A team of four special UK guests arrive Friday (Nov. 1) for a six-day agenda that includes—in addition to the Conference-wide service at Kings Church on Sabbath (Nov. 2) at 4 pm—visits to Cayman Academy, outreach to the wider Cayman community, and appearances on Praise 87.9.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
The men who are legislating, and those who are executing the laws of our government, while they are violating the laws of their being in debasing appetites, which stupefy and paralyze the intellect, are not fitted to decide the destiny of their fellow men. Those only who feel the necessity of keeping soul, body, and spirit in conformity to natural law, to the end that they may preserve the right balance of their mental powers, are fitted to decide important questions in reference to the execution of the law of our land. This was the mind of God by decrees to the Hebrews that wine should not be used by those who ministered in holy office. {Con 82.4}
