1 Fairhaven Seventh-day Adventist Church Pastor Steve Bramwell On this beautiful Sabbath day, We Welcome You!

Please come again! We, the officers and members of this church, are ready to serve you Through Prayer, Faith and Action. FAIRHAVEN CHURCH AT STUDY Sabbath, September 2, 2017 Song Service :30 A.M. Opening Song Congregation Opening Prayer Welcome and Opening Remarks Superintendent Secretary s Report The Church at Study Teachers Lesson Theme: The Two Covenants Today s Memory Text: But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother (Galatians 4:26, NIV). Summary: The stories of Hagar, Ishmael, and the children of Israel at Sinai illustrate the foolishness of trying to rely upon our own efforts to accomplish what God has promised. This method of self-righteousness is referred to as the old covenant. The new covenant is the everlasting covenant of grace first established with Adam and Eve after sin, renewed with Abraham, and ultimately fulfilled in Christ. Closing Sabbath School ****************************************************************** We invite You to make Sabbath School a part of your weekly worship experience! Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly dividing the Word of Truth. ~ 2 Timothy 2:15

2 Call to Worship Habakkuk 2:20 The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him. Affirmation of Faith John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy GOD; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. When you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. ----Mark 11:25, NLT Pastor: Steve Bramwell First Elder: Dexter Clarke Fairhaven SDA Church Fairhaven Community Service Fairhaven SDA School Fairhaven Web Site Head Church Clerk: Charlene Harris Head Clerk s Address: (917) (810) (810) (810) (810) (810) Fairhaveninfo@gmail.com.
