The week’s events surround the theme of 'Remember' and will feature multiple special guests and opportunities for engagement through social media networks. The speaker for the Friday evening service is Dr. Bron Jacobs, Sabbath service Dr. Andrea Trusty King will be the speaker, and for the final service of the weekend, Oakwood student Dimitri Scavella will speak.
