| | Anyone for pumpkin pie??
This week at large group, we are having a raffle for a pumpkin pie!
The challenge: guess the weight of our pumpkin (You'll see it in person)
Your ticket: bring canned food,
or donate $2 to the raffle! The money will go to buying canned food for
the homeless shelter this winter season.
The prize: a homemade pumpkin pie!
This week,
come here Brian Plunkett speak on
what God values. It's kind of a vague topic, but I promise he won't
speak so vaguely. For those of you who don't know, Brian Plunkett is
involved with the youth group at Shoreline Calvary Chapel. He's come to
speak to us several times, and we love having him come back! Be ready
for God to move you!
Decorate pumpkin cookies after
large group this week! Now you can have your cookie, and eat it too!
We'll all be over at the Eto house, frosting and making some pumpkins
look darn yummy. And if you're not the creative decorating type, you
can come to just eat them!
Our website is
finally up and running! If you see Janice around, give her a huge hug
for all her effort! It's incredible: you'll find all the information
you're looking for, and more. Sign up for our google group, find out
about small groups, prayer, upcoming events... you can even submit
prayer requests! Check it out at http://www.aacf.calpoly.edu.
Make a difference day is
coming up on Saturday, October 28th! (It's a national event, you know!)
THIS is the opportunity to show others at Cal Poly what AACF is all
about! We love helping out other people, and more than that we love
showing others the love of Christ. In the morning, we are meeting up in
Chumash (on-campus) to have FREE breakfast and meet other campus groups
who are volunteering during the day. Then we go out and make a
difference! Sign up with Toby or Aaron during large group this week.
Christmas banquet is
right around the corner! We really want this to be an opportunity to
bring our friends to fellowship and let them see what Christianity is
really all about. Save the date: Saturday, December 9th. We also need
creative minds and helping hands to make this event happen, so sign up
this week!
Remember: we're all about a God, who's all about people. Be a person who's about living for others!
Love,
AACF

random ramblings from nat:
the
cold weather means holidays are just around the corner! and two words
come into my head: family and food. ive been on a cooking/baking craze,
and its great because i love to cook, and i love to eat! cooking meals
or baking goodies for people i care about just warms my heart. i
probably enjoy it more than the people eating my stuff.. : ]
but anyway, ive realized that as a college student, there
isnt too much flexibility to spend my money carelessly. it's nice to
eat out once in a while, but i also have to be satisfied with my
less-elegant meals. it might mean waiting on those pair of shoes ive
wanted for so long.. i guess it goes along with this idea of a wartime
lifestyle, that we should live simply for a purpose.
so i decided that instead of spending money, i love the people
around me in other ways. spending real quality time with them, praying
for them, or baking them cookies.. it's funny how much a sweet
compliment could brighten someone's day, more than money spent on
them. of course, its a lot easier to just buy something for my friends.
but how much more does it mean when you think of something that would really make them smile?
i
challenge you to do that this week: find a friend who needs some
encouragement. be creative and think of something that would really
make their day. bless them in an unexpected way, and watch that frown
turn upside down! : ] and since they're so contagious, i can almost
guarantee a smile on your face too.
