History repeats itself, thank God!

The Newark Seventh-day Adventist Church had its beginnings during a two-week camp meeting in August of 1877 that was held at the Licking County Fairgrounds, currently known as Moundbuilder's Park.  The first church building (located on North Sixth Street between West Main and Church Streets) was completed and dedicated December 29, 1878, at a cost off $1,500.00.

In 1951, a church building located on the corner of South fifth and Poplar Avenue was bought and occupied. A mortgage-burning ceremony and a dedication service were held on May 20th and 21^st 

^{of 1955 to celebrate the newly debt-free status of the Church. It was in this structure that the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the church was celebrated December 1st and 2nd, 1978.}

Pastor Sidney Young and Chairman of the Building Committee John Loveridge had engaged the hard work of many of the dedicated members that year, however, and a new site was located and construction begun on the present church at 701 Linnville Rd, Heath, Ohio 43056  USA

Christian education has had its place in the Newark Seventh-day Adventist church from the beginning, and the church has produced a missionary, several teachers, nurses, and dedicated tradesmen, not to mention faithful mothers and fathers, from the children of members and non-members alike. Therefore, the education wing of the new church was constructed first, housing Sabbath School Division classrooms, a library, restrooms, day-school classrooms for the elementary school, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large fellowship hall in which services were held until the Sanctuary was built. This phase was finished in the spring of 1979, and the sanctuary was completed in 1981.

Joy abounded during the weekend of May 13th and 14th, 1988, when another mortgage-burning ceremony and Church dedication was held. As before, former pastors joined in the celebration.

This year (2007), renovation is taking place that actually began in December of 2006. We anticipate another ceremony in a few months, this time a re-dedication, in celebration of our feeling of expectation . . . God must have some big plans for His “light on the hilltop”.

Nut-shell Theology: The Bible, which received the stamp of approval of Jesus Christ himself and his apostles, is the final authority for the lives of those who call themselves Christians (followers of Christ). All humans (except Jesus) are sinners saved by grace through faith, and this is demonstrated in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. True faith is life-changing and results in a re-birth and a love relationship with the Lord that leads to a new life lived for God in gratitude for the greatest gift we will ever receive. God is God of all; Christ is savior of all; and the gift of salvation is free to all who know they are unworthy but want to be members of God’s family anyway.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has, from the late 1800’s been involved in medical ministries and missionary ministries, as well as embracing the privilege of providing local and world-wide relief for poor and underprivileged children of God (all humans are God’s children). The Newark Church had a group of woman called The Dorcas Society (See Acts 9:36-42) and when it became possible, opened the Community Services Center, which moved to its present location from 73 North 6th Street.  The “new old” building was renovated at the time and has served the poor as a the Center became associated with the Food Pantry of Licking County beside giving away clothing and linens and some housewares. In 2003, The Carrousel Thrift Shop was opened, and all proceeds from sales go to support the Community Services Center. The excellent reputation of the Center, with the Welfare and Service organizations in the area, is a direct result of the Christian concern exhibited by the volunteers for their clients.

The Community Services Center of Seventh-day Adventists is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. The Carrousel Thrift Shop is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 11:45 a.m.

(Organized 1863) reports a total of baptized living

At the 2005 Annual Council, world divisions reported baptisms that surpassed one million.

The 1,094,138 baptisms during the past four quarters, July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2005, meant that

on the average, everyday within that period 2,996 believers accepted the everlasting gospel and

joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The resulting total of 14,256,078 baptized members

means that there  are currently 454 people globally for every baptized

Seventh-day Adventist. The year-end ratio a decade ago was 647 to one. The optimistic projection

of Adventist leadership is that, if current projections are valid, a decade from now there will be

Seventh-Day Adventists are Bible-believing Christians who base our faith, hope and a future in Jesus Christ.  We believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and the way we live, eat, think, treat each other, and care for the world around around us - is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.

DON'T LET LIFE PASS YOU BY  
 
 TOO SOON WE'RE OLD   TOO LATE WE'RE SMART 
 READ THIS VERY SLOWLY... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND. 
 
 Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they 
 haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it 
 was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. 
 
 I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed 
 up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From 
 then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. 
 
 How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't 
 suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does 
 the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you? 
 
 How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you 
 watched 'Jeopardy' on television? 
 
 I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to 
 lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have 
 clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I 
 had a late breakfast. It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: 
 "It's Monday." She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. 
  
 Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our 
 headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves 
 when all the conditions are perfect! 
 
 We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained. 
 We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet We'll go on a 
 second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. 
 
 Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and 
 the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, 
 and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I 
 plan on," and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit." 
 
 When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure 
 and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her 
 enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, 
 and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and 
 skip an elevator for a bungee cord. 
 
 My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's 
 just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula 
 and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and 
 bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I 
 would have died happy. 
 
 Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to.....not 
 something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had 
 only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you 
 say? And why are you waiting? 
 
 Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand

why I sent this to  you. 
 
Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground?

we  might as well dance!"
