Chesapeake Conference

Story by Evan Knott

The Triadelphia church in Clarksville, Md., recently celebrated 50 years of ministry in Howard County, marking half a century since its founding members began construction on its current building. Before moving to its current site, the congregation held services at the Glenelg Methodist Church during the initial years after members began meeting in 1967.

Twenty-two members from the New Hope church in Fulton, Md., recently embarked on a mission trip to Grenada, aimed at not only providing immediate services but also building ongoing relationships with the local Grenadian community.

In collaboration with the Grenadian Conference, the New Hope team hosted three health fairs, offering locals free medical screenings and consultations. To ensure that every family member could benefit, the team also provided kids’ programming.

The start of a school year brings new challenges, opportunities and stresses. Establishing a solid foundation for success is paramount. Hence, the high schoolers at Chesapeake Conference's Spencerville Adventist Academy (SAA) began their school year at SAA’s annual high school spiritual retreat, focusing together on the promise found in Philippians: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (4:13, NKJV).
