Erie Seventh-day Adventist Church

Hi Everyone, Don't forget, we have an especially intriguing subject for our Bible Prophecy Small Group this evening at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. This is where Jake Benke will dive into Daniel 7. I can assure you that all the previous studies have been rich, detailed pictures of prophecy and types in Scripture. The background that Jake's provided makes each new step more exciting as you see prophecy unfold powerfully!

I've learned a lot, and I know you will too! I wanted to especially highlight this evening since this is a subject of special interest to Jake and it's a cornerstone chapter for understanding Bible Prophecy in the Adventist Church. Please plan on joining us!

Send me a Facebook message or comment if you would like me to send you the Zoom Invite Link or Phone Number. Blessings!

Hi Everyone,

I know this is short notice, but we would love to have a get-together with you all this coming Sabbath evening at the School. We'll start with a vespers worship time at 6 pm, then transition into a light, simple meal of popcorn and fruit and chips and then start the games around 7:30 pm after sunset.

Here's the link again for contributing food:

Also, Pastor Jesse Ravencroft will be joining us to share a vespers message at 6 pm. Many of you know him from the Amazing Prophecies Series that we did last November at the Theater and at Erie. We'll meet in the school gym for his presentation and then enjoy some food and games! See you there!

Hi Everyone,
I just want to send this out to you before any more time passes since it's coming up fast (it kind of snuck up on me!). I'm participating in a conference mission trip over in the Philippines from March 20 to April 2. I will be preaching a 10-day evangelistic series while I'm there and helping to train the local pastors in evangelism.

I'm working on making sure there's a plan in place for sermons while I'm gone.

I'll send out an event list for the church calendar later this week as well. I'll do my best to keep it updated, of course. I'll also be sending out emails each month with updates on events.

Hi Everyone, Can you believe it! January 2025 is just two days away! This year has been a big roller coaster ride in a lot of ways, but I’ve also been touched by God’s blessings again and again. I’m looking forward to what God is going to do this coming year! I’m looking forward to us meetin...

Hi Friends! Special announcement for this coming Sabbath below...
Now more than ever, God’s people will be effective in doing the will of God in direct proportion to the time they spend in His presence. In a time of great social upheaval, rising hatred, wars, and natural disasters, we cannot afford to be disconnected from God nor lacking in the power of the Holy Spirit. On Sabbath, January 4, Dwain N. Esmond, associate director of the Ellen G. White Estate, will call churches across Pennsylvania Back to the Altar, where we are transformed and renewed for God’s mission during each church’s worship service.

Meeting Times for Each Church:

Lowville Church - 9:15 am (John Love speaking)
Erie Church - 9:30 am (Sabbath School), 11:00 am (Video with Dwain N. Esmond)
Seneca Church - 1:00 pm (Sabbath School), 2:00 pm (Video with Dwain N. Esmond)

We’ll also have a week of prayer starting that Sabbath evening as well. The prayer sessions will start with the Columbia Union prayer gathering on Zoom at 4 pm and then resume at 7:00 each morning and evening on Zoom for our district up until January 11. Materials for this week are available at paconference.org/pray and unite to pray in one accord with members around the world. (Resources are available in both English and Spanish. For other languages, go to tendaysofprayer.org.)
At 4:00 p.m., churches across the Columbia Union will gather via Zoom for an afternoon prayer rally. We are starting 2025 with a commitment to pray, worship, and share the gospel. Throughout the year, the Columbia Union Conference will pray and prepare for Pentecost 2025 with special events, prayer times, training, and monthly prayer focuses.

Christmas Greetings! I have a new appreciation for the words “blizzard warning” now! This last week has been beautiful, but also a challenging week for shoveling and traveling. I hope you all are safe and warm at the moment as we see what’s in store this winter. Thankfully the roads are mostly...

We're planning on having church tomorrow! We'll just meet for the worship service at 11 am, no Sabbath School at 9:30. Please be extremely careful on the roads if you decide to come. If you don't feel comfortable making the trip, please don't worry--we totally understand if you need to stay home 🙂 We'll just have a simple service with whomever can come. Blessings!
