At Acacia Park, we invite you to . . .
CONNECT with others as part of a community that strives to practice forgiveness, grace, and genuine hospitality;
WONDER with us at the mystery that is God, a mystery to be experienced rather than solved;
CELEBRATE with us, giving thanks for God’s blessings to us and presence in us;
SHARE your gifts and passions to care for others in the community; share your burdens and experience the healing love of Christ.

Soup Lunch and Bingo Fundraiser
Our Soup Lunch and Bingo Fundraiser on October 21st helped kick off our Raise the Roof and Open the Doors Capital Campaign as well as our 90th Anniversary celebration. The church hall was full with friends and family, and everyone was treated to a delicious lunch of seven different kinds of soup, salad, bread, desserts and drinks. We raised close to $2,000 towards replacing the church roof and front doors, and fixing some water issues in the basement. Thank you so much to everyone who worked on, attended and donated to this very special event.
