Easter Egg Hunt Huge Success

An evangelically themed Easter egg hunt brought hundreds of children and adults to the ACC campus on Saturday, April 11 at 1 PM. Childrens workers handed out over 430 egg collection bags. The parking lot was entirely full and people were parking all the way to the Minnesota Drive access roads.

The Easter egg "scavenger hunt" was designed by the ACC Children's Ministry Board for fun and to give some simple Gospel messages....and an invitation to celebrate Easter tomorrow at City Church.

Here are some more pictures from the day's fun:

City Church Directory Update

A couple of times each year we print out a roster of church family names and contact information so we can keep in touch with each other. It's that time again!

The way you get into the directory is by filling out of one our Life Information Surveys. The first page is one-per-family. Everyone can fit on it. The second "supplemental information" page is for each adult in the family so we can know more about your life experience, gifts, abilities and interests.

You can find the Life Information Forms at the Information Counter or online here.

If you are already in the directory, no need to fill it out again unless there are family changes (e.g. new family members, changed contact information, etc).

Thanks!!

Join us for Easter on April 12 -- three services

You can find hope again!

These are trying days, full of rising costs, falling stocks, and international uncertainty. The world is so full of grim headlines that it is hard to believe, or even hope, for good news. But at Anchorage City Church we have faith in a bright future that is not dependent on federal bailouts or mutual funds. It's a future founded on something more solid and enduring than governments or finances.

Join us this Easter and find the hope that never fails.

371 in Small Groups and Classes

Hundreds of ACC'ers and others not yet part of our church are taking part in our Small Groups and Classes this winter. ACC Small Group Coordinator Erik Liebenthal recently asked leaders for a count and tallied a total of 371.

That total counts a few people two or even three times, but whether the real number is 371 or 329 or 296, it's clear that many of us are now participating in groups!

Not in a small group yet? There are many to choose from, and most of the groups are still accepting new members. You can find small group catalogs in the foyer on the east wall. Or, you can download it here.

Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday
