2015 Wrap Up and Important 2016 News

Hey Friends, are you ready for 2016! Ready or not here it comes!

It’s been a great year at ACF. God has taught us so much and has been faithful and generous to us.

As we look forward to the coming year, here are some thoughts I want to leave you with:

Christmas Eve . For the first time in ACF’s history I won’t be preaching at a Christmas Eve service! Each ACF community is making their own plans for Christmas Eve and each CP will be leading their respective services. That means that Darril will be teaching all four services this year at Four Points. It also means that I’ll be attending church with my family at ACF|northwest. I can’t wait! If you’re in town, be sure to celebrate the arrival of our Savior on Christmas Eve at your ACF Community.  (Please note:  There will be no weekend services at ACF communities on December 26th or 27th!)
2016 Resolutions . As you think about the changes you want to make in the coming year, will you add these to your list? Commit to attend ACF services regularly (3-4 times a month)

Commit to serving and participating in a small group at ACF

Commit to giving 10% or more of your monthly income to ACF

Commit to praying daily for your ACF Community, for your Community Pastor and for ACF as a whole body
January 30/31 Serve Our City . Our next SOC weekend is the end of January. Mark your calendars and look for opportunities to sign up soon.
An important change in 2016 . As you know, we give away 50% of all receipts to ministries in Austin, the U.S. and around the world. ACF has long supported adoption and orphan-care ministries. While on my sabbatical, I felt led that we needed to do more. Beginning in 2016, we will partner with two pro-life ministries:  Heartbeat International and Life Legal Defense Group. Both of these organizations approach the pro-life issue from the legislative and judicial side. As we get to know these organizations, we will provide opportunities for you to serve with them. Please pray for these organizations as they work to defend the unborn and pray for ACF…that we will be equipped to generously support their work.
And finally: Coming in February…the book you’ve always wanted for your spiritually curious friends and family. Stay tuned for more information!
