2016 Preview

Hello Friends, are you ready for the new year?

Here are some things to look forward to as we start 2016 together:

 

In the Beginning

We’ll spend the first several weeks of 2016 in the first three chapters of Genesis. Every aspect of life as we know it is affected by the events in those three chapters. Here’s the schedule:

Jan 2/3–The Beginning of Life

Jan 9/10–The Beginning of Us (Family Worship Weekend)

Jan 16/17–The Beginning of Temptation

Jan 23/24–The Beginning of “Normal”

Jan 30/31–Serve Our City Weekend

Feb 6/7–The Beginning of Grace

Feb 13/14– The Beginning of Marriage (Family Worship Weekend)

 

Looking Out

Part of our 2016 emphasis includes a focused effort on reaching more of our friends and neighbors who don’t currently have relationships with Christ. Will you increase your prayer efforts for those in your family who don’t know Jesus? God will honor our prayers.

 

Reaching Out

Part of our effort to reach our friends and neighbors with Jesus’ message is a teaching series and small group study called A Man Who Told Us the Truth. The series begins the weekend of February 27/28 at all ACF communities. The series will correspond with the release of my new book by the same title.

This is a great opportunity for us to create conversation with our spiritually curious friends and family. Please start praying today about what friends and loved one you can reach out to during the A Man Who Told Us the Truth series.

 

 

Prayer and Fasting

We gained significant momentum during our forty-day season of fasting and prayer. We’d be wise to keep fueling that momentum. Would you consider:

Fasting one day a week
Praying daily for your unbelieving friends and family to be saved
Praying weekly for the president and our state and local leaders
Praying daily for your ACF leaders, including your small group leader
Praying daily for God to bring true spiritual awakening to Austin
Praying weekly for financial provision for our church
Praying at least one hour a week with other believers

 

Missions, Giving and Serving

Serving and investing in others continues to be a major part of ACF’s DNA. We have seventeen international trips scheduled for 2016!

You need to be on one of them, especially if you’re an ACF leader.

Beyond that, we have dozens more local serving opportunities along with our fifth Sunday Serve Our City serving days.

Our first SOC weekend is January 30/31. Contact Chelsea@acfellowship.org or watch the ACF web site for more information.

See you soon!
