Hey AACMers!

I must admit, I have had way too much fun writing up these emailsand making them colorful! J/k but I honestly will definitely miss serving thefellowship this way. It’s about our last week of school so here are a fewthings that we have going on to finish the year strong!

Concert of Hope

Thursday, 5/5 @ 6-8pm in the IV office parking lot (San AntonioSt & 22^nd St.)

If you were at the Joint meeting, you can remember when JessicaJose from OneWay fellowship invited all of us to be a part of this amazingnight! Concert of Hope is an evening dedicated to reaching out to our homelessneighbors on Guadalupe. We want to be able to provide an environment for prayerand worship and just simply show our brothers and sisters what the love of Godis! If you’re interested in getting involved, go to the fb event page @ http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=152875941446375.

Conversational Evangelism!

Friday, 5/6 @ 2pm, Meet in the Union Showroom (across Wendy’s)

Surely conversational evangelism doesn’t end just because theschool year is ending! We hope that you have all been able to come out andexperience doing conversational evangelism with us. And we further hope thatyou would continue to do this with all whom you encounter this summer!

Large Group Meeting: CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, COME ON!

Friday, 5/6 @ 7pm WCH 1.120
Our last LG for the school year will be a night of celebrating andremembering what God has done this year and giving Him all the praise for it!It will also be a call to continued obedience to Him over the summer and intothe next year.

Senior Farewell

Come enjoy a night where we celebrate the end of the BEST AACM classever! j/k… Senior Farewell is a night celebrating our seniors’ faithfulness andcommitment to the ministry these past 4 years. Enjoy a night of performances byeach class and yummy snacks! No matter how well you know the seniors, we’d likefor you all to come and hear about all the amazing ways God has been workingwithin each of their lives.

Rec Week

May 21-27 @Camp Buckner, TX

Rec Week is an amazing time of fellowship with God and your brothersand sisters. Here’s just a few reasons why you should go!

5 Reasons to go to Rec Week!

5. It's for everyone! This is not a leader's retreat, but for our entirefellowship to meet with the Lord, each other, and brothers and sisters in IV atUT and other schools. We not only get a glimpse of what God's doing here andnow, but a glimpse of what God is calling us to as a fellowship and what God isdoing in other places.

4. Learning tracks are SOLID. Scripture seemjust like words on a page? Take the Following Jesus track! Have a hard timebeing interested in the Old Testament? Take the Roots track! Feel like everybodykeeps talking about evangelism but you really don't get the big deal? Take theLiving Witness track! Staff across the region lead these tracks for you to growin your knowledge and love of God and others.

3. Three words - ALL. CAMP. FUN. Ever wanted tocompete against different schools or classes in AACM to prove that yours is thebest in terms of brains, brawn, and all around awesomeness? Well "All CampFun" is the place to be. Ask someone who's been (if they're not still soreabout losing ;). There are also regular tournaments and other ways to have funand get to know people.

2. Scholarships are available! To attend, it'llbe $250 if you register by Friday, May 6^th.Contact AACM IV staff for more details, because we MUST have scholarshiprequest forms turned in by THIS FRIDAY (5/6). Don't let $$ be the thingthat keeps you from coming :).

1. You grow in your relationship withJesus. Okay, this may seem obvious but through the tracks, times offellowship, corporate worship and teaching, and space to reflect and respondallow you to meet and be challenged by Jesus in new ways. If you come withan expectant and open heart, you will not leave without having met with theLord.

After May 6^th, cost will be $275. Deadline is May 13th!Check out the scholarships!!!

If you have any questions, please contact one of the staff - Sarah Smith (sasmith511@gmail.com), JonNg (jonn1quest@gmail.com),or Christine Li (tinechrisli@gmail.com).

That was a lot but I hope you got through it all!

Cheers to my last email and cheers to a wonderful year :D

In His Love,

Sarah
