Coming this week:
Our Sabbath blessing will come to us this week from The King’s Heralds Quartet. They will be performing at both services.

Current members are Don Scroggs, Joel Bord, Russell Hospedales and Jeff Pearles.

Coming in the weeks ahead:
Next Sabbath, November 1, Chaplain Thom Juarros will be here sharing his message of hope. He will be joined by the Shenandoah Valley Bell choir for 2nd service.

If you are single, choose just one of these items.

Available again this year are the colorful, inspirational God’s Creation Calendars. Our WAA students will be selling them beginning October 12. They remain the same low price as in the past, just $8. Buy one for your home, office and for that hard-to-buy-for uncle for Christmas!
