Bulletin
SERMON PREPARATION: Today we have reached Revelation 14, a chapter very familiar to most Adventists as it contains the messages of three angels. It is part of a section (Revelation 14–16) focusing on the Lamb’s response to the Dragon and his human agents of Revelation 13. The Lamb has an army (the 144,000) who join the Lamb in a victory over the evil powers by demonstrating self-sacrificial love. Please watch this video carefully in preparation for today’s sermon.
SABBATH SCHOOL DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What do stories of people who have been martyred for their faith in Christ mean to you?
What does self-sacrificial love look like in our context of time and place?
SABBATH PRAYER TIME: Join us at 9:15 a.m. in the “Engine Room” — below the church platform.
WEDNESDAY PRAYER TIME: Join us on Zoom at 7 p.m. for study and discussion of Ephesians, followed by a time of prayer.
CHURCH BUSINESS MEETING RECAP: Thank you to everyone who attended last Saturday evening’s church business meeting, either in-person or online. The following items were presented:
The board elected Pat S as treasurer, effective January 2027.
Kevin W and Laura P indicated they had chosen not to be re-elected to the board when their terms end Dec. 31, 2026. Martin L and Teryl M were nominated to join the board and Keith Er was re-nominated for another two-year term. These recommendations were approved unanimously.
Two elder positions will now need to be filled: (1) administrative elder and (2) outreach elder (a position that has remained vacant this year. Please prayerfully consider if you are willing to serve in either of these capacities.
Proposed Church Bylaw changes were discussed, and motions were made for additional adjustments and passed (see attached overview).
If you have any questions, please talk with any current board members (Kevin, Laura, Jesse, Pat, Keith).
SAA BIDS & BITES AUCTION: Sunday, Nov. 8, 3 p.m., SAA Auditorium. Contact [email protected] or (360) 755-9261 for tickets, which are $25/person. This year, we’re trading the traditional live auction for an elegant and relaxed afternoon of Bids & Bites — an event filled with delicious appetizers, great conversation, fun auction finds, and plenty of time to simply enjoy being together. Our goal is simple: we want everyone to feel welcome. We are also looking for auction item donations. Please contact local businesses for donations or contribute using your own unique skills, hobbies, and talents! Whether you come ready to bid, hoping to discover something special, or are simply looking forward to time with friends and fellow school families, there is a place for you at Bids & Bites. Invite your family and friends, dress up a little, and join us! Thank you for your support of Skagit Adventist Academy.
AAF LADIES BOOK CLUB: Two books for our next meeting have been chosen: The first book is "Same Kind of Different as Me" — a memoir by Ron Hall, Denver Moore and Lynn Vincent. There is also a movie based on the book that we may watch following the discussion. The second book is "The Lost Apothecary" — a historical fiction and mystery novel by Sarah Penner. Date and location to be determined.
LUNCH BUNCH SIGNUP: Our church family strives to provide a meal for our visitors and guests each week following the service. Please invite a friend and sign up together to prepare food and host our guests! You will meet the nicest people!!
