The White Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church in Portland, Maine, is located just a few miles from Gorham, Maine, where Ellen G. White was born. The church is named in her honor.
Last Sabbath, June 6, Dr. David McKenzie, Executive Secretary of the Atlantic Union Conference, and his family shared in the church's Multicultural Day of Worship, where Dr. McKenzie presented the Divine Service message. In his sermon, he reflected on the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, reminded the congregation of where we are in earth's history, and pointed them to the blessed hope of Christ's soon return.
Following the service, they visited the town of Gorham and the site where Ellen G. White's childhood home once stood. What a remarkable and inspiring experience it was to visit a place so closely connected to one of the pioneers and the rich heritage of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
May we all remain faithful, keeping our hope firmly fixed on the soon coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
