New Policy For Processing Donations

As of July 1, 2010, ACC is no longer processing donations for partner ministries (i.e. Beacon Hill, New Direction Resource Center, Live Free Ministries, etc.). Please write all checks out to the ministry name and either drop them in our offering receptacles (we will forward them for you); mail them directly to the ministry; or visit their websites and donate online. Thanks for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please call the church office if you have any questions, 344-2141.

New Direction Resource Center

New Direction Resource Center is looking for donations of services and items for the Fall Fundraising Auction. All proceeds from the auction go directly to support operating costs for the high school completion outreach housed at Anchorage City Church. The auction proceeds are a vital part of the New Direction annual budget.

Used items are welcome if in excellent condition. Some suggestions are jewelry, art, household items, furniture, gift baskets, gift certificates to businesses and almost anything. It is also a great idea to purchase items on clearance or great deals at stores and donate them to the auction.

AK International House of Prayer Monday Evenings @ ACC

The Alaska International House of Prayer (IHOP) is now established and meeting in the Anchorage City Church auditorium on Monday nights from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Currently IHOP is holding a weekly two hour prayer meeting with the intention to expand hours in the future. The meeting is open to all believers and all denominations. Child care is available on Mondays from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

The vision for the House of Prayer is to gather God's people together as one church to pray and seek the Lord that the fullness of His power and purposes will be released in the earth. We desire to work with the unified Body of Christ to serve the great commission as we seek to walk out the two great commandments to love God and love people.

For more information contact Sherry Laurie or Paula Gray via the ACC church office (344-2141).

Church Camp!

July 30 through August 1 --- Plan on enjoying the great Alaskan summer with your church family at Laverne Griffin Camp near Wasilla. There is a nice lake with a swimming beach, canoes, a playground and plenty of recreational facilities. In the evenings we can gather round the fire pit, roast marshmallows and sing songs. It will be a good time for kids and adults alike. You will be responsible for your own food, but a large kitchen will be available. Cabins are also available to rent, or you can bring your own camper or tent. The cost is very reasonable either way.

This year’s church camp will be a very casual affair with a few organized activities for the kids, but otherwise plenty of time for fellowship and just hanging around talking and playing games. This is a great way to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones. We hope to see you there.
To Register call 344-2141 and speak to A.Z. or register Sunday in the lobby at the Church Camp table.
