The delighted smiles...the memorable Bible points...they all add up to making a life-long difference in the lives of your children! Children will embrace Operation Kid-2-Kid and dive into Daily Challenges. Your children won't just learn God's Word--they'll live it.

Sign your children up in the lobby on Sunday mornings after each church service; or by calling 344-2141 and ask for Lindy. Volunteers are needed for this as well. There will be a family lunch and presentation on the last day of VBS at noon.

Everyone is encouraged to come out for ACC's annual Family Camp at the Alaska Christian Retreat Center near Soldotna. Participate in children and family games, board and sporting games. The camp provides a volleyball arena and softball field and lakefront for many water activities (although no motor vehicles are allowed in the water).

We will begin the first night with a fun potluck dessert time around the campfire. So, make sure to bring your favorite dessert to share. Great sharing desserts are fixings for Smores, doughnuts, cookies, etc. We will also have a community potluck/brunch on Sunday morning which is appropriately titled "Cooler Clean-out Potluck". So, bring enough food for your family to eat for breakfasts, lunches and dinners and a little extra for the potluck times.

Who knew Bible study and worship could be so much fun!
Beth Moore’s life-transforming Bible study challenges and inspires women of every age, everywhere.
Beth's focus will be on the Scripture that God lays on her heart for each individual Living Proof Live event — no two are the same. As she explores the Bible and how it applies to real life, you'll be amazed by her own experiences as a believer, and you'll be inspired to magnify and strengthen your own relationship with God.

Beth's mission is to guide women everywhere into a richer, more fulfilling relationship with the Father. She is a woman of purpose, preparation, prayer and passion. It's apparent in everything she does, from teaching Sunday School at her home church to sharing her biblical insights and observations in her Bible studies and books.

Joining Beth at this weekend event is acclaimed worship leader Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team.

Bring your friends and we’ll see you at Living Proof Live — a fun-filled Bible study, teaching, and worship experience to enrich your mind, soul, and spirit!

This study is the result of Marie Power's personal encounter with her own feelings of false shame.
