* 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.
John 15:1-11
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

May Mission of the Month
Troy & Roma Jean Backhuus met at Nebraska Christian College over 40 years ago. They have three adult daughters and four grandchildren. For twenty-three years, Troy has been a professional counselor. He also taught at Nebraska Christian College. Teaching is his first love. Troy & Roma Jean went on multiple missionary trips with college students, and that's where they got into missionary care. Today Troy works for Crown College in Omaha instructing people in how to counsel others. He does still have his own practice, but it is specifically in missionary care. They work with missionaries on a weekly basis by connecting online. Missionaries are grateful that Troy & Roma Jean have opportunities to serve alongside them in the field: living, working, praying and counseling them. Troy and Roma Jean serve two regions through One Mission Society: Europe and Africa.
Learn more about Troy & Roma Jean and support them through ACC by designating your gift to Mission of the Month.
