It’s Summer, time for beaches, barbecues, and vacations.  Acts 2 is  going to be taking a break over the summer, and will start back in September.We’ll be updating the blog as well as  Twitter, so you won’t be too far from your favorite Bible Study buds!

So, kick back, relax, and enjoy your Saturday nights.  And we’ll see you all (officially) in September… although a cook-out MAY happen soon..

This Weekend at A2

May 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Thank you, Mom.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day.  We all need to stop and take a moment to honor, love, and appreciate the amazing women that God has put into our lives.  Mothers (and wives) are often under-appreciated, but their value is immeasurable.

An unknown author once wrote,


You were there when we took our first steps,

And went unsteadily across the floor.

You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,

Until our steps took us out the door…
You worry now “Are they ok?”
Is there more you could have done?

As we walk the paths of our unknown

You wonder”Where have my children gone?”

Where we are is where you have led us,

With your special love you showed us a way,

To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.

Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.

And where we go you can be sure,

In spirit you shall never be alone.

For where you are is what matters most to us,

Because to us that will always be home…


I hope that this year, we all stop and pay homage to these lovely, amazing women, Happy Mother’s Day!

Don’t forget, ACTS 2 is THIS Saturday at 6:00 pm!

Happy Cinco de Mayo from Acts2 Church Tampa!

Happy Cinco de Mayo from Acts2 Church Tampa!

Dear John,

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I hope that this finds you doing well.  It’s been a wild couple of weeks for the Acts 2 Posse, and hopefully things will calm down for all of us.

I’m excited because we’re getting ready to launch into studying the Book of Acts.  It’s going to be awesome to see how the early Christian Church began and grew.  It will challenge and inspire us to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world as the early Christ Followers did.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we’ll be having a MEXICAN FOOD THEME for all the food items this Saturday – Drinks/Plates/Utensils will be provided!

I hope to see you Saturday! Ole’!!

John
