Thrust into a New Reality

Have you ever watched a lake being restocked with fish? It is a fascinating and neat thing to watch.

You are especially invited to attend and participate in an orientation and training session on November 6 from 3-5 pm at South Tacoma Adventist Fellowship (additional training times and locations can be arranged, too).

Invest in Students' Artistic Expression

Because of the pandemic, we don’t have many opportunities for the greater school community to walk the halls of a school or even collectively gather for the well-loved arts and music festival typically held at the end of February. Our schools in western Washington have gotten creative in posting student artwork on Facebook and this is allowing the school community to appreciate students’ artistic expression. It’s a great way to still stay connected!

We highly encourage you to like, follow, and interact with Adventist schools on Facebook. You will see beautiful photos, experiences, and artistry - and your reactions and comments will encourage young artists and scholars to keep striving for more.

Locate the Adventist school nearest you and get to know them better on Facebook.

Invest in the "extras" of a quality Adventist Christian Education!

RSVP for Committee of 100
We have a high level of vaccination in the State of Washington, and we are still in a pandemic where good health and safety habits are still important.
 
  • Whatever your vaccination status and over the age of 5, please wear a mask at church.
  • If you are gathered for a small group and everyone in attendance is vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask (especially if outdoors).
  • If you visit a school campus or community service center, please wear a mask and cooperate with the local health screening process.
As always, kindness and grace to each other in our interactions goes a long way.
