EVENTS
Our ministries are always busy with exciting activities! If you see an event you'd like to attend or a way you'd like to get involved, feel free to reach out to us below.
Join AWF Saturday, October 25 at 9AM as we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month with a special presentation by Katlyn Newberry of the Cancer Services Program of the Finger Lakes Region. We'll also hold an open forum for anyone interested in sharing their story. Light refreshments will be served.
Register Sundays after service or at antiochroc@gmail.com. Please contact First Lady Polly Cherry or Sis Pat Proctor for more information.
Trunk or Treat is returning this year! Join us Saturday, Oct 25 from 2–6PM, here at Antioch as we provide a safer alternative for our children. Members of the church and community are encouraged to participate by decorating their cars and/or donating candy and prizes. Best decorated car wins!
Help us fill up the parking lot with as many trunks as possible, and give our kids a night to remember! Contact Sis Daphne Keys to register your car, or for more information.
Digital Disciples is a fun, hands—on class designed to help our members get comfortable with today’s technology. From texting and video calls to online worship and social media, our team of patient, tech—savvy teachers will walk you through each step.
We want to make sure all of our members are prepared and able to participate in our weekly Bible Study as the months get colder and we transition from in—person to online classes. We’ll have more, but the first session on Saturday, Nov 8 at 1PM will be centered around livestreams and navigating social media.
If you are interested in being a part of this class, please let us know! Contact Elder Howell at 585—500—9911 or antiochroc@gmail.com.
