Friday Night Vespers

This Friday night we invited the students over to my house. We started off the evening with some Ultimate Frisbee before sundown and then socialized and had dinner together outside in the grass. We had a lovely song service with a guitar around a fire pit, continued with a devotional and discussed "second-hand spirituality" and how we could strengthen our lives with God. We had a great turn out of students and we enjoyed making S'mores and watching "The Ultimate Gift" to end a great night. It was a wonderful way to relax, praise God and bring in the Sabbath.

Bible Study

This week was very exciting for Wright State ACF, we had 4 new visitors to our Thursday night Bible Study. We are continuing to study Luke and this last week was a very "real" and open Bible study with many people sharing their own personal testimonies and how it applies to what God is doing for them even through the struggles in their lives. Thursday nights are growing and we ended with a prayer time for each individual. Wright State is continually being blessed.

Wright State ACF Update!! :)

Bible Studies

Although I was out of town for almost two weeks, ACF members did a wonderful job at holding down Bible Studies. This last Bible Study we had 2 new great girls come and afterwards we all went to Bridge Cafe and played games and relaxed hanging out with everyone! It was a great way to share God and kickback with other fellow Christians. Our Wednesday Bible Studies haven't quite picked up, but have turned into a great prayer time with the students that do come.

Miamisburg Church

I made a visit to Miamisburg and showed them the video ACF had made and talked about the new developments going on at Wright State. This church has been such a great support and they were wonderful and excited to learn about all the new developments at Wright State. I look forward to visiting them again.

Praise Band

The Wright State Praise Band is still practicing Sabbath afternoons. They are having fun praising God and just coming together to get the music going. We're practicing to be ready for our first Large Worship Vespers night this next school year.

God has really blessed Wright State and we Thank You all for your support :) I can be contacted at wrightACF@gmail.com

ACF First Annual Spring Concert at OSU

After months of planning and hundreds of hours of work the Adventist Christian Fellowship at The Ohio State University hosted a Vespers Concert on Friday April 29. Performers came from as far away at Mt. Vernon and two of the vocal groups included ACF students proving that the Adventist Church indeed has a very gifted future. Pastor Kwesi from the Columbus African Fellowship acted as Master of Ceremonies. There were approximately 70 people in attendance. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much that it was unanimously agreed that we should hold a concert more often than the intended once a year. A very pleasant surprise to the evening was when Dr. Gordon Gee, president of OSU arrived and stayed for several songs despite his busy schedule that evening. Robert Okyere our student president had invited him by email. He enjoyed himself very much and requested an invitation to our next event. We closed the evening with a drawing for free Frichick and an invitation for everyone to enjoy some refreshments.

The Lord's Passover Supper (Maundy Thursday)

The Ohio State University ACF group decided to forgo their weekly Bible Study this last Thursday to do something extra special for Holy Week.

It was a Thursday evening in 33 AD that Jesus sat down to a meal with his disciples and prefaced it with these words "I have eagerly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer." That was the evening that all Israel performed a special service in commemoration of God's redeeming act in Israel's past when He called them His own people, delivered them from slavery, bought them with a sacrifice, and led them into their promised inheritance. Type was about to meet antitype.

April 21 2011, 11 of us sat around a table filled with traditional passover foods and contemplated the meaning of the passover rituals while acting out Jesus' command to serve one another and "Do this as often as you eat it in remembrance of me." We learned what was significant about the bread (matzo) that Jesus broke, what the cup Jesus gave his disciples has to do with marriage, and why Jesus never concluded the Passover meal but walked out after the third cup. Then we sang hymns together before concluding the evening. James Randolph described it as a "real" worship experience. We're already looking forward to next year.

Our Holy Week activities continued on Sabbath with dinner at Dr. Pascall's house, a faculty member at OSU and ACF sponsor. Lunch lingered into evening as we shared and sang more together.

I hope you each had a blessed Easter Weekend. HE IS RISEN!

Cherry Blossoms

Last Sabbath a few of our ACF students and church members enjoyed the an afternoon walk around campus. We spent most of our time observing the beautiful cherry blossoms along the Hocking River. We concluded with a short worship and prayer.

Spring Break Zoo Trip!

ACF enjoyed a wonderful Spring Break at the Cincinatti Zoo and enjoying nature and the beautiful animals that our God created. :) It was a bit chilly but we still had a fun time!
