This Morning's message is Happy is Healthy. For our Thanksgiving Sabbath, we have a message focused on gratitude. Gratitude or thankfulness affects our spirituality, emotions and our physical body as well. After all, the Bible says, "a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones" (Proverbs 17:22)
Next Week Elder Gerard Kiemeney will share the message, The Value of One. Dr. Kiemeney is the LA Metro Region Director of the Southern California Conference, and his message will be on the impact that one person can have when sent by God.
