anchorage church of Christ

God is richly blessing our prison ministry as we conduct a weekly worship service at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward. There are currently five men there that have surrendered their lives to God through baptism.

Under normal circumstances our brother Jessie Killgore goes to Seward on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of every month to take God's Word to the inmates that want to hear God's message. For our five brothers who reside at Spring Creek it is an oppurtunity to worship according to the New Testament pattern and to fellowship with one another and the person who goes into their world to further teach them.

Once again it is time for the youth of the churches of Christ in Alaska to gather for a weekend of fellowship, fun, and spiritual feasting.

Joe Wells of Focus Press will be our guest speaker. Open the three attachments for the flyer, schedule, and registration form.

If you have attended John's Q & A Class before you know what a rich spiritual banquet it is. This class has evolved into a loosely structured group discussion. John is still the fascilitator but different students present their studied material and then John summarizes and adds the results of his own studies on the subject.

This class will continue each Thursday evening through March 25. John and Marlene open their home to those of us who want to attend this wonderful opportunity to learn more about what God's Word has for us to learn.

If you've attended the previous class, please bring your binder and materials for this class. If you haven't attended before, please let John know that you plan to be a part of this next session and he will make up a binder for you.

John's class on Saturday mornings will resume today. The study is called Bible Structural Analysis Through Inductive Study - A Graphics Approach, but don't let that scare you off!

If you want to learn how to study God's Word, come to this class. It is simply a matter of reading the text, reading the text, and reading the text again. Then we let the Scriptures speak for themselves. After reading the text several times it becomes clearer just what it says to us. We don't have to come up with our own interpretation and we don't have to go find out what others say the text means.

We can soon begin to graphically reproduce the text. Graphically reproduce? That just means to put the text into a different format so we can see the depth of each phrase and how it relates to other phrases.

If you're a serious student of the Bible, you won't find a better way to spend two precious hours each Saturday morning for ten weeks.
