oh hello dear brothers and sisters, 

I hope you are having an amazing week so far. The weather might be a little chilly, but i pray your hearts are all on fire for God! <3 This week's Acacia is quite short, but there are some important information! First of.....WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS FRIDAY!! PG will be finishing off our last study of Joyfully Single, the role of men and women II! We will meet in our regular room at 7:30 pm with worship lead by Billy. 

::a couple announcements:: 

church work day! Please come to clean/beautify our church this saturday at 9 am. You don't have to stay for the full duration of the work day (9-12), you will be surprised at how much an hour or two can do! 

Operation Christmas Child: yes!!! Christmas is coming soon!!! Now....CLOSE YOUR EYES!! (yes, I mean it...do it!) now try to remember the best gift you've received, whether it's the super soft bear or a limited edition barbie or a xbox....do you remember how excited you were when you opened that gift? I sure do! And that's why Acacia is packing super awesome gifts in shoeboxes and sending them to a child who might have never received a gift before! I believe seeing the smile on that child's face and use this as an opportunity to share Christ with him/her will trump any gift we receive ourselves. We will have a shoebox packing party next Friday, so please bring shoeboxes, toys, school supplies, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap (nothing sharp or war related please!) by then and let the fund begin! 

Please see below for a video of how to pack a shoe box (i have no idea who that dude is...but look how excited he is about packing the shoe box!!) http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/Pack_A_Shoe_Box/ 

Have a blessed rest of the week and see you on Friday!

Hi Acacians,

This week we'll be having an orange-themed potluck along with some worship, mission sharing (Rob and Brenda will share about their trip to Shanxi, China) and prayer time. Please bring some kind of orange dish which will serve about 6-8 people, it doesn't have to be made out of oranges necessarily since we'll still need some kind of main course dishes like chicken, pumpkin soup, macaroni and cheese as well... *drool*....

Here are the details:

What: Bring an orange-themed dish!
When: Friday, 10/28 @ 6:30 PM
Where: DCCC Upstairs

And here are our announcements for the week:
  • VetMerge (the organization that Lisa and George went on a mission trip with,) will be sponsoring a dinner that will showcase some of their veterinary mission trips for all who are interested. There is a flyer attached to this email for those who would like more details.
  • DCCC will be having kitchen training this Sunday (10/30) at 12:45PM which is mandatory for all who would like to use or reserve the kitchen for various activities. I strongly recommend that you attend this if you are interested at all in helping out with any cooking-related activities that our fellowship participates in.

Hope to see you all this Friday, have a great week!

Acacia Weekly Digest - Oct 17-21 10/20/2011
 

hello everyone!
 
How are you all doing? Awesome I hope! sooo...this song has been stuck in my head ever since it came out a couple months ago, and esp for the past two days. The song is called do everything by Steven Curtis Chapman (he's actually coming to Sac on Nov 1st for a concert, let me know if you are interested!). And my favorite part of the lyrics is
Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause He made you
To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace with every move that you make
And every little thing that you do

doesn't that just sum up how we should live our Christian life in 5 simple sentences? I don't know about you, but I get bored very easily and i often go into deep thinking mode pondering if the things i do really matter AT ALL and it really bugs me when i think they don't....BUT...why does that even matter?! because as long as EVERYTHING we do is for the GLORY of GOD, as long as what we do put a smile on HIS face, the tiniest thing we do have an ETERNAL impact! So next time you feel sick about your job/school/doing laundry, do it for the glory of the One who made you! =)

Move onto the agenda items of this week:

We are wrapping up our studies on Joyfully Single very soon, so make sure you come out and hear about the last two! Our wonderful advisor Lily will be sharing with us about  COURTSHIP. Please join us for worship at 7:30 pm in room 224.

Annual DCCC Sock drive: Our church is still collecting socks for GIA, please bring them on Friday or Sunday and drop them in the giant blue plastic bin filled with socks in the foyer.

Prayer Meeting: Our church has an all church prayer meeting on Tuesday nights at 7:30 pm. Please come and find out how you can pray for the church, different fellowship, brothers & sisters and the missionaries we support.

See you all on Friday!

Acacia Weekly Digest 09/29/2011
 
hello Acacians, 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far! If not, I'm sorry to hear that, but chin up! cuz this week is almost over! I heard the following statement in small group tonight and would like to share with you. "Whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, I just take a step back"  More often than not we focus on the problems at hand and can't take a step back to re-group and focus our attention on God. But He is ALWAYS there! Isn't it reassuring to know that our struggles will never be too hard for Him to handle?! That's what I'd like to call AWESOME right there!

Alritey, onto our agenda for this week! Mr. George Hu will continue to lead us on our study of Joyfully Single this week! The topic is "OPE - Other People's Expectations" 

time: 7:30 pm 
place: We will be joining Compass for worship in the main sanctuary first and moving up to 205 

other announcements:
  • Acacia is making church lunch this Sunday! If you can help prep, please contact Jack. I believe they are planning to cook on Saturday from 10-1ish. And we are also looking for servers on Sunday, if you can help, you are excused from leaving Sunday School early (this is the twice in a life time...well more like a year chance you can do so), please come to kitchen around 11:30am.
  • Joint pot luck with EFG this Sunday at 5:30 pm. Meilin and Johan will be sharing about their upcoming missions journey with Samaritan's purse. Please bring a main dish/appetizer/desert/drinks to share~
  • There's a sound training at 1pm on Oct 1st at church, if you are interested in serving in this area, please come
  • our annual church picnic is next Sunday (Oct 9). Church picnic is my favorite all church event every year, it's amazing to see all three congregations get together to just chill in the sun! there will be hot dogs, burgers, cold noodles, watermelons and lots of cookies! Feel free to invite your friends!
  • Acacia will start collecting offering starting Next Friday (Oct 7th). If you have any questions, please contact me, rob or brenda.
