WORSHIP THIS SABBATH

Today, Nov. 15 at 7:30pm in the CVC Sanctuary there will be a spiritual dedication of Dr. Bazan by Union Adventist University and our community. We will have a chance to worship and pray over her as she accepts the spiritual responsibility of being a Godly leader in our community. You are invited to come and pray and dedicate our new Union Adventist University President. At the request of UAU, we strongly encourage all to dress nicely.
The 2024 UAU George Gibson Lecture Series is featuring Dr. Sigve Tonstad, MD/PhD. Distinguished physician, theologian, and scholar, Tonstad has a background in both internal medicine and theology. Exploring topics at the intersection of faith and science, he has authored numerous articles and books, and will be presenting at CVC/UAU. All are free and open to the public.
Sabbath, November 16, 11am, Sanctuary (CVC): "The Crisis in the Heavenly Council" (Rev. 5:1-3) Heaven is supposed to have the solution to earth's problem. What are we to say when heaven has a problem?
Sabbath, November 16, 4pm, Heartland Hall (CVC): "Silence in Heaven for about Half an Hour - Why?" (Rev. 8:1) Revelation is a noisy book. Why does everyone suddenly fall silent (you and me, too)?
