My dear Reform Movement church family,
May this letter find each one of you under God’s loving care.
Looking back to 2021
As we approach both the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, we are given the opportunity to look back and thank God for material and spiritual blessings received during this past year, for obstacles overcome, for daily sustaining grace, for life in this world and for the assurance of eternal life provided for us on Calvary.
Toronto, Canada—Our church in Eastern Canada will remember the summer of 2021 as a summer that was different from any other. In the beginning, everything looked promising: The COVID-19 measures became somewhat relaxed, allowing for the planning of several youth activities. In July, the youth went on a camping trip to the scenic Algonquin Provincial Park in Northern Ontario.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada—On October 2, 2021, the brethren from our churches in Montreal and Ottawa united to celebrate the baptism of two souls.
Sister Beraca and Sister Claudine were baptized and fellowshipped into the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement church. Their respective families and friends gathered with the church members in this day of rejoicing.
The baptism was performed by Brother Etienne Lombard, assisted by Brother George Schiopu.
Linares, Chile—From December 8-10, 2021, the brethren in the Chilean Union held their Reorganization Session in Linares, in the Maule Region. The theme of the session was "Under God's Care".
Cochabamba, Bolivia—On the first weekend of November, the brethren in Bolivia celebrated the inauguration of the Bolivian Union Headquarters in Cochabamba. It was a weekend of praise and blessings.
