you to support our kids by coming out, watching online. Be sure to invite a friend or family member to join too, so they can get to know Jesus better.

The weather outside is getting warmer and this would be a great opportunity for you to show your kindness, caring, and smiles to everyone who enters our church doors for Sabbath worship. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Darryl at legoh@andrews.edu. Thank you.
