The Columbia Union Conference coordinates the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s work in the Mid-Atlantic United States, where 150,000 members worship in 860 congregations.

God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one,
all-knowing yet all-forgiving.

Spencerville Church will hold Sabbath worship services on Saturday, August 10, at 11:30 a.m. in the auditorium of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, located at 12501 Old Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20904.
Statement from the International Pathfinder Camporee Leadership team:
Because the safety of all those gathered at the International Pathfinder Camporee is of utmost importance, the camporee leadership, in collaboration with North American Division union, division and international leadership, has reluctantly decided to finish the evening main stage nighttime program one day early, on Friday, August 9.
Severe thunderstorms, strong winds and hail are predicted for Sabbath late afternoon and evening. Every effort is being made to keep Pathfinders safe during the next few days.

On a black top, roughly 100 feet by 100 feet, 32 Columbia Union Conference drill and drum corps teams lined up on the International Pathfinder camporee campgrounds in Gillette, Wy. A packed audience, comprised of friends, family members, fellow club and church members, waited in anticipation, not wanting to miss a beat or step.
But the onlooking crowd would have to wait a few minutes longer.
