Local Announcements

These weeks approximately 50 Afghan refugees per week will be temporarily housed in hotels in Howard County and Baltimore City. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has reached out to the Adventist Church (ACS) seeking volunteers willing to welcome Afghan refugees and give them basic support in the form of food items. This opens a unique opportunity to make a difference. Ellen White saw the day when God in His providence would “thrust people into our arms.” That day is here! Click here to find out how you can help!
