Where did the first caveman or cavewoman get the idea that somebody, somewhere, existed who needed to be worshiped, appeased, and followed? And how did the idea evolve that if you didn't say, do, or offer the right things, this being would be upset, agitated, or even angry with you? Where did religion come from? This is a one night viewing at the pastor's home, followed by a discussion of Rob Bell's presentation. Register on the website in the Walking With Jesus section of the equipping classes.

One of the most significant ways that we can demonstrate our love for Jesus is to be involved in mercy ministries, including caring for the poor, the widow, the orphan and those in immediate need. One place to become involved in this type of ministry is Yonge Street Mission. This ministry offers many and diverse opportunities to be a blessing to others. Take a look on the volunteer page of their website. Yonge Street Mission is a Toronto urban ministry supported by Acts Fellowship.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. - Hebrews 10:24-25
If God is stirring your heart to increasingly step out in faith as a man of God and to deepen your relationship with Him, then come for a time of spiritual fellowship with your brothers at Acts.

We would love to have you join us.
Acts Fellowship is studying the Book of Luke together. The teaching is on hold right now, as we study principles of hearing God's voice. The next teaching will cover the section including Luke 18:9-17. We will study the Jesus' teaching about humility. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of Jesus' character and his life practices, so that we can know Him more intimately. Take some time to read the passage and talk to God about how it applies to your life.
Do you need physical healing? The healing team will be available after the service to pray for healing and freedom from physical illness and disease. The healing ministry day is on the last Sunday of each month. Come in faith, expecting to receive healing from the Holy Spirit. If you have a testimony of healing or for more information, please contact Sang.
