VOLUNTEERS FROM ARVADA BRING AID TO UKRAINE

Miloš Tomić – Arvada, Colorado … On September 20, nine volunteers from Arvada Adventist Church, Arvada Indonesian Adventist Church and North Hills Adventist Church from California met in Warsaw, Poland, and headed toward the Ukraine border. The week they spent there was very demanding physically, mentally, and especially, emotionally.

The refugee center in Mlyniv, Ukraine that works with orphans and widows of war had a blown heater boiler, damaged chimney, and no firewood for the upcoming winter. This guaranteed them a harsh and cold wintertime. The Arvada team made sure that none of these things is an issue anymore, and the kids will have warm rooms to enjoy.

MILE HIGH ACADEMY WELCOMES ALUMNI HOME

Jocelyn Aalborg – Highlands Ranch, Colorado … Just a few weeks ago, Mile High Academy (MHA) welcomed honor classes and alumni home for its annual alumni festivities.

The weekend began with Grandparents Day on Friday, September 23. More than 100 grandparents enjoyed the morning with light refreshments and time in the classroom with their grandchildren. A special all-school chapel was held on the soccer field, with a student-led song service and a special worship thought by grandparent and former Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) superintendent of schools, Lonnie Hetterle. Grandparents enjoyed time with their students and were given suncatchers as gifts to commemorate the day.

DINOSAURS AMAZE AND STARS ASTONISH DURING CREATION PROGRAM AT POWELL

Samantha Nelson – Powell, Wyoming … A special event was hosted by the Powell Seventh-day Adventist Church on September 25-27 when Creation Truth Foundation* President Matt Miles gave a series of presentations on Creation, dinosaurs, the Flood, and biblical astronomy. Attendance averaged in the 30s with approximately half of the attendees during each seminar from the local community.

One woman who attended all the programs with her daughter, said they were fascinating and very educational. Others commented on how amazing it was to see the life-size dinosaurs and fossils. The night of the grand finale gave opportunity for everyone to line up at the telescope to see Jupiter and other planets. Unfortunately, the clouds kept Saturn covered during the event, but it was, nonetheless, spectacular to see the glory of God’s creation!

NEW SCHOOL BRANDING UNVEILED AT MILE HIGH ACADEMY

MHANews – Highlands Ranch, Colorado … Mile High Academy (MHA) recently unveiled its new branding campaign during the school’s annual Walk-A-Thon event.

“Our goal [for the campaign] was to create something that reflects the school’s forward momentum and to build visibility and recognition across our community,” said Andrew Carpenter, MHA principal.

Updates to the logos came after input from stakeholders in the form of surveys, individual interviews, and group engagement sessions. The strongest feedback was that the visual identity must clearly articulate and define MHA as a school.

THOUGHTS ON THE IMPACT OF RMC’S RECENT VOTE ON WOMEN’S ORDINATION

Mic Thurber – Denver, Colorado … After our constituency vote to send the names of both men and women to the Mid-America Union for ordination, a few questions are left over. We might uncover additional questions as we live longer with it but for now I thought I’d share a few thoughts with you. Here is a short list of things I will mention:

As has already been reported in NewsNuggets, the Executive Committee may develop a policy on how conference workers will relate to the action we took, but in the meantime your Rocky Mountain Conference administration has put forward a set of assurances that includes that no pastor will lose his or her position in ministry because of their personal views on women’s ordination; nor will their potential for advancement within the conference be limited because of it.
