Happy Sabbath!

We joyfully invite you to join Seventh-day Adventist churches around the world as we celebrate this blessed Sabbath day.

The Sabbath is a sacred time set apart by God for rest, worship, and fellowship. Even if you were unable to attend church in person today, you are still warmly encouraged to participate by watching our services online and sharing in today’s ceremony from wherever you are.

May this Sabbath bring you peace, renewal, and a deeper connection with God and with one another.
You are welcome. Happy Sabbath! 🙏
