Peace Conference at La Sierra next Sabbath

Next Sabbath, January 26th, at La Sierra University, the Adventist Women for Peace will be holding their 2nd Annual Peace Conference. The title of the Conference is "Making Peace in Times of War: Adventist Responses to Violence."

I will be speaking at 1:30 pm if anyone wants to come out and support! My title is "Peace and Justice as Evangelism in Hollywood." I'll be talking a little bit about what we're doing in Hollywood in terms of Peace & Justice ministry, but the focus will be on why we're doing this. Hint: it's not a strategy to bring more people into the church. So what could it be? You'll have to come out and find out.

Also, my good friend, Ron Osborn, will be speaking at 4:25 and his topic is "In Praise of a Modest Patriotism." Should be exciting!
