Ministry of Healing: The Child

This week we're sharing the chapter "The Child" from Ministry of Healing by Ellen G. White. It's a tender look at how parents can raise children who are healthy in body, mind, and spirit. White points to examples like Samson and John the Baptist, showing how careful, loving training from infancy shapes the character of a child for life. She reminds us that a home filled with love, patience, and good habits does more good than we may ever realize.

We hope this chapter encourages you, whether you're a parent, grandparent, or simply someone who loves the children in your life. Join us this Sabbath as we continue exploring what it means to care for the whole person: body, mind, and soul. We'd love to see you there!

Christ Object Lessons: Lost, and is Found

This week's chapter, "Lost, and Is Found," comes from Christ's Object Lessons by Ellen G. White. It looks closely at the story of the prodigal son and what it teaches us about God's love. Even when we wander far from Him, God is watching and waiting, ready to run to meet us the moment we turn back home.

This chapter is a reminder that no one is too lost or too far gone for God's grace. Whether you feel like the prodigal son or the elder brother, there's a place for you in the Father's house. Join us this Sabbath as we dig deeper into this beautiful story of love and forgiveness. We hope to see you there!

What September 11 Teaches Us About Being Ready

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the United States. Every September 11, we remember a morning when ordinary life was suddenly interrupted. People went to work, children went to school, and families began another ordinary day, never imagining how quickly everything could change. More than two decades later, 9/11 still reminds us of something we would rather not think about: none of us knows what tomorrow will bring.

But the Christian response to that uncertainty doesn't have to be fear. What if remembering September 11 can instead remind us to live with greater purpose, gratitude, and hope? This Sabbath, we invite you to join us as we consider what the Bible means when it calls us to “watch” and be ready for Christ's return, not with anxiety, but with quiet confidence and hope.

Ministry of Healing: The Mother

This week we return to our regular schedule with Chapter 31 of The Ministry of Healing, “The Mother.” In this chapter, Ellen G. White reflects on the sacred influence and responsibility of mothers, the importance of their health and well-being, and the lasting impact of their work in shaping the lives of their children.

And this Friday, we will also resume our original articles and regular blog content.

If you are able, we warmly invite you to join us this Sabbath for worship. We would be happy to have you with us.
