Connecting Columbia Union Seventh-day Adventists

July 2014

The Pittsburgh church’s community service outreach has tripled since 2008, with an estimated 70 percent of its members involved. Jeanette Dare, ACS director for the Pennsylvania Conference, recognized the accomplishment and presented Pastor Dennis Austin with the annual Adventist Community Service (ACS) award during a special presentation at Pennsylvania Conference Camp Meeting.

Again this year, Washington Adventist Hospital (WAH) in Takoma Park, Md., provided free health screenings and wellness education as a sponsor of Telemundo Washington’s sixth annual “Fiesta de las Madres” event. The event takes place each year in downtown Silver Spring.
