Nursery

Erin Lynn Gray is looking to recruit a group of people to serve the youngest members of our church family in the nursery. If you are looking for a fun and easy way to get involved in the church, look no further. Volunteering in the nursery is also a great way to meet people, especially those who have young children.

Nursery workers serve once a month for a period of 6 months (Jan-Jun). If you would like to be a part of the team, please contact Erin Lynn Gray via email: maclaney@gmail.com or by phone: 336-4729.

ACC/Beacon Hill Service Opportunities

With the launching of Beacon Hill, ACC is starting the process of collecting the supplies and materials needed for a housing project. In order to accommodate the incoming items, Eugene Black will be leading a cleaning party to reorganize one our church storage units. The group will be meeting in the rear of the church building on Monday evening, October 26th at 6pm. If you have any questions for Eugene, please call him at 444-3888.

Pastor Aaron is putting together a service prep team for our Sunday services. This team would be in charge of stage set-up for the weekend's worship band (equipment, microphone placement, etc.), preparation of the service playlist on the computer, and other various preparations. Individuals or groups would meet at the church on Friday afternoons (occasionally on Saturday) to get the stage and soundbooth ready for the worship services. If you are interested or would like to learn more about this opportunity, please email Aaron at aaron@accchurch.org

Men's Ministry at ACC, Fall Opportunities

Men's ministry at ACC is in full swing for the fall! Just this last weekend, over 40 men gathered together at Laverne Griffin Camp in the Wasilla for an amazing time of deepening personal connections, sharing struggles,and praying for each other (as well as having fun!).

If you're a guy at ACC and you're looking to connect with God and with other guys, you are invited to join with the men on Wednesday mornings at 6am for the Men's Prayer Breakfast. Also, on Wednesday night, October 21st, we kick off the our Men's bible study series "The Quest for Authentic Manhood". It's a well developed study that deals with issues men face and is a balance of teaching, small group discussions, and prayer. If you're not connected, or are looking for a Bible study with other guys, this is a very good thing to consider. We'll be in room 207 from 7-9. Contact Jim Lamson for more information: jimlamson@yahoo.com

This regular prayer meeting will start that evening at the Anchorage City Church 100th Ave. location, from 6:30pm until 8pm. The meeting will normally be in the upstairs Prayer Room. The Monday night group will have a focus of praying for the needs of the local church, its leaders and ministries. The meeting is open to anyone that wants to come and pray, and is led by ACC Prayer Ministry leader Lorraine O'Neal.

Alaska Intercessory Ministry, led by Pastor Paula Gray, continues on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Crossroads Assembly of God Church on DeBarr Road. The Tuesday night group is Harp and Bowl style with musicians, praying and singing the Word. The meeting is open to people from all churches.

Beacon Hill Project Launches to Serve Anchorage Single Moms

The Beacon Hill project launched this week to serve Anchorage homeless single moms without housing. In a series of God-inspired moves, a benefactor made property with two large homes available at reduced cost to care for homeless and disadvantaged people in the community. KTUU Channel 2 in Anchorage covered this story on October 10, 2009.

The goals of the Beacon Hill project are to:

• To provide safe, affordable housing for 4 homeless single mothers and their children
  (up to 32 beds) while they are stepping up from their current situation and
  stepping into self sufficiency.
• To provide or connect necessary support services.
• Most of all, to model and share the Good News, a life-transforming message of life and hope.

Listen to Charity Carmody, one of the project organizers, as she describes how it will work and how people in the City Church family can help make this possible. For more information on the project, or to volunteer or provide financial support, please visit the Beacon Hill website.

Divorce Care

DivorceCare has thirteen weeks of dynamic video seminars featuring 32 renowned experts on divorce and recovering. Some topics covered are: Facing my Anger, Forgiveness and What's Happening to me? The 13 week series will start Wednesday October 21 from 6:30-9:00pm, the cost is $20.

DivorceCare helps you recover from the pain of separation and divorce. There aren't many people around you who understand the pain your separation or divorce has caused you. That's the reason for DivorceCare. It's a special weekly support group and seminar conducted by people who understand what you are experiencing. Most importantly, you'll learn how to deal with the pain of the past and look forward to rebuilding your life.

At DivorceCare, you will become part of a small group of people who are also experiencing separation and divorce. You'll meet others who understand wha you are feeling and who will be able to offer you encouragement. You'll have a chance to talk about the information presented during the DivorceCare seminar and hear what others think and feel.
