Notice for Young Believers in Christ

Young Believers in Christ

Hello Young People,

I hope you all had a great summer. I am very excited to start meeting again this fall. We should have an exciting year filled with new songs (bring your favorites.), finish the last three chapters of Revelations, start a new topic for devotion time, fundraising for a trip (even with a few bumps in the road towards travel I still pray we make it on our next one), and of course, to grow spiritually, in knowledge and understanding of our walk with God and His word.

I don't know how everyone's schedules are this fall but I was wondering if I can get an idea of when we should resume our meetings based on when we are all available to meet. My suggestion would be to start beginning of  September and to meet on Mondays, Wednesdays or Saturdays (Based on a few peoples schedules.).

I am going to start looking at what we had drafted up for ideas for this fall and draw up some ideas we can look at. Also, I talked to Carrie Paton after our spring meetings and she said we can let her know if we would like to use her home as a place to meet for our meetings. But I will let this be a group decision.

I would really appreciate all of your ideas, opinions, suggestions, etc... so please let me know! Thank you and I hope you all have a great week.

PS: Liane, Kevin,and their two boys moved back home to Eek this summer. They would like me to let you know that they said Hi  and they are enjoying the slow paced life and the boys are getting big. Also, to keep them in your prayers.

Report on Manokotak Spiritual Feast

"The walls came tumbling down.  The barriers were opened.  Many received salvation, forgiveness, love, and the pouring of the Holy Spirit was evident."  These are the words of Mrs. Carrie Paton, an observer and participant at Manokotak, Alaska, Spiritual Feast gathering held on October 18-21, 2007. 

In response after reading the report, Pastor Nicholson asks, "is this an evidence that a new Herrnhut experience of Pentecost is in our midst?  If so the positive impacts will be lasting."  As new believers come into the fold, he challenges Moravian Christians "to mentor and disciple the new believers, so we don't lose them.  Follow-up and counseling is a must." 

In an even bigger response to this report and because of a request made by three of our Church members to an Anchorage Moravian Church Elders meeting on November 11, 2007, it was agreed unanimously that the Manokotak Youth Leaders may indeed travel to Anchorage to hold a similar Spiritual Feast event in Anchorage on November 23 and 24, 2007, 7 PM, at 1st Congregational Church, 6 PM.  If anyone has any questions about this event, please call Carrie Paton at 345-1057.

Policy on Small Groups

Policy on Small Groups is an important  aspect of the Anchorage Moravian Church.  On December 3, 2006, the Board of Elders felt that as the church grows it needed to approve a living and working policy to promote good understanding and communication between small groups in the life of the local Church and its spiritual leadership.

A Meditation After Christmas

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Hymn Stanzas by John W. Work, 1871–1925

Moravian Candle Service Dec. 24, 2006

You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” (Isaiah 40:9)

For many people, another Christmas season is merely a rerun of the trivial and the sentimental. But for the devoted Christian, Christmas is much more than a once a year celebration. It is a fresh awareness that a Deliverer was sent from the ivory palaces of heaven to become personally involved in the redemption and affairs of the human race. The impact of this realization becomes a strong motivation to share the good news with needy and desperate people who need to know that there is an Emmanuel available who can meet their every need. Men everywhere must hear these glad tidings if they are to benefit from them. With absolute clarity they must hear the message, “Here is your God!”
