***** Camp Meeting Fundraising Update: *****
As we enter the final month of crowdfunding for Camp Meeting 2025, our latest financial reports show that we have raised just over $118,000 of our $390,000 goal! These final weeks are a crucial time for us to come together and ensure that this event will be possible this year.
As Oregon Conference VP for Education, Ron Jacaban, shared:
“We often look at big achievements – a successful business, a major scientific breakthrough, or a movement that changes the world – and think they happen because of a few extraordinary individuals. But the truth is, big things happen because of the small, consistent contributions of many people.
Think about a puzzle. Each piece on its own may not seem significant, but together they create a complete picture! The same applies to us. No matter who you are or what role you play, your actions, no matter how small, contribute to something greater.
Camp Meeting 2025 is a huge project, and each of us can contribute in our own ways. Whether it’s financially, or volunteering, or spreading the news in your own community and inviting your neighbors, we can come together to make this project great!
Thanks to a generous gift, each dollar given right now will be doubled, up to $150,000. Make your dollars go farther and help our members, young and old, make special memories at this year’s camp meeting by giving today! Give online right now through AdventistGiving.org or write “Gladstone Camp Meeting” on your tithe envelope.

What Does a Prayer Weigh?
A poorly dressed lady walked into a grocery store. She looked defeated. She approached the owner and humbly asked if he would let her charge a few groceries. She quietly explained that her husband was very sick and unable to work. They had seven children and they needed food. The owner scoffed at her and asked her to leave. Still thinking about her family she said, “Please sir, I will bring you the money as soon as I can.” The owner told her he couldn’t give her credit, she didn’t have an account at his store. There was another customer standing nearby who overheard their conversation. He approached them and said he would get whatever she needed. Reluctantly, the owner asked, “do you have a grocery list?” “Yes, sir,” the lady replied. “Okay,” he said, “put your grocery list on the scales and whatever the list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.” The lady hesitated a moment, bowing her head. Then she reached into her purse, took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it. She laid the paper on the scale, her head still bowed. The eyes of the owner and the other customer went wide with amazement. The scales went down and stayed down. The owner said, “I can’t believe it.” The customer smiled as the owner started putting groceries on the other side of the scales. The scales didn’t balance so he continued adding more and more groceries until the scales couldn’t hold anymore. The owner grabbed the paper from the scales and looked at it in amazement. It was not a grocery list, but a prayer that read: “Dear Lord, You know my needs. I leave this in Your hands.” The owner gave her the groceries and stood in silence. Sometime later, the owner discovered the scales were broken.
Only God knows how much a prayer weighs. Never underestimate the power of prayer.
Sabbath rest is complete today at 6:01 pm
