Though it is God who changes people, the early Adventists employed specific spiritual practices to place themselves in His presence. Research revealed five main spiritual disciplines that shaped the Advent leaders and by extension the church. The first is Bible study: placing the Holy Scriptures as the foundation for all beliefs. The second is prayer: communication and communion with God.

  • Local MP Worships at Tottenham
    Local MP worships at Tottenham n 23 June, Tottenham Church held a special recognition service in which they paid tribute to members of the Ochurch and the community. Among the dignitaries present were representatives from the local fire and police services and a number of community leaders. David Lammy, local MP, paid tribute to the church and charged everyone to continue the good work being done. He commented on the warmth of the church and recognised its value as a good place for young people to learn right from wrong. He mentioned five things necessary to build any successful family or church: education, employment, parenting, aspiration and community. He presented awards and posed for photos with those who received them. In his sermon, Pastor Perry encouraged the church to say ‘thank you’ to all the unseen heroes that are a part of our lives, but also pointed out that, although we may not always be thanked here on Earth, there is a reward for us in Heaven. All of this, combined with parading Pathfinders and good music, made the day a great success. COMMUNICATION TEAM 2 editorial 3 Fancy being published? ‘Murray, Murray, Murray . .’.

    AdventHealth University campus center. Photo courtesy of AdventHealth University. AdventHealth University AdventHealth University (AHU) is a Seventh-day Adventist institution specializing in healthcare education in a faith- affirming environment. The physical facilities of AHU were established, and are still located, on the peninsula which separates Lake Winyah from Lake Estelle in Orlando, Florida next to Florida Hospital’s Orlando campus.1 AHU is accredited as a Level V institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award Certificates, Associate's, Baccalaureate's, and Master's degrees, and a Doctoral degree. The University is also accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist, Schools, Colleges, and Universities (AAA). Hospitals used by the college for clinical experiences are accredited by the Joint Commission.2 The University offers over 20 undergraduate and graduate degrees from associate to doctorate-level, including online and post-baccalaureate certificates. History of the School AHU was opened on August 24, 1992, but its educational history extends back over a century, beginning with medical education programs at Florida Hospital, which opened in 1908 and serves Greater Orlando as a community hospital as well as acting as a major tertiary referral hospital for Central Florida and much of the Southeast, the Caribbean, and South America.3 In 1913, a Registered Nursing program was established by what is now Florida Hospital Medical Center (FHMC) and operated for 70 years as a three-year hospital-based nursing training program. In 1983, a two-year associate degree nursing education program was begun at FHMC under the sponsorship of Southern College of Seventh-day Adventists, now Southern Adventist University (SAU).

  • Adventhealth Shawnee Mission Letterhead
    To: Members of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee From: Sam Huenergardt President and CEO Mid-America Region, AdventHealth Date: January 23, 2020 RE: Senate Bill 252 – Support On behalf of AdventHealth Mid-America Region, I submit the following testimony in support of Senate Bill 252. AdventHealth Mid-American Region includes several hospitals: AdventHealth Shawnee Mission (formerly Shawnee Mission Medical Center), South Overland Park, AdventHealth Ottawa (formerly Ransom Memorial) and Durand, Wisconsin. We have a large campus in Lenexa and breaking ground soon on another there. AdventHealth is a non-profit hospital system where we invest right back into our community. We are the largest provider of health care in Johnson County, and AdventHealth Shawnee Mission has been serving Johnson County since 1962. Our mission is to Extend the Healing Ministry of Christ. Access to health care is part of our mission, vision and values. Caring for the less fortunate is part of our mission and faith-based approach, and we’re proud to serve a diverse population, which includes Medicaid patients. Medicaid provides substantial societal and economic benefits by ensuring our community members have access to timely and affordable health care services. Because of this, we see Medicaid as an important investment and not merely a cost. AdventHealth Shawnee Mission sits along the uninsured corridor in Kansas City which runs roughly along I-35. According to the Kansas Health Institute, in 2017: • In Johnson County, 30,465 adults aged 19-64 were uninsured. That is 8.6 percent of the adult population in Johnson County. • Our neighbor to the north, Wyandotte County, had 19,343 uninsured adults.
