Centennial Celebration!
Anacortes Christian Church is reaching near and far and inviting former members and ministers to come and share in a special time of celebrating 100 years of service to Anacortes and beyond. Many lives have been impacted by the contributions of those who have participated in our history. We want to invite all to come […]
“I Don’t Know How to Talk to People about Jesus.”
“I don’t know how to talk to people about Jesus.” Ever felt that way? I sat over lunch with a member of our congregation who told me that in his long years as a Christian, he felt inadequate in his ability to actually talk about his faith. “How many opportunities have I blown?” He pondered […]
Pictures from 4th of July Parade
Anacortes Christian Church is 100 years old this year! As part of our centennial celebration, we decided to have a float in the parade. Here are a few pics.
Easter Egg Hunt Photos
We had a great turn out for the Easter Egg hunt at the tree farm! Lots of kids hunting for lots of eggs. Prizes were given out for specific “sparkly” eggs found, and these prizes included bags with 100 unique items in them, to mark our centennial celebration. In addition to eggs, the kids found […]
Adopting New Staff; Adapting New Ideas
Well, not to be misleading, but the ideas mentioned in the title are actually not new at all. What is new, however, is the intentionality with which the elders and leaders of Anacortes Christian Church are approaching the way ministry is conducted in general. If you’ve frequented ACC at all in the last ten years, […]
I Don’t Like Urgent Things
I don’t like urgent things. I like it when everything fits into my schedule and stays quiet and out of the way until I want to focus on it (which means never!). The brakes on my car annoyed me a couple of weeks ago–they became urgent. I thought that squeaking noise was simply some stubborn […]
Rethinking Christmas
The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists. And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents […]
When We All Come Together
Many of the Pastors in Anacortes are coming together once again to plan a community-wide event that will serve to bless our community and commemorate the ten year anniversary of 9/11. The plan is to have volunteers from many churches rally together and engage in service projects throughout Anacortes. In this way, we hope to […]
“Jericho Walk” Day 1
In the past weeks of ACC’s “God’s Redemptive Story” series, a common theme has jumped out at us: Giants in the land. God told the Israelites, “I’ve given you this land…” But when the people saw the fortified cities and the giants, they were afraid – afraid enough to question God. 40 years later, God […]
Engaging with God’s Story
“Story” is a buzz-word in today’s culture. Why? I’m sure there are a number of reasons, but chief among them is the fact that for the most part, any claim to knowing truth is met with skepticism and distrust. In the past, a preacher could communicate truth from the pulpit and expect it to be […]
