Unlocking Health:
A Day with Dr. Tim Howe

Join us next Sabbath, August 9, 2025, for a special guest speaker, Dr. Tim Howe. He will be speaking during our 9:00 AM and 11:45 AM services. Dr. Howe has practiced internal and preventive medicine in Brunswick, Maine, for the past 36 years. His primary focus is on the prevention, treatment, and reversal of chronic diseases through dietary and lifestyle changes.

In the afternoon, a lecture will discuss the scientific reasons behind Ellen G. White's statement that "sugar clogs the system." It will take place at 4:00 PM in the Pioneer Youth Chapel. We hope to see you there!
