SNEC Youth and Young Adults Impact Stamford
 The youth, young adults, and other volunteers from across the Southern New England Conference met at Mill River Park in Stamford, Connecticut on August 24 for Impact Stamford. They reached out to the people in the city of Stamford with many acts of compassion that included a Health Fair, Kids' Village, literature distribution, praying with people, and giving free hugs. They also distributed more than 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to the school-aged children. The event concluded with a parade and an evening concert. David Dennis, Southern New England Conference president, posted this about Impact Stamford on his Facebook page "A very good face of the church was on display today. People were met, and some needs were met. Let us pray that this would be the start of a good relationship for these people with the Lord."

Adventist Web Series Depicting 'The Great Controversy' Wins 'Geekie Award'
 The trailer for a Steampunk Web series produced by the Seventh-day Adventist Church made headlines (on August 18) at the 1st Annual Geekie Awards in Hollywood, California, United States. "The Record Keeper," which dramatizes the epic struggle between good and evil, won the award in the "Best One-Shot" category for "Best Trailer." The "One-Shot" category recognizes episodes still in the final stages of post-production. Director Jason Satterlund and executive producer Garrett Caldwell accepted the award, accompanied by cast members Aris Juson and Jelynn Sophia. Advanced screenings of "The Record Keeper" are expected to begin in October, producers said. "We can't wait to show you the rest of the series," Caldwell said, acknowledging the role of co-creator Rajeev Sigamoney and the two other executive producers, Ben Schoun and Delbert Baker, both general vice presidents for the Adventist world church. "The Record Keeper" follows the story of Cadan (JuneSoo Ham) and Larus (Dennis Hill), two angels who struggle to maintain their friendship after universal civil war breaks out. Meanwhile, another angel, Raina (Lindsay Frame), pursues an accurate record of events while trying to make sense of the chaos.-- Source: Adventist News Network (ANN)READ the entire news article on Adventist News Network here »»Watch the winning trailer of "The Record Keeper" HERE.Watch the pilot episode of "The Record Keeper" HERE.Follow "The Record Keeper" on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TheRecordKeeper.
