we make mistakes that seem beyond repair. Starting on Easter Sunday, March 31st, we'll start a brand new sermon series about what it means to get a fresh start in life by following Jesus.

Did you know most people are more likely to accept an invitation to church on Easter than on any other Sunday? This will be a great sermon series to invite your friends and family who may have walked away from God or don't have a church home to get them back into a relationship with Jesus.

Be intentional: Invite at least one person to Easter at Area 10 on Sunday, March 31st!

Please note: A10 KIDS will not have an Elementary class on Easter Sunday. Kids ages five and up are invited to join their families for a fun and engaging celebratory worship service at the Byrd on March 31st.

Join us on Thursday, March 28th, as we commemorate Maundy Thursday. On the eve of His crucifixion, Jesus gathered with his disciples for a poignant meal, recalling the traditions of Passover. In this sacred moment, Jesus not only shared bread with his close companions but also imparted some of his most profound teachings.

Our Maundy Thursday evening will be a gathering for all ages, where we will share in the breaking of bread while delving into the teachings of Christ. The event will include a potluck dinner and will take place from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Kids of all ages are welcome to join us. Please register below to let us know if you will be coming:

Pro tip: Head to Kroger Marketplace Floral Section (yellow tags are half off), Publix (3 for $12), or Trader Joe’s for good deals on flower bundles! No RSVP is required.

Childcare is available upon request - Reach out to rachel@area10church.com

RePlenish helps local communities provide nourishing meals in urban food deserts. Many kids come from lower-income homes without reliable food availability, so this helps ensure they get some nourishment on the weekends.

This advent season, we raised over $10,000 to support a food security program for Cary B. Elementary, where kids are given backpacks full of food every Friday so they have nutritious, filling meals over the weekend.

This event has currently reached capacity, but we will have opportunities throughout the year to put those backpacks together once per quarter next year.
