* Communion & Offering
We take communion weekly to remember the death of Christ for the sins of all who believe (Luke 22:19-20). Christ has commanded we remember him when we take it, and we take it as a sign of proclamation of the good news of what Christ has done, and as a sign of unity of the Church (1 Cor 11:23-33). We welcome all believers in Jesus to repent of their sin, be baptized and partake of the Lord's supper. As it is served, take both cups and reflect on what Jesus has done and examine yourself. We will take the meal together with the Elder leading communion.
Tithes & Offerings: Feel no pressure to give, but give freely to the mission of the church as God leads you to. Offerings may be placed in the Offering box. If you prefer to give online, please go to the ACC app or auburnchristian.org/give.

Acts 28:1-10
After we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. 3 When Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. 4 When the native people saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. Though he has escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. 8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. 9 And when this had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. 10 They also honored us greatly, and when we were about to sail, they put on board whatever we needed.

News of Note
Each year, ACC hosts a Membership class for those who have questions about membership with our church or who are desiring to place membership. The sessions are led by several of our elders, with opportunities to visit and ask questions. This year, we will be hosting those membership classes in the Sanctuary on Sunday mornings during our Sunday School hour, the second session is THIS SUNDAY, November 9 @ 9:40 AM. There are four sessions and this week is session two, so we do hope those with interest or questions can join us. Please reach out to Pastor Nate or one of the elders if you have questions.
Auburn's Hometown Christmas celebration is Nov. 20-22. On Saturday, Nov. 22, ACC will have a live nativity from 1-4 PM at FLC and a float going through the Holiday Lighted Parade at 5:30 PM. Here are some areas where volunteers are needed:
1) Commit to a one-hour shift at the live nativity as either Joseph, Mary, a shepherd, or a wise man.

November Mission of the Month
Working through New International, Jeremy Befort provides long-term one-on-one discipleship and mentoring to Romanian young adults: those who have left sate-run orphanages, are struggling to integrate into adult life, as well as the severely marginalized Roma (Gypsy) population. Every week, Jeremy is in contact through online meetings with 100 young adults out of the 300 on his list. He also travels to Romania up to four times a year. On one of his trips to Romania, Jeremy met Alex. Recently, Jeremy has been teaching Alex a modified Discovery Bible Method that he can use to study the Bible. Alex really likes the method and said he feels it will help him make the Bible personal and practical in his life, rather than just a collection of knowledge.
