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!
