The story of the early church inspires the church to act more like Jesus today. Our church is spending 2025 in the Book of Acts. We begin this Sabbath with the first sermon in a yearlong series. Our prayer is that this will be more than a series of sermons. We want our church to act like Jesus! We pray for this story to be absorbed into the culture of our church and for the story of the Acts of the Holy Spirit to be continued here in Alaska.

You can find the schedule and resources for this sermon series at www.pastorryanrogers.com/acts 

Mission Playbook 2025

Our Mission Playbook includes our calendars and meeting schedules, our lists of leaders, church roles and job descriptions, and zoom links for meetings… it has it all! You can get your Mission Playbook at https://www.palmersda.org/media (scroll down)

Or find them in the lobby next week when we have them in print.

It didn’t matter whose kids they were. Virgina Spreen would say, “They are my kids. All of them.” For years, Virginia would write letters of encouragement to her kids. Maybe you received one of those letters.

The Outreach Team is reviving Virginia’s ministry. Virginia’s kids are still out there, and we want them to know that we still value them as part of this church family.

Here is how you can be involved…

1. If you know the current mailing address of a young person who has been connected with our church but is currently not attending, share that information with Carol Baker at [email protected].

2. If you would like to write cards of encouragement, contact Katie Arndt at [email protected].

3. If you want to be involved in the development of this outreach, come to the Outreach Team meeting on January 12 at 6 pm.

Palmer SDA Church, Saturday, January 11, 2pm

Scripture changes lives! We have the opportunity to connect others with God through the truth of the Bible. Our church is partnering with Discover Bible School to do social media advertising in our area so we can study the Bible with people. We expect that we will need many volunteers to meet the requests for Bible study. You can be one of them. Not sure if it’s for you? That’s fine. Come to the training on January 11. Representatives from Discover Bible School will be joining us by Zoom to train us on their system and how to give a Bible study. Hope to see you there.
