Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

Oh how I miss these Wednesday emails...

It is with deepest joy,
and greatest fervor,
that we welcome you Friday.
 
That’s when we invite you to join us.
Let us write you a name tag
as the fellowship proudly presents --
our Large Group.
 
Be... Our... Guest!
(to) ACF!
 
Put our service to the test!
Bring your Bible and your pen, chérie
and we’ll provide the rest.
 
Voices raised,
upward gaze,
when we sing songs of praise.
 
Come to Large Group.
There’ll be learning.
Don’t believe me? Be discerning.
Ephesians, chapter six -
adding armor to the mix:
Be equipped to boldly stand up to the test.
 
Do come, we start at seven,
come along and then you’ll
 
Be our guest,
Oui, our guest
(to) ACF!
 
You’re on time,
prompt, I’m sure.
Just like last week, as we were.
Tow’r cathedral, room G8
Come to Large Group, don’t be late!
 
You’re alone
and you’re scared
but the welcome team’s prepared.
They will greet you with affection,
complement your good complexion.
 
Some tell jokes! Mostly puns...
They might say, “second to none.”
And it all will make you cringe,
that, you can bet.
 
We hope to see you there
To show you how we care
Please be our guest.
 
If you’re stressed,
it’s fine friendship we suggest.
 
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
(to) ACF!
 
 
Life is so depleting,
for a student who’s not sleeping.
They’re not well, and cannot tell, when they should eat.
Ah, those good old days when we were rested...
Suddenly, those good old days are beat.
 
Three months, we’ve been toiling
as our bodies now are spoiling,
needing exercise, and sunshine on our skin.
Most days, we just congregate at poolside.
 
Loopy, sad and lazy
but on Fridays, things get crazy!
 
It’s a guest! It’s a guest!
All in all, we hope you’re blessed!
Be restored, and thank the Lord,
we have great peace, despite unrest.
Through it all, He is there,
gentle shoulders help to bear,
lonely hearts and heavy burdens,
God is with us, I am certain.
 
Come along, this weekend
Be on time! We’ll start a trend.
Friday Night! It’s coming soon I do profess.
There’s little left to say,
But have a jolly day!
For you our guest!
 
ACF!
ACF!
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
ACF!
 
We’re excited, can’t you guess?
It’s been days since we have gone our separate ways
at life’s behest.
 
But we’re back, all as one.
Gladly worship, God’s one son.
 
While the semester’s still going,
Let us help, we’ll all keep growing!
 
Bit by bit,
day by day,
‘til we reach
the end of May!
Then we’ll pray for you until the next school year.
 
Well I shall see you very soon
Until then, good night moon.
 
Be our guest!
Be our guest!
Be our guest
to A C F !!
 
- R. K.
