WE WANT TO SEE YOU!

Join us Sabbath, September 26:
Family Service at 9:45am
Worship Service at 11:15am

From Pastor Roger…Many people in our church are doing great things. I listen to some of the stories in the morning prayer call, I get emails and text messages about them, and I see people who are out helping their neighbors, serving their community, and helping hurting people. They are giving rides to the elderly, they are praying for and studying with people. It’s always exciting to hear what you are doing to reach out into the community.

We are going forward with our major REACH-OUT thrust. We now have less than 5 weeks to go before Brian McMahon gets here. The costs have shifted a bit on us, and we need to raise about $7,000 more than we expected. If you are able to help, please do so.

If you haven’t downloaded our app for the church yet, make sure you do that here:
For iOS/Apple
For Google/Android
It is so easy to use and is another way to keep us connected!

I love being your pastor!Roger Walter, DMin

From Andy Bryson
Fort Vancouver Pathfinder Club Director

Pathfinders has started up!
We are meeting on Thursday nights at the church from 6:40pm to 8:00pm.The Pathfinder Club is open to all children from 10 to 16 years old.

Those who would still like to join the club can contact me: pathfinders@adventistcommunity.church

Adventurer Club, for kids ages 4-9, will be starting soon with an Adventurer Club Registration Event!

Come join us THIS Sabbath, September 26, from 4:00-5:00pm in the Adventist Community Church Fellowship Hall. This will be a come-and-go event. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please bring a white t-shirt for your Adventurer as we will be making tie die shirts to wear for club meetings this year. T-shirts can be provided for Adventurer kids if you contact the club directors in advance. Other family members are welcome to bring their own shirts to join in the fun!

Due to Covid-19 contact restrictions, Adventurer Club will be a little different this year. We will be hosting a family style club meeting once a month. A minimum of one family/designated adult will need to attend and participate with their child for the full club meeting. We look forward to this opportunity!

We plan to meet at the church first or second Sabbaths of the month, 2:00-3:30pm. Our first regular club meeting will be October 3. We will complete one award at this group meeting and one award will be prepared for kids to complete at home. Club dues will be $10 total for Oct-Dec and $10 total for Jan-May.

If you have questions please email Hailu and Clair Gabriel at adventurers@adventistcommunity.church
We look forward to hearing from you!

Capture a fresh vision of what your children can become with these helpful topics and how you can support and encourage parents.
