Random Quotes: You would do well to pursue your causes with vigor, while remembering that you are a servant of God, not a spokesman for God, and remembering that God might well choose to bless an opposing point of view for reasons that have not yet been revealed to you.  - Barbara Jordan To preach, to really preach, is to die naked a little at a time, and to know each time you do it that you must do it again.  - Bruce Thielemann An ardent supporter of the hometown team should go to a game prepared to take offense, no matter what happens.   - Robert Benchley You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.  - Job 14:15 The Warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought.   - Steps to Christ, p. 27 Not by painful struggles or wearisome toil, not by gift or sacrifice, is righteousness obtained; but it is freely given to every soul who hungers and thirsts to receive it.   - Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, p. 18 None are so sinful that they cannot find strength, purity, and righteousness in Jesus, who died for them.   - Steps to Christ, p. 35 Often our plans fail that God's plans for us may succeed.   - Help in Daily Living, p. 6 God takes men as they are...

Thursday September 14, 2010 The Mission of the Adventist Community Church is to Reach Deep in Discipleship, Reach Out in Evangelism and Reach Up in Worship. More people are getting involved in our evangelistic strategy by scheduling this Community Concert series. It's a concert designed for the community, by the Adventist Community. It's designed not for us - but for them - to invite them to the church for something non-threatening and yet about God in more subtle ways. Plan to come - September 25 @7pm. Business Meeting Tonight Tonight in the Fireside room, we will be having a short business meeting to talk about our progression towards the vision and to approve the fiscal year's budget. The meeting begins at 7pm and we should be done by 8 or a little afterwards.  Bring your questions and ideas and plan to share. This Week's Message This week's message by Roger will be on the Day of Atonement. Sabbath, September 18 is the actual day which the Jewish world will celebrate this day. And as many people went to the Messiah's Mansion in the last couple of weeks, and may want to know ore - come on out for a single message on the Day of Atonement - it's meaning in practical ways for our lives today. FYI - What's Happening TONIGHT! Sept 14 - Church Business Meeting at 7pm in the Fireside Room Sept 13-18 - CAA Week of Prayer Sept. 25 - "Young Artists In Concert" - A Concert for the community - invite a friend! at 7.00 pm. Sept. 25 - Ministry Fest - see oregonconference.org for more info. Sept 27 - Area Pastor's Meeting at the Adventist Community Church 9a-1p Sept 27-Oct 2 - MGAES Week of Prayer Oct 22 - Prophecy Seminar Begins See more of what's happening at the church calendar.

Thursday September 2, 2010 The Mission of the Adventist Community Church is to Reach Deep in Discipleship, Reach Out in Evangelism and Reach Up in Worship. In his book, "The Road Ahead", the late Jere Patzer tells us this: "On Tuesday, October 17, 1989, at 5:04 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, the earth began to shake under the San Francisco Bay area. IN what was then named Candlestick Park, the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants baseball teams were getting ready to begin the World Series. "Suddenly in that great stadium the lights began to flicker. Steel girders holding the upper deck began to sway, and pieces of concrete started crumbling down. A voice over the loud speaker told spectators to leave. But when the initial quake was over, fans began shouting, "Play ball!" "In the Marina district north of Candlestick Park, houses shifted off crumbling foundations, and buildings collapsed. Gas lines exploded, and fire broke out. Across the Bay, in Oakland, a mile long section of Highway 880 fell, crushing rushhour commuters. In the course of one minute thousands of peoples' lives were changed because of something that happened deep inside the earth, and merely shouting "Play ball!" would not change these cataclysmic forces. "No, there must be a strategy. This will involve pain, trial, error, and failure, but the impact can be enormous. "Deciding to change—having a vision—is only half of the battle. We have to develop a workable strategy to take people with us. And that is difficult as we all know." We do have a strategy for getting to the mission of REACHing people with the message of Jesus. Over the next couple of years we want to see: to see 35 new people trained as Community Group leaders - which we believe will translate into 240 people in a Community Group. If you aren't in a group, want to lead a group - then click here. to have at least 350 people involved in one aspect of our Evangelism Process. We believe that will translate into at least 125 people being baptized over the next three years. That process includes things like greeting during seminars, teaching a health class, helping with community car washes, serving at the Community Services Center, etc. If you'd like to get involved in just one aspect of the Evangelism Process - click here. to have at least 300 people involved in personal devotions - which we believe will help grow our average worship service attendance from 400 to 600. If you'd like more information on getting involved in a personal devotional life - click here. You need to get involved - and these three areas allow you to be part of the strategy of growing deeper, growing up and growing out in Christ. Don't miss out on this tremendous time to be part of the team.... Kohl's Cares Did you hear that Mount Ellis did win one of the spots? And they did it with 144,000 votes.... Funny! FYI - What's Happening Sept 8 - Bible Study Team 6:30pm Sept 8 - Elder's Meeting at 6:30pm Sept 10-12 - Young Adult Retreat Sept 14 - Church Business Meeting at 7pm in the Fireside Room Sept 13-18 - CAA Week of Prayer Sept 27 - Area Pastor's Meeting at the Adventist Community Church 9a-1p Sept 27-Oct 2 - MGAES Week of Prayer Oct 22 - Prophecy Seminar Begins See more of what's happening at the church calendar. LIFE Journal What is the LIFE Journal? It's a Bible reading program that takes you through the Old Testament in one year and the New Testament twice in that same year.  It's built around applying God's word to your life after observing what the Bible actually says.  For more information, please see Pastor Roger or go to our website. Community Groups Leading one? Want to join one?  Pastor Jeff or Wayne Blakely have the info you need.  The leaders/facilitators meet on the first Sabbath of each month to talk, learn, strategize, grow and help each other (that's this Sabbath) if you are interested in being a part of this!
