TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to Milton Adventist!
If you are new with us today we would love to know who you are. Please fill out a GETTING TO KNOW YOU communication card which
you will find in the pew rack in front of you.
Please share your prayer requests or suggestions on the
communication card and place it in the offering plate or hand it to
one of the church staff. We want to serve you in any way possible.
If you wish a CD of the morning sermon please write your request
on the CD Ministry Order Envelope available at the information desk
or church office. You may drop the envelope in the offering or at the
church office with a suggested donation of $3 per CD.
We have assisted listening devices and lap blankets available at the
Information Desk in the foyer.
The “loose offering” always goes for the Milton Church Budget. If
you want to give specifically to any other ministry you must place it
in the Giving Envelope and write the name of the ministry.
Why We Live
At the Milton Seventh-day Adventist Church we live to glorify God. He
is our Creator, Savior and Friend. There is no greater joy in life than
really knowing God personally. We live for Him and… we live to
introduce others to our Best Friend too!

Welcome to Worship
If our General Conference 60th Session reminds us of anything, it
is that the Milton Adventist Church is part a global church—composed of
diverse cultures and perspective—worshipping our Living God. We are
“the body of Christ”—“the family of God”. We are commissioned by Him
to take the Gospel, in the context of Revelation’s Three Angels’ Messages,
to the entire world. Are we diverse? Yes! Do we have different
perspectives? Yes! Are we united in Christ? Yes! Let us be patient—and
loving—with each other as we work together to fulfill God’s calling.
