Involvement Opportunities There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with ABS. Sign up to cook a meal, lead a lesson, or evangelize the world. From mission trips to small acts of service, ABS has plenty of opportunities for you to make a difference. Weekly Praise Tuesdays @ 7:00pm The Hedge The ABS Praise Band is seeking new people to help fill out the old band, but better still to develop a second band to rotate Tuesday worship meetings to share the load. Also there are always needs in setup and clean up crews. Send us an email to find available spots. Diakonos Crew are those quiet servants who prefer to help with their hands and feet. They will be setting up tables and chairs before The Hedge or cleaning up trash and leftovers afterward. We love these people because ABS cannot happen without them. Talk to Brad or Warren to join the team. Small Group Bible Studies We are open to people wanting to lead, teach, or coordinate a small group.

And the Veteran’s Home needs people to show Christ’s love to lonely people. What is your passion? Mission Trips Missions is something we try to do all the time, right here where we live. This summer though we want to take our evangelism and servanthood with us. Chicagoland, IL – Spring Break 09.
