Weekly Announcements November 14

Welcome to the weekly roundup 👋 Everything happening at Naples Seventh-day Adventist Church this week, and beyond. New here? You are welcome at every single thing on this page. Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM We gather on the seventh-day Sabbath, the day God blessed and set apart at creation (Genesis 2:2–3) and called us to remember (Exodus 20:8–11). It's a weekly day of rest, worship, and connection, and you're welcome to join us. ⛪When Gratitude Becomes an Offering Pastor David Bracetti | Luke 17:11-19 Ten men were healed, and only one came back to say thank you. Join us as Pastor David looks at what it means to turn gratitude into an offering. Through the holiday season, Pastor David is preaching a set of standalone messages. A new sermon series begins in January 2027. Join us every Sabbath (Saturday) Bible Study/Sabbath School (all ages): 9:30 AM Worship Experience: 11:00 AM 🙌Worship and Testimony Service Saturday, November 21, 11:00 AM A Sabbath built around prayer, music, and the stories of what God is doing among us. Next week’s Worship Experience follows the four movements of prayer, ACTS, instead of a sermon: Adoration: worshiping God for who He is Confession: a quiet, private moment to bring our hearts honestly before Him Thanksgiving: remembering what He has done Supplication: bringing our needs to Him, together Each movement includes worship music, a short reflection from Scripture, and an open mic for anyone who wants to share. No one is scheduled and no one will be called on. You’re welcome to simply worship and listen. The service closes with an extended time of prayer, and church prayer warriors will be available at the front for anyone who would like prayer. All ages worship together. Youth Church will not meet this week, and the children will be singing as part of the service. The Sabbath is God’s gift of time with Him, and this is a morning to spend it all on Him. First time with us? This is a good Sabbath to come.

Scripture ties the Sabbath directly to caring for people in need. Isaiah 58 describes a true day of rest as one that shares bread with the hungry, and Jesus said plainly that “it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath” (Matthew 12:12). Serving our neighbors on the Sabbath isn’t an interruption of rest. It’s the Sabbath doing what it was made for. 💦Living Water: Small Group Bible Study Tuesdays beginning November 10th 6:30-8:00pm | Private home in Naples A weekly small-group Bible study for men and women, hosted by Glen & Kelli Moder and led by Elder Rick New.
