Quest Get-Together: More Details!

Just a reminder of our Quest social being held right after the Discover Group hour this Sunday, 1/28. We'll head over to Scott & Marian's home (2509 Avenue N, Austin, TX, 78727) for some pizza, fun & games, and banana splits. Yumm!

The get-together will run from 12:30-3:30pm so that you can back to campus by 4pm. If you'd like to come, please check with your usual driver to see if they'll be coming too. If your driver is not coming to the party, then please let us know as soon as possible (acc_quest@yahoo.com), and we'll make alternate arrangements for you.

Hope you and your friends can make it!

Notes on QuestDG Session #1 (1/21)

This past Sunday we heard Phillip Yancey, author of What's So Amazing About Grace?, explain: "I wrote this book because grace is not the first word that comes to mind when people think of Christians." We talked about what grace is and looked at John 8:1-11 to see how Jesus demonstrated grace. Some questions to think about this week:

• When have I experienced grace, or the opposite of grace, in my life?
• Who has modeled a grace-filled life for me?
• To whom do I need to extend more grace?

Join us next week as we consider the extravagant grace of God and the people who need to experience it.

First Get-Together This Semester

Next Sunday, 1/28, after the Quest Discovery Group hour, we'll have our first get-together for the spring semester. The details are still being firmed-up, but it will include such yummy things as pizza and banana splits! We'll take care of transportation and will make sure to get you back to campus no later than 4pm.

This will be a great time to invite your friends who might be interested in finding out more about ACC and Quest. It'll also be a good opportunity to catch up with each other. And, of course, the food and drinks will be on us. :-)

More details to come...

What's So Amazing About Grace?

In "What’s So Amazing About Grace?" award-winning author Philip Yancey explores grace at street level. If grace is God’s love for the undeserving, he asks, then what does it look like in action? And if Christians are its sole dispensers, then how are we doing at lavishing grace on a world that knows far more of cruelty and unforgiveness than it does of mercy?

This study should give us both the Biblical understanding of grace and the platform to turn that understanding/appreciation into action as grace-givers. Along with the book and participant's guide comes a 10-week video series that has interviews relating to that week's particular study on grace. Tina Tsuei and Andy Lee will co-teach this semester and will supplement the study with group opportunites to put these concepts of grace into practice.

Longhorn Families

If you'd like a home-away-from-home, the opportunity to interact with ACC families, and the chance to eat some good food, we'd love to invite you to be a part of our Longhorn Family ministry. This ministry has a wonderful history of developing some long-lasting friendships between the students and their Longhorn Family members that continue long after graduation.

We'll begin the process of assigning interested students to their families in mid-February, so please email us as soon as possible if you are interested in being adopted into a family or have any questions about this ministry. You can contact us at: acc_quest@yahoo.com.

Mentoring/Discipleship Opportunities

We are coming alongside AACM and EPIC to provide opportunities to be mentored and/or discipled by an older adult from our English Congregation. This is especially targeted towards upperclassmen who are interested in what the next phase of life holds and how to approach it with a Godly perspective. This is also valuable for those who aren't currently involved in an on-campus Christian organization and would like to be mentored/discipled.

If you are interested in this or would like more information, please contact us at: acc_quest@yahoo.com.
