eAdventist will be unavailable on Sunday, September 22, beginning at 6:00 pm (Pacific time) while we update it.
If you are using Internet Explorer 7 or 8, you will want to update to IE 9 or 10. Not only do IE 9 and 10 have much better support for web standards, they are also more secure, faster and easier to use. You will be glad that you update.
