They put a human face on issues and ideas. Sharing your &ldquo;story&rdquo; is just another way to talk about sharing your &ldquo;testimony.&rdquo; As Seventh-day Adventist Christians, we have some beautiful teachings about Jesus that we feel compelled to share with our friends (and the world). When we combine a biblical teaching with our testimony about how that teaching has impacted us, it&rsquo;s a powerful combination to help transform human lives. Let&rsquo;s reflect so we can each be equipped to share our story.</p> Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:46:56 +0000 All Nations SDA Church Service, Aug. 30 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68269 <p> Join the All Nations Seventh-day Adventist Church for our Communication Sabbath, Aug. 30, at 11:45 a.m., as Kaara Harris presents &quot;Persuasive Power: Winning Hearts Not Arguments.&quot; Adult and Children's Sabbath School begins at 10:30 a.m. We will have a fellowship luncheon followed by an afternoon program on &quot;Communication Skills.&quot; We look forward to seeing you there!</p> <p> Upcoming Events:</p> <ol> <li> Tuesday, Sept. 2: In-Person Fellowship at 7 p.m. Come sing, study and pray with us!</li> <li> Wednesday, Sept. 3: Midweek Refresh at 7 p.m. via Zoom</li> <li> Friday, Sept. 5: Friday Night Prayer Meeting at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom</li> <li> Saturday, Sept. 6: Prison Ministry Sabbath at 11:45 a.m.</li> <li> Tuesday, Sept. 9: Life Line Screening Event at ANC</li> <li> Saturday, Sept. 13: No Church Service due to LRC 80th Anniversary</li> <li> Saturday, Sept. 20: Jamaican Sabbath at 11:45 a.m.</li> <li> Sunday, Sept. 21: Food Pantry Distribution from 1:30&ndash;3:30 p.m. while supplies last</li> <li> Saturday, Sept. 27: Sabbath School Breakfast at 9:45 a.m.</li> <li> Saturday, Sept. 27: Communion Sabbath at 11:45 a.m.</li> </ol> <p> The All Nations Seventh-day Adventist Church is located at 4259 E.
