So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. - Galatians 5:16-18
Here are the in-person and online events we have planned for the next 7 days (through next Tuesday)...
Wednesday, 10/13 @ 7pm - 8pm: Prayer Meeting - IN-PERSON and ZOOM
Option #1 IN-PERSON
We'll begin with short prayers following the ACTS method (Adoration of God, Confessing our sins, Thanksgiving to God, Supplication - requests). Following our time of prayer, we'll reflect on Matthew 28:18-20 and the recent reports of what God is doing in Spain.

Meeting ID: 894 1577 0963 Passcode: 213204
Sunday, 10/17 @ 9am - 9:45am: Sunday School - IN-PERSON only
Youth classes are available for: Pre-K, Grades K-2, Grades 1-5, and Grades 6-12.
In the adult class, Jeff Price, who serves with the C&MA as a U.S. Army chaplain in our district, will begin a 4-week series on "The supremacy and authority of Scripture." Here's a brief description of what he'll be teaching: "We live in a culture that shrouds itself with hidden agendas. News outlets, celebrities, neighbors, family members, politicians, the sciences, even church tradition tell us what to think yet often fail to teach us how to think; they tell us that one must accept everyone's truth in the name of equality and basic decency. Christians believe that the Bible is the ultimate source for truth in our lives, but how does it stand against culture's demand for subjectivity?"
Sunday, 10/17 @ 10am - 11:15am: Worship Service - IN-PERSON and YouTube
This service will also be livestreamed on the ACC YouTube channel: www.youtube.com (ACC channel) starting around 9:50am.
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. - Colossians 3:16
We'll gather to worship the God who redeemed us through His Son and dwells within us by His Spirit. For those who participated in the challenge to "meet with the Lord in the garden" last month, you'll have an opportunity to briefly share what the Spirit spoke to you. And for the sermon, I'll attempt for a second time to tackle the familiar passage, Galatians 5:16-26. This is Paul's famous description of the "acts of the flesh" vs "the fruit of the Spirit." We'll explore what it means to "walk by the Spirit" as believers in Christ.
Monday, 10/18 @ 7:30pm - 8:15pm: Prayer Meeting - ZOOM only
Please bring a scripture and prayer request to share.

Tuesday, 10/19 @ 9am - 10am: Alliance Men - IN-PERSON only
Jeff Price, who serves with the C&MA as a U.S. Army chaplain in our district, will begin a 4-week series on "Discipleship." Here's a brief description of what we'll be exploring: "Christ chose a group of men before beginning his public upon whom most would be pivotal to the church’s formulation. The apostles later trained their own disciples similarly to how Christ trained them. Their influence on the church would only grow further. What is discipleship, and what would the church look like today if we brought it back?"
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. - Galatians 5:22-25
in Christ,
Pastor Lance
