A new Member Letter (September 2017) has been mailed to our subscribers and is now posted on our webpage. In this letter, Pastor Brian Gale points to the upcoming fall Holy Days with a heartfelt and sobering reminder of the many who are no longer observing any of God’s Holy Days.
“WHY Unprecedented Hurricanes and Wildfires?” is the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:
Hurricane Harvey—a Category 4 Storm! Hurricane Irma—a Category 5 Storm and the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history… Largest wildfire in LA history… Wildfires in the U.S. West have burned 50 percent more than during the same period in 2016! WHY? Can all of these “natural disasters” be explained by mere coincidence? Or are spiritual reasons involved?
A Tech Team meeting was conducted on Sunday morning, September 3rd, via SKYPE. Hosted by Eric Rank, items discussed included further development of the French web pages, podcasts, backup plans for our websites and various equipment needs both locally and for the Feast.
The US Feast Brochure (2017) and the German Feast Brochure (2017) are now posted on our websites.

“The Place,” last Sabbath’s sermonette presented by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:
God puts great importance in the very specific instructions He has given concerning our worship of Him—locations are designated and even our individual roles are defined.
“Giving Up is Not Quitting!” last Sabbath’s sermon presented by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:
We must be willing to give up everything our carnal eyes see as precious in order to gain what truly is important. But giving up our old ways isn’t a one-time action as we begin our spiritual career. We must purge, on a daily basis, anything that draws us nearer to our carnal desires and away from God.
