Pastor Writes New Book 
This one is especially for Moms
You'll Laugh About This Someday, by Melissa Howell - Mother of four and Family Life pastor of the Carmichael Adventist Church in Sacramento, Melissa Howell speaks to the mess of madness and mayhem that is life with littles. She says, "God calls me into His presence to be still.'Be still and know that I am God,' He invites (Psalm 46:10, NIV)....
This is good news for those of us in mommy-land, who find stillness
and quiet hard commodities to come by. Because it means that even if
our surroundings are in chaos, our souls can be anchored deep in the
stillness that comes from certainty in God's power."

This book is filled with humor, life lessons, and deeply spiritual
insights into the world of motherhood that will encourage and bless
moms everywhere. It's not your typical devotional book. But then
again, there's nothing typical about the adventure we call motherhood!
Available at your Adventist Book Center and online. Price US$16.99

Camp Morning Star
Enjoying the Outdoors
Spending time in nature and the great outdoors provides opportunities for us to refresh our spirits and recharge our spiritual batteries. Seventh-day Adventist member Pat Baker had a vision for an old non-functioning youth camp in the Barton Flats area of San Bernardino National Forest. This has been an outreach project for Pat because most of the groups that come to Morning Star are from outside of the Adventist denomination.
