Expanding Family
Author: Pastor Mitch Williams

In January of this year, Diana and Amon Samweli began attending our
church. They approached me asking to dedicate their infant daughter
Ariana, which we did (some of you may remember). As I got to know Diana
and Amon better, I discovered some interesting things about them. Diana
graduated from medical school in India. Amon is currently studying to
earn his MBA here in the Bay Area. Both of them were born in Tanzania,
Africa where as children they had to daily walk for miles to fetch their
water and dodge poisonous snakes, among other hardships.
Diana
and Amon immigrated to the US a few years ago, and the Lord led them to
our church. Since January, we have been studying the Bible together and
this Sabbath they will be baptized! Please come and witness this
special event and get to know the newest members of our church family!
This
Sabbath we also continue our new sermon series entitled: Why Church?
Last Sabbath we were reminded that the essence of church means to gather
together. One of the most exciting things about gathering as a church
is for baptisms!
While the pandemic has
hindered us from gathering as we once did, California is opening back up
June 15, and so are we on June 19. Both church and Sabbath School will
resume indoors on that special date. Please mark your calendars for that
special grand reunion Sabbath! In the meantime, please note that you no
longer need to register to attend church!
May the Lord bless and keep you in His care!
Blessings!
