Revival in the Bible Conference is Scheduled for October 13,14, 15, 2009,

Heart Relationship with Our Savior

7:00 PM, at First American Baptist Church corner of Latouch & Northern Lights, Anchorage, Alaska.  Everyone is cordially invited to this "walk through the Bible" with Dr. Frank Fenby from Florida.  Brother Frank is chief instructor with the Alaska Bible Seminary in Bethel, Alaska.

The two hour gathering at First American Baptist Church will be an informal gathering with finger foods and drinks available.  The Conference will cover the following per Dr. Fenby:  "The Conference examines, in chronological order, many of the revivals and apparent revivals recorded in Scripture.

First, we will develop a working definition of revival. Then, starting in Genesis 4:26, we will step through the revival accounts. For each revival we will look at its historical context, what started the revival, and who were the people involved. Next, we will look at the external evidence for this revival, look for any positive lasting effects, determine if this was a true revival, and then seek to learn what we can from this historical revival about revivals today. At the end of the series, we will seek to produce a summary of learned about biblical revivals.

The sessions will be interactive. After a presentation of each revival, there will be an open discussion."

If anyone has any questions, contact Pastor Nicholson, at 240-8102.  Hope to see you there.

Special Church Council Meeting Held

ANCHORAGE MORAVIAN SPECIAL CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING OF THE MEMBERSHIP on November 2, 2008 was an historic occasion.  In a majority vote the membership approved a new set of bylaws for use by the Anchorage Moravian Church which recently applied for 501c3 status.  In other action the General Membership also approved the AncMC Joint Board to come up with a new 501c3 organization which may serve independently of the Anchorage Moravian Church, but under its umbrella to meet the social and physical physical needs of our children, youth and elders and those choosing to live in the Anchorage area.  A plan for the humanitarian organization will be given for January 2009 Church Council approval.  One of the neat things that may comes out of this is the possibility of lease of a large enough facility to accommodate offices and multi-purpose area for state and federal faith-based initiative granting programs.  There is a possibility of the AncMC entering into a sublease on an economical basis to hold church programs and worship services in a new large enough building by autumn 2009.  Please offer any ideas you may have for this new organization and also pray, pray, and pray.  Thanksgiving goes out to The Rev. Grant Shimanek for helping the AncMC move forward into the 21^st century to be a meaningful and vital force of good for the Lord Jesus.

Your Donated Dollars Will Begin to Do Something
The Anchorage Moravian Church Joint Board voted unanimously to set $50,000 as our new Church Building Fund Raising/Extravaganza Goal from September 7, 2008 to November 16, 2008.  As of Sunday September 28, 2008 over $6,000 has been raised.  Every member and friend of the Church is challenged to donate funds as an act of faith.  Shown is an AncMC conceptual drawing of a building similar to what we may be able to own.  We are shooting for special fund raising campaign this year and may solict state and federal funds so that our social service arm (creation currently in progress, but needs to be decided by a special Church Council meeting on November 2, 2008) is able to make a significant and positive impact upon those from rural Alaska moving into the southcentral area.
