Hi everyone. There are just so many things going on with ACF! Please take note to the following things.


Retreat: The deadline for registration for the Winter Retreat is Thursday, Feb 19th- only a few days left to register! Partial scholarships are available if money is an issue. Money and waivers must be to Andrea on Thursday.

Not convinced that you should go? Here’s a video the lovely Sarita made about the last retreat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGqVGf85_v0.

Large group this Thursday
We are making some pretty cool announcements at large group on Thursday, so be sure to come out! 7:30pm in Clark Commons. It will probably be shorter than usual. We will be letting you know about everything that is going on this semester, including small groups.

Debate Friday
There is going to be a debate Friday on the topic “Does the New Testament present a reliable portrait of the historical Jesus?” It is between Bart D. Ehrman and Acadia Divinity College’s own Craig A.  Evans. See http://www.religionsoup.ca/. I have five tickets available but I cannot go, so if you are interested in going, email me. It is all sold out!

Car rally Saturday
The plan is to have a pretty cool car rally (scavenger hunt type thing in vehicles) on Saturday followed by a get-together with food.
Saturday January 21 at 2:30pm    Location: Clark Commons. 
Start inviting you friends now!

Global Partnerships
The deadlines for the GPs to Guatemala and China are coming up at the end of the month! So contact Andrea soon if you are interested in going to Guatemala for 2 weeks or China for 5 weeks. These are certainly life-changing experiences, and I would highly recommend you going.  andrea.pearce@gmail.com
Youtube party
We are planning a Youtube party on February 10th which is going to be sweet! Let’s all share our favourite videos with each other. Come dressed up as your favourite person/character from a youtube video.

Jesus to the Nations
The Jesus to the Nations missions conference is coming up in only 10 weeks! It is on March 23-25 this year and Shane Claiborne, Dr. K.P. Yohannan and Freda Smallwood. I am just so excited for it that I had to tell you weeks in advance.
