Rivkah Epstein went off to college but forgot her favorite Chumash (Bible) at home so she asked her mother to mail it to her. "Is there anything breakable in here?" asked the postal clerk. "Yes, the Ten Commandments," answered the Mrs. Epstein.

On August 9, 2017, SDAs In the Metro Denver area have been invited to pray for a picnic that will be hosted on the following day. * This picnic lunch will take place in the City Park of Denver. * The table will consist of 660 sections, each 8-feet long, for a total of 5,280 feet, or one mile in length. * It will seat 5,280 people. * The plan is to unite people from diverse backgrounds, economic levels , nationalities, socio-economic, racial, gender, denominational and political, around a common table and shared meal. * Thirty-three Metro Denver Mayors have agreed to participate, along with other invited community leaders. * Each of the 660 sections will have a host who provide for the needs of their section. * Contractors will build the 660 sections of the table. * Following the close of the picnic, the 660 sections of the table will be donated to Metro Denver neighborhoods for their future use to foster community in their areas. * I think, but could be wrong, that this project came out of the doctoral studies of Tim Cress, of the LifeSource SDA Fellowship in Denver. NOTE: I have abstracted the above information from: Carol Bolden, "LifeSource Fellowship Builds Mile-Long Table," Outlook, July/August, 2017, page 22.
