Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Psalm 90:2
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

session for all adults in the sanctuary. Neal Archbold will be
leading.

The blessings of the Sabbath draw to a close at 8:49 PM
and resume next Friday at 8:52 PM

Light Bearer’s Camp Meeting July 3- 7
This year’s theme for the Light Bearer’s Camp Meeting will be: The Minor
Prophets—Major Salvation Promises in the Minor Prophets.
They are called the Minor Prophets because of their size, not their spiritual
depth. Hidden in these little books are found sublime pictures of God’s
unrelenting love. That’s why we plan to plumb their depths to mine rich
nuggets of God’s golden love that promises to keep our love alive in the
coming crisis. We warmly invite you to join Light Bearers and our speakers,
Ty Gibson, James Rafferty, David Asscherick, Jeffrey Rosario, Fred
Bischoff, Nathan Renner and Risë Rafferty for a Spirit-led journey that
promises to build hope, faith and love at our annual convocation July 3-7 in
Jasper, Oregon. For more information, please go to www.lightbearers.org, or
call 541-988-3333.
Redwood Camp Meeting July 19 - 28
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest,” Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) is the theme of this year’s Redwood Camp
Meeting. Come be spiritually renewed in the giant Redwoods of Northern
California. To register, go to: www.nccsda.com/redwood. See you there!
“LIKE” us on Facebook!
We have an active church page (“Grants Pass Seventh-day Adventist
Church”) that you can connect with yourself and also invite friends and
family to do as well! Just another way to keep informed and to share with
others in our community about our church!
Dorcas
Many in the community of Grants Pass are blessed with food and clothing
that is distributed from our center. Especially now, during summer, we’re
short staffed and volunteers are greatly needed. Please call Larry Sample at
541-660-9088 for more information.
Prayer Chain Email Group
We are thrilled to have so many people requesting to be put on the Church’s
Prayer Chain email group. We know God answers prayer and the more
people praying, the more God works! To streamline the requests, we’re
asking that ALL prayer requests go through the church’s
email: [email protected] so we can consolidate the
requests. Please use Donna Griffith’s personal email for EMERGENCY
prayer requests only (ie: someone is enroute to the hospital, an accident just
happened, etc). Thank you!
