Our parking lot will be resurfaced this week! Here are three key facts to be up to speed on:

1. You will not be able to drive into the parking lot most of the week. If you absolutely must access the church, you will need to walk onto the property and use an entrance that does not require you to walk on the resurfaced area.

2. We do not have a worship service in the church building on Sabbath, June 7. Come worship at the church campout at Camp Tuk. There will also be no midweek meetings.

3. We are raising funds to cover the cost of the resurfacing. Donate online at https://adventistgiving.org/#/org/ANI4DL/envelope/start under the “Parking Lot Paving” line. Or mark your donation on a tithe envelope.

Attention Youth! 

Pastor Winslow, the Kovalenkos and speaker Armondo Miranda, NAD Associate Youth Director, hope to see you a day early!  Camp meeting starts July 25, but we want to add a day of youth programming. If 10 youth sign up and pay the $20 participation fee by June 21, youth programming will begin on Thursday July 24, at 7 pm. Friday will be the traditional Camp Tuk Excursion (the $20 non-refundable fee helps make the Tuk outing possible). Regardless of whether there is an early start Thursday, youth will meet Friday evening.  Registration opens June 1 at www.alaskaconference.org!

Send a Postcard

We have a reunion weekend for the Palmer Church and AGA on September 12-14. Help us bring people together by sending an invitation postcard (available in chruch lobby).
