Sunday, 4/15, Joint Baptism Service

Though we didn't have the opportunity to continue in our study of grace, we did have the opportunity to join together with the others at our church to celebrate and witness the baptisms of various members of ACC ranging from children up to parents. It was wonderful hearing their testimonies and sharing this joyful experience with them, their families, and friends.

Easter Sunday, 4/8, QuestDG Recap

Though we had a smaller group, it was fun getting to eat great food and fellowshipping with the rest of the ACC English Congregations after the Easter worship service (good skit too, eh?). I also appreciated the sharing that we had about Kevin's experiences from the New Orleans missions trip he took over Spring Break. Cool to hear how God's grace was shown both to him and through him (and the rest of his team).

Also, we had the opportunity to hear from those who went to serve at Church Under the Bridge with the Bags of Grace of ministry the previous Sunday. Sounds like this time really touched those who participated. Thanks to Abba for allowing us to interact with and serve those for whom His heart so longs. Oh may our hearts be turned even more towards them as well.

Good Friday & Easter Sunday

Here's a quick reminder of this weekend's special events:

1. ACC's Good Friday Service will be this Friday, 4/6, from 7:30-8:30pm in Taylor Hall (the gym). There will be some important time of reflection as we remember Jesus' death on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins.

2. Our Sunday's Easter Service will be held at the same time and place as our regular worship services (in John Sung starting at 9:30am). Afterwards there will be an extended time for fellowship and food. This will be a great opportunity to invite our friends who may not usually attend a church.

3. Our QuestDG will meet for a shortened session after the fellowship and food time (11:30am-12:15pm) in our regular meeting place in the West Hall of the Morrison building. We'll have some special time of sharing to hear how God has been using Quest members to share God's grace with others. In addition, Tina will give us an introduction to Session #7 "Grace Abuse: Cheapening Grace and Robbing Its Power".

Hope to see you there!

Church Under the Bridge & Bags of Grace

It was great being able to serve alongside the Bags of Grace crew this past Sunday to minister to the Church Under the Bridge attendees by serving them, having meaningful conversations with them, and praying with them. There were 16 of us from Quest able to help out by extending grace. I can't wait until the next opportunity to do this again!
