Weekend Announcements

Posted byandrewj071981Posted in2026

Join us this Sunday as we honor all the moms and ladies at 2nd Ave. This will also be our final two-service Sunday for the time being. Services this week will be held at 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.

This Sunday is the final opportunity to sign up for the farewell luncheon honoring the Sandell family. The luncheon will follow the combined 10:00 a.m. service on May 17. Since it is being catered, we need to submit a final headcount, so please be sure to sign up by Sunday.

Sunday, May 17 will be Pastor Brian’s final Sunday at 2nd Ave. We will gather as one church family for a special 10:00 a.m. service, which will include Holy Communion. Please note there will be no Sunday School or staffed nursery that day.

Beginning Sunday, May 24, Sunday School will take place from 9:00–10:00 a.m., followed by a combined worship service at 10:15 a.m. The building will open around 8:50 a.m. for those attending Sunday School.

This Wednesday will be the final ROCK night of the 2025–26 season. The kids will enjoy an evening outdoors filled with games and a special treat from Brainfreezers. The ROCK program is fully supported through grants and designated donations. Looking ahead, we’re excited to share that a partnership with the Kathleen and Gerald Sheetz Foundation will allow ROCK to expand to four days next year and provide transportation through a van donated by the foundation. While funding makes the program possible, it’s our volunteers who truly make it thrive. If you’re interested in helping next year, please reach out to Ashley for more information.

Second Ave will once again host a Blessing Booth at Saturate Altoona, which takes place on Sunday evenings throughout June. Sherry Falbow and Vicky Plummer are coordinating this outreach and are looking for volunteers to serve each week. If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to them for more information or sign up using the sheet located on the table in the sanctuary.
