A bi-weekly e-newsletter for members and employees 
of the Nevada-Utah Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
from NUC President Leon B. Brown, Sr.
‘ Love is the Centerpiece of our Hope ’
 
In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus left a precious gift. Jesus’ response to the lawyer’s query: “ …Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” was “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. ’This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.’”
 
In the midst of this great test we are currently living through, we must not allow our love for each other and for God to wane. The apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13:7 that “…Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”. We need more LOVE today. That’s the one gift that will keep us together and will give us HOPE.


Elder Leon B. Brown, Sr.,
Nevada-Utah Conference President

Remember, that just because you may be interacting with your local church from home, does not mean that you cannot turn in your tithes and offerings. There are still several ways to remain faithful to God in these unique circumstances:
  • Give online - by now your church should have a link to online giving on their website. If you have trouble finding the link, please contact your pastor. Click to watch an English/Spanish in-depth video tutorial of how to give online if this is something new for you.
  • Mail a check to your church.
  • Check with your church to find out if there are other options such as a drop off site or having it picked up.


Please continue to pray for our health and safety—and for all those who are personally impacted by this virus. Your prayerful support is a critical factor in the overall health of our churches and the communities we serve.
