Help us show our home bound and assisted living members that we haven't forgotten them. This afternoon we have an Easter Lily to deliver to them. It just takes a few minutes, but a flower and prayer, puts a smile on their face every time they look at it. We will give you a card with their name and address on it.
On Saturday, April 19, 3:30 PM, at Mars Community Center, Michiana Adventist Forum will host an interview with Dr. Meredith Jones Gray, author of “As We Set Forth” (2002) and “Forward in Faith” (2024). This two-volume set recounts the history of Andrews University from its early days as Battle Creek College and Emmanuel Missionary College. In this interview, Dr. Jones Gray will reflect on her research and writing process as it intersects with her own long history at Andrews. Mars Community Center is located at 26-50 Sylvester Ave., Berrien Springs. Everyone is welcome.
Saturday April 19 at 8:30 PM, the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra is presenting the WAUS "Thank You Concert" in the Howard Performing Arts Center. This performance is sponsored by the radio station and the admission is free. Dr. Chi Yong Yun will be featured as guest soloist on Schumann's piano concerto in A minor, and the University Singers and Chorale will be performing Franck's Psalm 150 and The Heavens Are Telling from Haydn's oratorio The Creation.
If you would like to honor the memory of someone who has passed away since last Easter, you are invited to bring a spring flower to place at the foot of the cross during the Processional of Hope at either service this coming Sabbath, April 19, 2025.

Charles Schwab, Bank of America, and Fidelity are among many financial institutions that provide financial advisers to help people invest their money to prepare for retirement. Christ gave solid investment advice, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV).
In other words, invest your treasures in the kingdom of heaven. God has a simple plan in place to finance His kingdom work here on earth. It’s so simple. First, He blesses His children, and then they return faithfully the tithe and freewill offerings. That’s it. As there are greater needs in growing God’s kingdom, He increases the blessings He gives to His children. So, the more faithfully we return, the more He gives. This is the divine partnership God wants His people to understand. There is no other plan, no substitute, no alternate. An all-wise God knew the right plan from the beginning. His investment system is fail-proof. Do you want to see God do a miracle? Let’s invest in Kingdom work and watch Him work His wonders.

Best buddies is a worldwide organization that fosters relationships between individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with others in the community. This April there will be a friendship walk on the Andrews campus.

If you are interested in joining us for the walk you can sign up, and if you can not join us on April 27 you can still donate. All donations are welcome and appreciated.
The Memorial Service for Bruce Wrenn will be on Sabbath, April 26 at 5 PM at Pioneer Memorial Church. Visitation with the family will be in the Narthex from 4-5 PM.
