The Pastor’s Desk
Welcome to COGWA
Following the example of Jesus and the New Testament Church, our congregation worships on Saturday and observes the annual Holy Days which are recorded in Leviticus 23. It is by observing these days that we more fully appreciate God’s plan of salvation for mankind and we prepare ourselves for service in the soon-coming Kingdom of God. If you would like to know more about us, I invite you to review our Fundamental Beliefs.

Christ and the early Church didn’t celebrate Christmas. Why? If you strip it of its commercialism, pre-Christian customs and inaccuracies, what do you learn?

Prayer Requests
From Jim Franks:
Prayers are again requested as another major hurricane, Irma, is in the Caribbean, headed for the Bahamas and the U.S. mainland, this time for Florida and the East Coast. As with Hurricane Harvey two weeks ago, members are again in the storm’s path. We have hundreds of brethren who live in Florida, as well as a number of God’s people in the Bahamas and northern Caribbean. More recent forecasts call for a possible sweep up the East Coast, which would affect many others in Georgia and the Carolinas, as well.
This storm is predicted to cause major damage when it makes landfall, which it will do in the next few days—late Saturday or early Sunday. We have been in touch with all of our pastors in the Caribbean, Florida and the U.S. Southeast. They have been working with the local brethren to ensure that all of them have plans in place for safely dealing with the prospect of Hurricane Irma making landfall this coming weekend.
As with Hurricane Harvey, the Church is standing by to help in whatever way might be needed. Sabbath services have been canceled in all of our central Florida and coastal congregations. Please pray for our brethren in the path of this storm, as well as for others who will be affected by Hurricane Irma. We are in contact with the pastors in this region and will keep everyone informed as we have news.
