The College Church of Seventh-day Adventists<br />
If we purport to lead a<br />
religiously observant life, but<br />
then that religious observance<br />
does not transfer to our<br />
ethical behavior, then we have<br />
carried God's name in vain. We<br />
have brought down God.<br />
- William J. Gershon<br />

Occasional afternoons; see calendar above for changes.<br />

The good news is that our ongoing renovations and updating<br />
have really made a difference in our church home. More<br />
good news is that we have, for the most part, done this<br />
work and continued the same level of church budget giving.<br />
The bad news is that our church budget giving still remains a little<br />
behind our actual monthly needs. We'd ask you to prayerfully consider that.
