A MESSAGE FOR THE SEASON

By Mic Thurber

I don’t know if you have the same reaction I do, but I cringe when I hear the first Christmas song being played in a store! Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas music, and I tend to listen to it all year long.

But if all I heard was department-store Christmas music, I think I’d lose all love for the season! It’s just plain hard for me to take the juxtaposition of sacred themes with mere commerce.

COMMENTARY: FEARLESS MISSIONARIES

By Matt Hasty

“No Soliciting, No religion, No fundraisers” read the sign on the door. A second later, a voice from behind us said, “Can I help you?”  We turn and see a man, Stacy, by his garage door looking at us with a frown. Our fearless Campion student, Sam Walton, walked up to Stacy with a smile and handed him a cookbook. Predictably Stacy cuts off Sam mid-sentence saying he’s not interested. Rather than leaving with his tail between his legs, Sam persisted by offering him one of our GLOW Bible pamphlets. With a visible look of confusion, Stacy said to Sam, “Wait! What? Who are you?”

DECEMBER 31 OFFERING
 
The December 31, 2022, Offering did not have a purpose listed on the offering calendar other than "Union Designated". After consulting with the Mid-America Union Conference, they have given that offering back to the conferences and the Conference has decided to designate that offering for RMC Secondary Education. This offering will be shared between RMC secondary schools based on enrollment.
 
We hope this offering is promoted in your churches as I believe Adventist Education plays a very important part in our Church. I believe that I am still an Adventist today due to the influence my teachers had on me, especially in the high school years.
 
--Darin Gottfried, RMC vice president of finance
