Theological Hmm: I don't know all the ins and outs of this situation, but I know the only solution was prayer. – Denzel Washington
Sabbath School classes are encouraged to consider gathering together in the sanctuary on Saturday, August 13, 2022 instead of participating in their normal routines to attend our “Special Sabbath Rally” Starting at 9:30am with a presentation by evangelist Rich Halversen entitled “Darkness Will Not Overcome.” Hear about a parent's struggle with a son hooked on drugs. Learn how to cope with someone's addiction through the eyes of a mother & father. Hear how the power of prayer leads to victory.
Then, stay for church featuring Rich Halversen sharing the sermon message “Lost & Found." There will be a provided Friendship Lunch (sign up sheet on bulletin board; if space remains walk-ins welcome).
Then, at 2pm there will be one more shorter presentation clarifying expectations for how we can help create a winsome experience during Prophecies of Hope SEPT 9 -24 nightly at 7:15 - 8:15pm. Join us!
