Butterfield.

2. Congratulations are Extended to D’Ari Coddington who has been awarded the Principal’s

Honors in Science & Literacy for this academic term. Also, the Deputy Principal’s Honors for

Numeracy and recognition of outstanding performance in Music.

3. Prayer Ministries: There are few who rightly appreciate or improve the precious privilege of

prayer. We should go to Jesus and tell Him all our needs. We may bring Him our little cares and

perplexities as well as our greater troubles. Whatever arises to disturb or distress us, we should take

it to the Lord in prayer. We should make no one our confidant but Jesus. We can safely commune

with Him of all that is in our hearts. (Testimonies for the Church, vol 5, 200, 201.)

4. Stephen Ministry: In times of trouble, we look to caring Christian friends to listen to us while we

work through our feelings. A Stephen Minister can be such a friend, either to you or to someone

you know. This week our Stephen Ministers will be studying Ministering to those with Grief and

Depression as they continue to learn ways of caring for people with needs. These Stephen

Ministers are committed to providing Christian care for others experiencing many different needs.

If you or someone you know could benefit from the trained, caring presence and listening ear of a

Stephen Minister please contact one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders, Elder Dwayne Burgess,

Pastor Sydney Gibbons, Katherina Gibbons.

Deadline for Announcements is Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. Submit by phone 292-4276

HAMILTON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH

Our Vision:

The vision of the Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church is to be a caring, biblically directed Christian Fellowship, where everyone experiences a loving relationship with Jesus Christ and is committed to using their talents and abilities to prepare others for His Second Coming.

Our Mission:

The mission of the Hamilton Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim the everlasting gospel to our families, friends and neighbors, leading them to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and nurturing them through Christ centered ministries in preparation for His soon return.

Our Method:

We pursue this mission under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through:

Preaching: We proclaim the message of a loving God fully revealed in His Son Jesus Christ and the Bible. We present the Bible’s full message, which includes the second advent of Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandment law with its reminder of the Seventh-day Sabbath. Teaching: We nurture the development of a loving relationship with God, by furthering the understanding of God’s will through Bible studies, teaching health and stewardship principles and community seminars.

Restorating: We minister to the needs of the whole person, which involves the compassionate ministry of restoring the spiritual, physical, emotional and social well-being through various community services, health programs and support group ministries. Discipling: Affirming continued spiritual growth and development of all members. We nurture the converted, instruct them in righteous living, train them for effective witness and encourage their responsive obedience to God’s Will.

Our Motto:

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.

Spread the Love! Share the Joy!
