Fellowship Dinner There will be a fellowship dinner, following the second worship service in the commons on the lower level. ———— Pioneer’s fellowship dinner ministry is alive and well. There are currently 11 teams sharing the responsibility of hosting the
dinners throughout the year. However, the ministry needs more teams as well as individuals who are willing to join the current teams. If you are a part of a small group or Sabbath School class that is not currently active in this important ministry, please consider becoming involved. Current teams serve from two to four times a year. If you would like to join a currently active team, let us know. For more information, or to volunteer, text 269-281-2345, and send the word "FELLOWSHIP". You will be able to enter your contact information there, and we will be in contact with you.

"Did God Create Viruses?" February 24 • 3:30 PM
Garber Auditorium, Chan Shun Hall On Sabbath, February 24 at 3:30 pm in Chan Shun Hall, Michiana Adventist Forum and the Andrews University Department of Biology will sponsor a talk by Dr. James Hayward, professor emeritus of biology, entitled “Did God Create Viruses?” The COVID-19 pandemic brought viruses front and center to the stage of human consciousness. Yet a great deal of misunderstanding remains about these biological entities. What are viruses? Are they alive? How were they discovered? How diverse are they? How do they reproduce and how are they transmitted? In what ways do they impact human society? Are some viruses “good”? Did God create viruses? These are some of the questions to be
addressed in this presentation.
