ANNOUNCEMENTS
Reformed Youth Ministries Conference: The highschoolers are once again going to the RYM conference in Florida this summer! This is a wonderful opportunity for these students to sit under Reformed teaching, worship together, and enjoy fellowship with one another. Yet, they need some support! You may support online, OR by taking a white numbered envelope from the RYM board, putting whatever kind of fund in it, and bringing the envelope back to Elliot or by the church office. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to Elliot!
The applications for Student Ministry Summer Interns are due on March 31. For more details about this opportunity, see the links in the weekly email or contact Elliot (elliot@ardenpres.org).
Our 2025 Missions Conference is March 28-30. See the weekly email. the church website, and the welcome center for details about our guest missionaries and ways in which you can participate.

Love Packages: During the month of APRIL we will be collecting new and used (good condition) scripturally based material for Love Packages, a ministry that collects Christian materials to share with churches, mission agencies, Christian schools, etc. throughout the world. Bibles, commentaries, devotional books, teaching materials and Biblically based novels are all welcomed. All that we collect is delivered to a regional distribution center in South Carolina that trucks them to a central collection center and from there sent wherever needed in the world, literally tons of literature. We ask you to look at your scriptural materials and consider sharing what you no longer use on a regular basis with those who need to hear the Word. Bring it to the church narthex on Sunday mornings during April, or the office, clearly marked Love Packages. To offer to sort and package our collection, please contact Sue Baker. Submission deadline - April 29.
Arden Ladies Bible Study: Monday Evenings, 6:30-8:00 p.m. (APC chapel) -OR- Tuesday Mornings, 9:30-11:30 a.m. (Fellowship Room). Habakkuk study guides are available for $10 in the church office, the Welcome Center, and in class. DETAILS HERE.
MISSIONS MOMENT
Keith and Ruth Powlison - MTW Peru
Keith asks prayer for Radio Amauta. There has been a big transition in personnel changes. Juan Quispe, Heber Berrocal ( the main Quechua speaking pastor) and Feliciano Tello are the new core team-members. The project to replace the main transmitter and upgrade the antenna infrastructure continues. Dave Solt, a fellow MTW missionary from Keith’s first days in Quito, Ecuador, worked together with a team of experts to build and ship the new transmitter to Peru. It has been a legal battle to get customs to release it. Please pray for the new staff at the station. Please pray that the new transmitter can make it safely to Huanta and be installed. We are so grateful to those who were able to give to the transmitter project on top of their regular giving. Of the 24k that was requested, we still need about 8k to finish the project in March or April.
