Appleton Community Evangelical Free Church

What a beautiful day! ❤️

We were so blessed to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones too. From worship this morning to lunch, games, and time together afterward, it was a really special day.

Thank you to everyone who came, helped, cooked, played, laughed, and made today so much fun. We’re grateful for each of you!

Here are a few pictures from the day. ❤️

In a world where it’s easy to stay behind a screen, gathering together matters.

We see people all the time. We text. We scroll. We keep up with people online. Some of us even watch church online.

Those things can help us stay connected, but we can still end up feeling lonely and disconnected.

Church isn't just a place we go. It's people who follow Jesus. It's believers who worship, encourage, care for, and serve one another.

It's having people you can be real with, laugh with, pray with, and talk to when life gets hard. And it's being that person for someone else too.

You don't have to already believe in Jesus to come through our doors. Maybe you're curious, or maybe you're still figuring out what you believe. That's okay.

Come check us out on Back to Church Sunday, September 27.

Meet some people, see what we're about, and stay as long as you'd like.

We mess up. We have struggles. We don’t always get things right.

You’ll find people here who are figuring things out, asking questions, going through hard seasons, and trying to follow Jesus.

That’s real life. And that’s okay.

We don’t expect anyone to walk through the doors with everything figured out. Come as you are, be yourself, and take things one step at a time.

Back to Church Sunday is September 27. We’d love to have you with us.

Have you ever had a season where things seem to be going okay, but something still feels like it’s missing?

Maybe it’s connection. Maybe it’s purpose. Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Those are some of the questions we explore through the Bible. What does it mean to know God? Why are we here? Where do we find hope?

You don’t have to have all the answers before you walk through the doors. You can come curious. You can ask questions. You can just come and see what we’re about.

Back to Church Sunday is September 27. We’d love to have you with us.

Such a great love the Father has lavished on us. 💓

Some people need to be warned.
Some people need encouragement.
Some people need help.
Everyone needs patience.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 gives us a pretty practical picture of what caring for people can look like. And it's worth reading the whole chapter to see the bigger picture.

Open up 1 Thessalonians 5 and spend a few minutes with it. What stands out to you?

Life gets busy. Work, family, responsibilities, and everything else can make it easy to lose touch with people.

But we weren't meant to go through life alone. We need people who know us, care about us, and are there when life is going well and when it isn't.

That's one of the things we appreciate about church. Church gives us people to walk through life with.

If you've been away from church for a while, we'd love to see you. And if you've never been, you're welcome too.

Back to Church Sunday is September 27.

We'd love to have you join us.
