DAILY PHOTO PARABLE -- Sabbath, May 19, 2012 --“The Beautiful Fern” by Maylan Schurch.

I would love to be able to tell you . . . ." (Click here to read more.)
REGISTER NOW FOR "SKY" VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL! At Sky VBS (which happens June 25-29 here at the church), kids imagine what it would be like to bounce among the clouds, soar with eagles, and reach for the stars. The Bible comes to life in new and powerful ways as kids explore why nothing is impossible with God. Through every experience, kids find that they can trust God. PARENTS' CLASS TOO! Moms or Dads, if you'd like to stay by for a brief parents' class, we're presenting a "grownup" version of what your kids will be learning--we can trust God in everything! Start soaring now--register your children to be a part of this Sky VBS (NO children under age 4 will be registered)! CLICK HERE, and select "Participant Registration"!

ONLINE GIVING NOW POSSIBLE! If you already pay your bills online, this may be the way you’d like to return tithes and offerings to our local church. It’s incredibly easy. Just click the “Online Giving” link in the blue area under the open Bible at the upper left area of this page, just under “Home” and “Devotional Photo Blog.” You’ll be given clear, brief instructions, and there’s even a demo video in case you need it (your pastor, a slow learner of things techie, didn’t need it, which should give you some idea of how easy it is). You’ll be given e-mail confirmation of your donations.
TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF BIBLE BELIEFS! Here's a fun, interactive online way to test your Bible knowledge, including distinctive Seventh-day Adventist beliefs. It's free, and there are no strings attached--you don't have to give any personal information. This is a great Sabbath afternoon activity, and a very educational one. And if you forward it on to someone else, it's like giving a Bible study! To take the quiz, click here. To read additional information about who developed the quiz and what people are saying about it, click here.
