Stone Tower Church Announcements
Dale Goodson from Adventist Frontier Missions will be our guest speaker on March 23 for both adult Sabbath School and the church service.
Dale Goodson’s childhood was spent between Oregon, Ontario, and the Navajo Reservation. He started off his career with manual trades, always looking for practical ways to get the job done. While he enjoyed the trades, Dale had a passion for missions and ended up church planting for AFM in the New Guinea rainforest. Once again he looked for practical ways of communicating the gospel and discipling new believers. After several years of ministry, he realized there was a critical link between cultures, worldviews and discipleship that he had overlooked. Hundreds of hours of research revealed more effective ways to disciple people, and he has since written hundreds of pages on the subject. Twelve years and several churches and schools after he first stepped foot in New Guinea, Dale returned to the US, where he has been training missionaries ever since. Dale loves to write and is currently completing a three-book series on missions which should be in print this year.
Dale is happily married to Leticia. They have three living children and eleven grandchildren.
Etienne Dupon passed away on March 3. Our hearts go out to the Dupon family. A memorial service will be held at Stone Tower on April 7 at 1:00 pm. Please keep the family in your prayers.
The photography team is updating the photos in the church directory. If you have a new picture of you and/or your family, please feel free to update your photo(s) yourself. If you’d like us to take a new picture of you, please stay around a little while after church in the next few weeks and look for Michael Burgett, Josh Poulivaati, Gideon Magnuson or Renae Smith to help you.
