United Church of God Sabbath services: Cincinnati East, Ohio PM congregation - May 11, 2024.
Ambassador Bible College Chorale
Sermon: Darris McNeely
Hope in Times of Trouble
When I was young world conditions seemed to be moving toward a prophetic conclusion. Yet, I chose to live my life in a big ceiling room with large windows letting in light. I choose to live with a positive hope. How did I do this? How can a young person do the same today?
Darris McNeely works at the United Church of God home office in Cincinnati, Ohio. He and his wife, Debbie, have served in the ministry for more than 43 years.

He enjoys hunting, travel and reading and spending time with his grandchildren.
The Feast of Trumpets teaches us that Jesus Christ will visibly return to the earth at the end of this age. At that time He will resurrect the saints who are no longer living and instantly change those saints who are still alive to immortal spirit beings (Matthew 24:31; 1 Corinthians 15:52-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). This festival commemorates the blowing of the trumpets that will precede His return. Seven angels with seven trumpets are described in Revelation 8-10. Christ will return with the blowing of the seventh trumpet (Revelation 11:15). The Feast of Trumpets depicts the return of Jesus Christ to earth to establish the Kingdom of God.

Trumpets services are Thursday, October 3, at 2:00 pm. Central Oregon, Medford and Roseburg will combine and meet at the Diamond Lake Resort, which is the same distance from all three congregations. Bear in mind there are stairs to climb as the room is upstairs, but for those who cannot do that there is a way to take the elevator and a UCG greeter will help you with that. There is an upstairs restroom available.
We will have a potluck meal after services, and Diamond Lake will provide coffee and ice water service. There are limited outlets and we will not have access to a kitchen. Set up can arrive at 1:00 pm, services at 2:00 pm, and we must leave by 6:00 pm.
We will not be having services at our usual location.
Please remember your holy day offering envelopes.
