During ages of spiritual darkness the church of God has been as a city set on a hill. From age to age, through successive generations, the pure doctrines of heaven have been unfolding, within its borders. Enfeebled and defective as it may appear, the church is the one object upon which God bestows in a special sense His supreme regard. It is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to reveal His power to transform hearts.

-Ellen White,
"Acts of the Apostles", page 12

 
 
 
 

 

MUSIC NOTE

Please join me in welcoming two student musicians from our own fertile Walla Walla valley. It is a special pleasure to hear Jake Willard today, and if we’re lucky, we may get to hear him play once more before he returns to his studies at Andrews University. We also welcome Elise Kinne, a graduating WWU music major who, all too soon, will move to southern California. We also thank Schuan Carpenter who leads our Summer Light praise band.

Jake performs two movements of Cello Sonata No.1
in E Minor, Op.38 by Johannes Brahms (1833–1897). Brahms was about 30 years old when he wrote this sonata in homage to Johann Sebastian Bach (1685– 1750), using parts of the Baroque masters’ "The Art of Fugue" in two of the movements. It is especially fitting, therefore, to hear Elise Kinne perform a prelude and fugue by Bach.

As you prepare to worship, please take some time to contemplate the unusually moving text of Hymn no.467 by Brian Wren (b.1936) which he titled
“A Song of Love and Living.” The second stanza is given here.

Life is great!—whatever happens,
Snow or sunshine, joy or pain,
Hardship, grief or disillusion,
Suffering that I can’t explain—

Life is great if someone loves me,
Holds my hands and calls my name.

-Kraig Scott

GIVE

The University Church budget funds many important aspects of our local ministry. Although pastors' salaries are funded by donations marked "tithe", the University Church budget is what subsidizes our amazing K-12 school programs at Walla Walla Valley Academy and Rogers Adventist School. It also makes our worship services and broadcast ministry possible. Thank you for your generous and systematic support!

As always - we welcome your gifts made right here on our website. Click Here to Give!
