Our Word of the Year

This year isn’t about watching - it’s about witnessing. AWC will truly see and experience the tribes of God’s glory. Simply put: this year is for God. As we observe from the Spirit’s vantage point, we declare, “This is the acceptable year of the Lord,” moving from casual spectators to intentional participants in His redemptive story.

Feel free to modify this plan to best incorporate it into your lifestyle. If for some reason the plan is broken, don’t feel guilty; simply, continue and trust the Lord for the rest.
