Teachers are responsible to make meaningful connections with every one of their students, not just the ones that they automatically connect with. A positive and healthy teacher-student relationship is key for optimum student outcomes,” says Alison Jobson, associate director of early childhood education for the Columbia Union Conference.

Taking a few minutes to show kindness. And a way to help and encourage each other on a Thursday through our Hands and Heart ministry with the weekly WGTS 91.9 Drive-Thru Difference. Whether you pay for someone behind you at the drive-thru or find another way to brighten someone’s day, you can be a part of this effort to make our communities better. This story from Brenda is a great example of how small acts of kindness can make a real difference and give you a blessing so you can bless others too.

A retirement and the pandemic inspired S. June and D. Robert Kennedy, seasoned authors and members of Allegheny East Conference's Emmanuel Worship Center in Alexandria, Va., to each add one more book to their publishing accomplishments.
June had recently retired when their son Robert III asked what she would do with all of
her “free” time. Initially she thought it might be a great opportunity to revise some of her earlier publications. Her son, however, encouraged her to find a new voice.
Their 12-year-old granddaughter, Britt, added, “I think you should write about how Pathfinders can be witnesses.”
Through the years, there have been many dynamic speakers and baptismal decisions made on the beautiful grounds of Valley Vista Adventist Center. We expect this year’s camp meeting to be the same, as the 2022 line-up of speakers and activities won’t disappoint.
To the hundreds and thousands of individuals who live around the camp community, we will have an open invitation on the first weekend to come to our Gospel Jamboree, featuring The Lesters, along with talented musicians from the Mountain View Conference. The rest of the week will follow with gospel presentations geared for the whole family.
