Pastor Kermit Netteburg celebrates the baptism of its newest member, Bonnie Anthony
|
BELSTSVILLE SDA CHURCH | This is what you call dedication! On one of the snowiest days we've seen in well over a decade, between sixty and seventy people weathered the winter storm to meet at the Beltsville Church to celebrate the baptism of its newest member, Bonnie Anthony. What made this especially unique is that many of those in attendance were guests from other churches that were closed that day (Beltsville was one of the few churches in the Washington D.C. area that held services that Sabbath). In addition, there were 55 sites watching online, with multiple people at many of those sites. In other words, there were more online worshipers in attendance than there were in-the-sanctuary worshipers. It truly is a new day! To paraphrase our Postal Service Creed - "We are mothers and fathers. And sons and daughters. And Pastors. Who every day go about our lives with duty, honor and pride. And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, nor a nation challenged, will stay us from the swift completion of our appointed rounds. Ever " |

ALUMNI AWARDS FUNDATION | The Alumni Awards Foundation (AAF) will host its fourth Renaissance Adventist Education summit in Washington, D.C. April 24, bringing together a group of distinguished leaders and church laity to discuss critical concerns facing Adventist K-12 schools in an effort to revitalize Adventist education.
The summit, held in the Grand Ballroom of the Bethesda North Marriott from 2:45 to 8:30 p.m., will include focus group discussions to discern and prioritize an agenda for awakening change in Adventist schools.
AAF recognizes that while church membership is growing, enrollment in Adventist schools is decreasing. The nonprofit organization has taken the initiative to find solutions to the challenges by calling on some of the most influential people in the Adventist community to help them facilitate a rebirth in Adventist education. After receiving a groundswell of support from summits held in Riverside, Calif., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Orlando, Fla., AAF decided to host additional events in Washington, D.C. and Portland, Oreg. (summer 2010).
These think tank events convene the voice of concerned people who are passionate about seeing growth and excellence in Adventist education.
