Sunday, August 9th, at 12pm the wedding ceremony of Ilyin Rivera and Claude Mapp was held at Beavercreek Seventh-day Adventist Church.  The wedding was beautiful.  Fluffy white tulle lined the center isle that was garnished with white bows.  There were stunning white roses and greenery in a bouquet in the foyer and on the organ. Faith Barney played the organ and Jeremiah Grissom played the trumpet.  Elias played a solo on his saxophone.  There was a guitar duet, and scripture readings, and Ilyin’s mom Gloria sang a duet “Cherish The Treasure” .  The groom’s mother shared special memories of her son. The happy bride and groom were joined by their individual families and Ilyin’s church family to celebrate this special day.  We wish them much joy and happiness as they embark on this life long journey.

We are very excited about our excursion to central Ohio for a visit to a life-sized model of the Wilderness Sanctuary. We have been studying the Sanctuary and it services in one of our Sabbath School classes and this is perfectly timed. The exhibit is being sponsored by the Fredericktown Seventh-day Adventist Church. We learned many interesting things about the Sanctuary service, how it all points to Jesus and how relevant it is to our lives today. [nggallery id=2]
