Grants Pass Seventh-day Adventist Church

Pastor Charles Byrd

June 2, 2018

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Jeremiah 32:27

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

10:50 AM Pastor Byrd’s sermon today will be about how God is

prepared for every situation in our lives – including our salvation!—

even when we’re running from His will.

12:30 PM All are welcome to join in our vegetarian fellowship

luncheon following the main service, hosted by Growing! & Going!

The blessings of the Sabbath draw to a close at 8:44 PM

and resume next Friday at 8:48 PM

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!

mailto:[email protected]

Church Calendar Scheduling

To avoid scheduling conflicts, please contact the church office when

planning an event or when you need to use a room in the church, the

sanctuary, or the Better Living Center. All activities, and especially those

other-than-the-normally-scheduled usages, must be put on the church

calendar. Thank you!

“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!

Light Bearer’s Camp Meeting

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.
