Verse of the Month
John 20:31

But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
Welcome Home!

Pastor John Douglas
That may sound like a strange greeting to those of you who visit us for the first time, but it's the greeting we warmly offer. We believe God made all of us to be a part of his family. So, when we get together, we're coming home, glad to see each other, ready to celebrate the warm heroics of our Father.

You're a part of us and we're a part of you because of our Father. When you walk through the doors at ACC, expect to be received like a brother or sister who is coming home!

Perspectives Course to start in January '09

The World Christian Movement has exploded over the past few decades. More has been accomplished toward world evangelization in the past 40 years than in the previous 2,000, and more will be accomplished in the next five years than the past 30! How has this happened? What IS God’s plan, today? How is God WORKING the plan here at home and abroad? How do YOU fit into the design?

 These provocative questions and more are explored in this 15-week, three-unit college course called “Perspectives”. Over 150 churches throughout the country will be sponsoring the “Perspectives” program in the first quarter of 2009, and Anacortes Christian Church is proud to be one of them. Our “Perspectives” course will run January 12th – May 4th. Classes will be held on Monday nights, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room of ACC. “Perspectives” will explore how God has molded the World Christian Movement over the past 200 years as well as explore what God is getting done right now! The information is designed to help us all gain ground in our outreach efforts by learning from the successes of others! Numerous testimonies praise the course as “life changing.” Many say that just a few “Perspectives” graduates can ignite excitement throughout an entire congregation. Scott Wesley Brown, a well-known Christian recording artist and founder of I CARE Ministries, says: “It’s difficult to run the race unless you know where to go. For many Christians, Christianity is like a puzzle spilled on the floor. “Perspectives” puts it all together by showing us the box top….It not only changed my music and ministry, but the way I live”

Each Monday night session will feature a different speaker to present the course material in an insightful manner. Class time will be informative and interactive, with each speaker bringing a fresh approach to their subject matter. Speakers will arrive from across the country and from our own backyard. We’re still confirming speakers, but those on the short list include: Graham Kerr (of Galloping Gourmet fame); Dr. Don McCurry of “Ministry to Muslims” of Colorado Springs, Co.; Lynne Ellis of Overlake Church, Seattle; Keith Hook of “Missions of Unreached Peoples” of Mulkiteo; Dr. Ralph Winters, founder of the U.S. Center for World Missions; and, our own John Douglas.

Go to the Perspective website for course information and registrations, www.perspectives.org The cost of the course is $250 and will cover the expense of the speakers, books and class materials. Early registration discount of $25.00 available for those who register before Dec. 15. Scholarships are available. Registration is NOW being accepted.

Ambassadors in Sports (AIS) Soccer Camp is July 14-19 ’09

Last month we told you about this unique opportunity that ACC is hosting in lieu of our usual summertime VBS programming. AIS Soccer Camps are designed to give young, developing players an opportunity to learn basic and advanced soccer skills in a fun, positive and encouraging Christian environment. In addition to excellent coaching, AIS provides a daily life-related “Team Talk” geared toward communicating the life-changing principles found in the Bible. The camp’s philosophy is stated thus:

“Health and fitness are not just physical, but emotional and spiritual as well. Our camp is a Christian soccer camp and students each day will have the opportunity to learn from examples and stories from the Bible that can be applied to every day life. It is our desire that children are equipped to do their best in their soccer and to understand what it means to be a winner both on and off the field.”

If you are interested in helping us with this great event, please contact Reiko Nystrom at: (360) 293-5735 - lrnystrom@msn.com or Don Wenke at: (360) 840-9742 - dnkwenke@comcast.net. Registration forms will soon be available at our website: www.accweb.net (early registration discounts).
