 Temporary Housing Needed - My name is Grace Naluwagga and I

am 20 years old. I am a university student and I live in England. I was
born in an Adventist home and I regularly attend my church every
week. I will be traveling to the United States this year for a short
holiday and I am requesting church members if they would be willing
to accommodate me and a friend of mine. We will be staying in
Washington from the 11th August- 18th September and then move on
to another state. I am hope that there may be any members willing to
accommodate us for this period. Our basic requirements would
basically be space to sleep and have a bath (preferably with a family
because of safety). I will be contributing towards food and if anyone is
willing to help then please contact me on my email address at
grace_n_91@hotmail.com.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

 Health and Temperance - Got water? Water does a body good. How
well does your water treat your body? How much of that water actually
gets into your cells to keep you healthy and well? Did your water make
the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) passing grade list?
Come out to the Kangen water presentation on March 12 at 3 pm and
get the answers. Invite your family and friends. Change your water -
Change your life.
 To All Ministry leaders and their assistants: There is a new spirit of
cooperation in First SDA church!! You are an essential part of this new
Spirit filled initiative. Coming Sabbath, March 26: 5:00 P.M. –9:00
P.M There will be a Prayer Vigil and Anointing Service for the Whole
Church but especially for the Ministries. Please get your goals and
your team together. They will be prayed for and anointed. Each
ministry will be allowed 2 minutes to say what you are about and 5
minutes when the different prayer groups will pray for your ministry
and your goals. It is important that ALL MINISTRIES be involved.
Please also invite your families and friends whether they are of your
Faith or not. When God’s people are united in prayer wonderful and
mighty things happen. If you do not believe me, read Acts 4:23-31, and
especially vs. 31. God is anxiously waiting to bless us if we are on one
accord. ~Elder Curla Walters

We Believe…
 Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, provides salvation and eternal life now. Galatians
2:20; Hebrews 12:1, 2; Philippians 2:5-8; I John 5:11-13.
 There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. II Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2.
 The Bible is the only rule of faith and practice. II Timothy 2:15; II Peter 1:19-21.
 The Ten Commandments reveal God's will, sin, and reminds all their need of a savior.
Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 5:12-15; Galatians 3:22-24.
 The Seventh-day Sabbath, is a binding part of God’s unchanging and perpetual law, and
has been made for our holistic benefit. Exodus 20:8-11; Deutoronomy 5:12-15;
Hebrews 4:9-11.
 One who is justified by faith, God declares righteous on the ground of Jesus Christ's
substitutionary life and death. Romans 4:3-5; Galatians 3:7-11.
 The fruit of the Gospel includes the new birth and progressive sanctification until
glorification at the day of Jesus Christ. John 3:1-7; Acts 2:37, 38; Romans 6:1-6.
 God writes His law upon the hearts and minds of believers in Jesus by His Holy Spirit.
James 2:10-12; Hebrews 8:7-10; 2 Corinthinians 3:3.
 One becomes a member of Jesus’ body, the Church, by faith. I Corinthians 12:13;
Ephesians 2:13.
 Participation in Jesus’ body includes baptism, worship, the Lord's Supper and spiritual
gifts. Ephesians 4:8,11; Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:23-29; Hebrews 10:22-25.
 The Christian life is a personal relationship with Christ by committing one's self, time,
talents, possessions including (tithe and offerings), health, and influence to God.
Malachi 3:8-12; Matthew 23:23; I Corinthians 3:16, 17; Deuteronomy 14:3-20.
 The quality of life in this present world is enhanced by following the principles of
health – proper Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Fresh Air, Rest, and
Trust in God. 1 Corinthinans 6:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
 Believers do not personally appear in judgment because Jesus, the Mediator, presents
them as righteous in Himself. Romans 8:1-4; I John 2:1, 2.
 Jesus’ literal, personal, visible, and imminent second coming is our blessed hope for
transitioning from a deteriorating world condition to the pristine purity of God’s
glorious earth made new. Titus 2:13; John 14:1-3.
 The dead remain in their grave, unconscious to anything under the sun, until either the
resurrection of life or condemnation. Ecclesiates 9:5, 6; John 5:28, 29; Revelations
20:10.
 Believers receive immortality at Christ's return and the wicked eternal death at the
Millennium’s end as the new earth becomes the saint's possession forever. John 14:1-3;
Daniel 7:18,22,27; Psalms 37:10, 11, 29: I Thessalonians 4:16, 17.
 Seventh-day Adventists are called to announce Christ's return to the world by
proclaiming the Gospel. Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; Revelations 10:8-11; 14:6-11.
