Sabbath school classes are the heartbeat of our church community. Each week we spend time learning from Scripture and from each other. The adult Sabbath School class is led by Dr. Ken McNulty using PowerPoint presentations to help students understand the information of the lesson and help focus discussion that will apply important biblical truths of the lesson to our lives.
Our Sabbath school fellowship begins at 10:45 a.m. Children's classes begin immediately while adult Sabbath school opens with a short program in the sanctuary which can consist of singing, inspirational thoughts, mission stories, and special features. After the opening program, the adult class is taught in the sanctuary beginning at about 11:00 am.
Current Adult Sabbath School Lesson:
The adult Sabbath School lessons are prepared by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, usually by one of the scholars or theologians of the church. These lessons are published in the Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide which is published quarterly and provided free to each student. To study on line, click the link in the previous sentence.
This quarter our Study Guide is entitled People on the Move: The Book of Numbers. Moses is the author of the first five books of the Bible which include the book of Numbers. You may wonder why the book is entitled Numbers. No doubt It is because the book starts out with taking a census to number the available fighting men in the ranks of the Israelite nation. But the Hebrew name for the book is In the Desert, and that is a much better description of what the book is really about. The book of Numbers begins two years after the Exodus from Egypt and ends just before they enter the Promised Land 38 years later. During these 38 years of wandering in the wilderness, they experience many highs and lows as God seeks to teach them His ways. Many years later the apostle Paul wrote about that wilderness experience: "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. (1 Cor 10:11 NIV). Come study with us this quarter as we seek to learn from God's leading in the experience of His people.
