Adventist Christian Fellowship T-SHIRTS!

I am pleased to announce we are now taking orders for Adventist Christian Fellowship t-shirts! Here is a digital mock-up of what the final t-shirt will look like:



On the front is the ACF logo on the left breast, where the "C" and "Christian" are in Aggie-blood maroon. On the back is a picture of Jesus framed by the words "All you need is love. 1st John 4:16" and "Adventist Christian Fellowship". The verse referenced is not written out on the shirt, but says, "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."

Send your sizes and quantities to Secret Agent Chel Chel at blumandolin@yahoo.com.

The Grace of God in 2007

God has again let His face shine upon us in this last year. He has brought us unscathed through another trying semester, has blessed our community with a new life, Ian Edward Gregory Haye, and has brought our friend Chelsea out of the clutches of death and safely home.

We have a few things to look forward to this coming semester. Our Thursday night Bible study will change its format. A brand new pastor, Pastor Gio Marin, will be coming to Bryan/College Station. His first sermon is on January 12! Don't miss it! We also have several ideas for fun events this semester. Come to our first official ACF meeting on January 18th to find out all about them.

College Station Young Adult Event

Friday Evening, October 12th: The event kicks off with Café Renewal at 8pm at the Bryan/College Station Seventh-day Adventist Church. This evening will be one of friends, fellowship, music by Elia King as well as Standing Amazed, and the renewal of God's grace and love. Pastor Lane Campbell will also give us a message. Light refreshments served.

Sabbath Morning, October 13th: Sabbath School begins at 9:15am, with the Worship Service following at 11am. Pastor Bill Cork will speak. Fellowship dinner will be provided by the Bryan/College Station Seventh-day Adventist Church. We will then head to a local park for some fun and fellowship in the great outdoors. In the evening, vespers begins at 6:30pm back at the church. Pastor Cork will give a message. Afterward, we will all go bowling! (At least that's the tentative plan.)

We are expecting people from all over, including people from UT Arlington and the Houston area. Why don't you come, too? For housing information, contact Robert Jacobson: (432) 432-3994.

This week is a doosey!

So much is happening! Tomorrow (Sunday, September 2) we will have a booth on the second floor of the MSC from 1pm to 6pm, so stop on by. Also, on Wednesday (Sept. 5) at 7:30pm at the church we will have an icecream game night. On Thursday (Sept. 6) at 7:30pm we will begin a Bible study on campus at a location to be announced. Finally, this coming Friday we will have our usuall food and fun.

Oh, and don't forget our big event in October on the 12th and 13th when somewhere near 40 young adults will descend upon our church for a special vespers and church service!

School Is Beginning! Here's What's Coming...

School is upon us. Here's what we're doing about it:

• We have some kind of booth at the MSC! Stop by to get the scoop on our organization.
• August 24th is the Friday right before class begins (on Monday). If you are going to be in town this evening, why not introduce yourself to us? We will be having food and fellowship at 6:30ish at somewhere other than Robert's apartment. Contact us for a ride and/or directions.
• August 31st is the first Friday after school starts. We'll meet for food and fun, same as above. Don't be shy.
• October 12 and 13 is a Friday and Saturday. The Bryan/College Station young adults are hosting a Young Adult EVENT! ACF groups and young adults are coming from far and wide (Houston, Arlington, everywhere!) to fellowship with us. Friday evening Pastor Lane Campbell will be with us, and Sabbath the young adults are taking over the church service, with Pastor Bill Cork preaching. Fun stuff will follow. More info coming soon.

Summer Bible Study Begins
