Frank Theaters Queensgate Stadium 13

Thank you

Thanks to everyone who came out to help actionchurch celebrate our fourth birthday. It was so much fun to see so many old friends…and meet so many new ones at the party last night. As I left the theater with a 3-D induced head ache (turns out I lost a contact lens), and an uncontrollable urge to talk like Jar Jar Binks, I said a prayer of gratitude to God for making such an improbable thing…that a church like actionchurch…a church with a death-star birthday cake :-) …a church made up of messed up, broken people like me… would not just survive- but prosper for four years is truly a “but God moment” that happened in our lifetime!

Special thanks to Kevin and all the folks at Frank Theaters. They donated TWO theaters, the party room, and even gave out prizes to all of our guests. I find their generosity especially amazing since actionchurch doesn’t solicit corporate donations…the theater actually offered the movie night WITHOUT being asked. We are so blessed to partner with them.

Thanks to Millie at Out of the Cake box for yummy…and epic looking cake…as usual!

Finally, thanks to everyone who invited their friends and family …everyone who works so hard each week…everyone who donates their hard-earned money to make sure that a place like actionchurch exists in York County.

Happy Birthday actionchurch.  I can’t wait to see what happens in the next four years as we Love God, Love People, and take action together!

 

actionchurch 4th Birthday Party-FYI

actionchurch is turning four, and tonight we’ll celebrate with a party at Frank Theaters Queensgate…and a screening of Star Wars Episode 1 3D.   Thanks to Frank Theaters for donating their amazing theater for this event, Thanks to ALL of you for making it a great four years, and Thank you for inviting your friends and family to celebrate with us.  Here’s a few things you should know about tonight’s celebration.

1.  We will NOT be entering the theaters tonight through the side entrance.  Come in the front entrance and turn right  (through the arcade) to reach the party room.

2.  Cake, Cake pops, and Cupcakes will be served starting at 6pm.

3.  You WILL NEED your ticket to get into the Star Wars Screening (and to win door prizes including a 16gig iPod nano).   actionchurch has FILLED the largest theater at Franks so no extra seats will be available.  Please do not come or bring someone without a ticket (or confirmation via info@actionchurch.com that a ticket will be waiting for you).  As awkward as that is to say…it will be even more awkward if you or your guest shows up and isn’t able to get into the screening.  If you have already emailed and received  confirmation that there is a ticket(s) waiting for you are on the list…and there is a seat available for you.

4. If you have a ticket that you know will NOT be used tonight, contact us.  (info@actionchurch.com)  that will free up a seat for someone who currently will not be able to attend.  If you still need a ticket please contact us and we will let you know if more tickets have become available.

5. Crew members- please wear your crew hoodie so that our many new guests tonight will know who to approach if they have a question about the event tonight, or actionchurch in general.  (This is a request…not an order…and if your hoodie won’t fit over your wookie costume or Princess Leia outfit you can completely ignore it.) :-)

See ya tonight and may the force be with you!

 

Sunday @ actionchurch

This Sunday in the “But God” series we’ll be using an epic moment in Star Wars to lead into an epic “But God moment” in scripture, to answer an epic question many of us have about God and Life: “Can God really use the bad things that I’ve done (and others have done to me) for Good?”   I won’t say it’s going to be epic (because that would totally  be an embarrassing over-use of the word epic), but it should be an extremely useful and interesting week for anyone who hasn’t lived a perfect life with zero trouble…and zero mistakes.

This week we are looking forward to having Sister Brother on stage for the very first time at actionchurch.  The newly expanded actionkidz has an equally epic week planned for your kids…they’ll probably hate you if they miss it.

REMINDER:  This Sunday is your last opportunity to pick up tickets for you, your family, and all your friends for our 4th Birthday party and Free Movie night on Tuesday the 21st!   Along with a free screening of Star Wars Episode 1, we’ve got a yummy Star Wars cake that any four year old would love to share, some awesome door prizes (bring your tickets…you’ll need the number to win a prize), and other surprises planned.   We want to share our birthday celebration with as many folks as possible…so bring a carload…while tickets last. :-)

It all starts at 10:30 am at Frank Theaters Queensgate (Directions).  Come early to enjoy a  Coffee, Maple Donuts, bagels, and Muffins with the friendly folks of actionchurch.
