Ministries

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.

The Men's Retreat takes place October 3-4 at Birchwood Camp. The theme for the weekend is "Friendship Evangelism" featuring guest speaker Jack English from Fayetteville, Arkansas. The cost for the weekend is only $10. You must register by  September 28. Complete details are available in the registration form. Men of all ages, including young men 9th grade and up, are encouraged to attend this fun-filled, spiritually-minded weekend. For those that choose to spend the night, the camp features heated cabins furnished with beds. Hot showers are also available.

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.

  Ladies mark your calendars and schedule your babysitters for October 23rd-24th.  The 2009 Valley Ladies’ Retreat is coming up.  Our theme for this year is “Privileged to be Chosen”, and we are blessed to have Laura Boswell from Fairbanks coming as our guest speaker.  Our retreat this year is going to be held at the Birchwood Camp.  So, get ready for a weekend of growth, fellowship, and fun.  Hope to see you there!

Another year and another successful ladies’ retreat.  We were blessed to be able to spend the weekend at the beautiful Meier Lake Conference Center once again.  We were also blessed to have Kim Binkley return as our guest speaker this year.  Each year we we walk away from these retreats having grown and so encouraged.  We would like to add a huge thank you to everyone who works so hard to make this possible.
