For the last two and a half years, we’ve learned the hard way what happens when a worldwide pandemic shows up at church. While the vestiges of COVID are still with us, Seventh-day Adventist congregations within the Pacific Union Conference are reflecting on what happened, where they are today, and how to do church in a post-pandemic world. Check out this latest video from Church Support Services.

We loved this story about Redwood Adventist Academy students! Mark West Creek in Santa Rosa is flowing once again—not from rain, but from the ground beneath it. Earthquakes usually bring dread and damage. But the Santa Rosa quakes on September 14th also brought a watery surprise.

Local television news featured the kindergartners as well as the first- and second-graders of Redwood Adventist Academy as they played and learned in Mark West Creek. This creek is now a wonder of nature, made so by the magnitude 4+ earthquakes that rocked Santa Rosa. The link to the delightful news video from KTVU Fox2 is below:
