Community Resources is hosting a free course on Practical Money Skills beginning Monday, February 6th for 9 weeks from 6pm-7:30pm in the Heritage Room. The art of budgeting, buying a home, credit cards and saving & investing are a few of the topics that will be covered. Registration is now closed, but please watch for other seminars that will be offered through the year by Community Resources.

The Community Resource (CR) Ministries reaches out into the community to extend the loving hand of Jesus Christ, meeting people in the midst of their trials.  Loleda Moman is the Director of the CR Ministry, and leads a team of volunteers who feel called to minister to the needs of people in this way. 

If you are part of the church family at ACAC, you can receive hands-on support from a Care Manager on the CR team.  If you are not part of the ACAC church family, and have a need, you can receive support through referrals to appropriate resources in the local community.  In all cases, we seek to minister to the whole person-body, soul and mind. 

If you are in need, and would like to see if the CR Ministry can help you, please call 412.321.4333 x 124.  Or, you can email Loleda Moman at loleda.moman@acac.net. You can contact the same phone and email if you are interested in serving in this ministry!
