Sabbath School Worship Program
Small Group Bible Study
Sabbath school starts at 9.50am.
It's a time where we can discuss the
teachings of the Bible and socialise with each other.
Sabbath school classes are divided
into the following general age groups:
- Adults (ages 26+)
- Youth (ages 16 - 25)
- Teens (ages 10-15)
- Primary (ages 6-9)
- Kindergarten (ages 3-5)
- Beginners (for parents with infants 0-2 yrs)
Outlined below is a typical Sabbath
school program for the adults -
- Song service
- Welcome
- Prayer
- Special Item - this can be a musical
item or even a drama performance on an aspect or story in
the Bible
- Mission Story - Every three months, the
Seventh-day Adventist church focuses on a certain region of
the world and on how church members can help people in that
region. The needs and stories of these people are told.
- Offering - Adventists collect an
offering in Sabbath school to support the mission project.
- Lesson Study - At this point everyone
breaks into small groups to study the Bible. You can choose
which group you want to attend. The duration of the lesson
study is about 30-40 minutes. During this time, Adventists
study the Bible using the Sabbath school lesson as a guide.
The Sabbath school lesson is a Bible-study guide produced
every three months by the worldwide church's Sabbath School
Department. People are encouraged to study the lesson
throughout the week and, during Sabbath school, discuss what
it is teaching and have the opportunity to share how it has
made an impact on them.
- Lunch - some weeks our church has a free lunch (yes,
there is such a thing!) so you can meet new people or catch
up with friends.
