A Fresh Look for "theAM"
Notice our new look and format in this edition? Also check out the recently redesigned website and the December issue of the Wave arriving in mailboxes soon.
 "Everybody has a Mission" is our new watchword - we want to invite and encourage members and visitors to discover and live out their life's purpose.
In addition, we've adopted shorthand to refer to the Anglican Mission - "theAM".
Over the years, a number of abbreviations have been used within and outside the Mission, including the "a-mi-a" (pronounced as a word), but we want to focus on mission, and, of course, be easily remembered. Think of it as our trademark which defines us and hopefully will pique curiosity to find out more!

In 2007, he accompanied a mission team from Church of the Apostles in Fairfield, Connecticut, to Rwanda. The experience of seeing children living in poverty motivated his heart to action. Today, through an Eagle Scout project, Aaron is doing his part to build a water harvesting system for Trinity Primary School in the village of Bigogwe, Rwanda.
