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. We provide administrative support to eight conferences; two healthcare networks; 81 early childhood, elementary and secondary schools; a liberal arts university; a health sciences college; a 49 community services centers; 8 camps; 5 book and health food stores and a radio station.
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.

Cette année, Christian Record Services, Inc., (CRS) célèbre ses 120 ans de ministère auprès des aveugles.
Au tout début, Christian Record était le nom du magazine CRS’ Braille. Il s’agissait du seul magazine braille destiné aux chrétiens publié en 1899. Ce nom a été repris par l’organisation à but non lucratif, qui offre également de nombreux services, ainsi que ses magazine destinés aux personnes aveugles. Christian Record tient encore aujourd’hui ses publications.

Este año, Christian Record Services, Inc., (CRS) celebra 120 años de ministerio para los ciegos.
Al principio, Christian Record era el nombre de la revista en Braille de CRS. Fue la única revista en Braille centrada en el cristianismo publicada en 1899. El nombre se transfirió a la organización sin fines de lucro que ahora también brinda muchos servicios, junto con sus revistas, para las personas ciegas. Christian Record todavía se publica hoy.
Christian Record abrió el camino para muchas otras innovaciones y servicios que juntos inspiran y transforman vidas. Fue la primera organización en ofrecer un campamento para ciegos, a partir de los años sesenta.

Have you ever seen a miracle?” When asked, we often stand with a blank look on our faces as we rummage in our memories to find one. God admonished the children of Israel, “Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them” (Deut. 4:9, NIV).
