Ministries

Church Family, We're less than a week away from our Vacation Bible School. As a reminder, we have classes for children up through 5th grade. There are also plenty of service opportunities for our middle & high school age students. Here is an overview of the VBS Schedule (June 27-29):

Every Tuesday night a group of men gather together at Mark Keller's house to share their lives, laughter, and love of God's word.  Over the years these simple gatherings have been times of great growth, friendship, help, strength and unity.  God has given men great callings in life and we need good, practice, and encouraging ways to grow strong, moral, and confident men ready for His work.

We are working hard to plan the upcoming Ladies Retreat.  If you are interested in being involved in the planning the next meeting is Sunday, April 11, 2010 @12:15 in the teen classroom.  If you have any questions , the contact person for this group is Bonnie Murrill.

There have been a lot of requests for Chris Swinfords classes.  They are now online in the audio sermons pages. These can be played online or downloaded and burnt to a CD or MP3 player.

It's almost the beginning of April and time to think about who in our church family needs some special encouragement in the next month.  It's been wonderful  having more participation in this ministry, now that the ladies' ministry has been re-organized.  There are some great things happening, all over the place!  A few of you have asked me if we are still planning to meet at our regularly-scheduled times (the first Thursday of the month and the following Sunday).  The answer is "Yes."  I figured that if I rescheduled, it could get confusing and throw things off…

On October 1st & 2nd, 2010, the Anchorage church of Christ will be hosting this year's Men's Retreat. The retreat will again be held at Birchwood Camp  in Chugiak.   The speaker this year will be Sam Jones from Freed-Hardeman Universtiy.  Plan now to attend this time of good Bible study, personal growth, brotherly fellowship.  We need to encourage and grow good events for Christian men.
