2 Sabbath School Ministry Program 9:15 A.M. In The Sanctuary: Song Service Adult Scripture Reading Youth Prayer Youth Introduce Mission Story Presenter Brother John Olive Adventist World Mission Story Testimony Closing Prayer ***9:45 A.M. - Sabbath School Class: Topic: Jesus on Community Outreach Memory Text: Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people (Matthew 4:23, NKJV). Thought for Today: We are now going to look at what the New Testament says, and what better place to start than with Jesus? And one of Jesus well-known teachings is that we are to be the light of the world (Matt. 5:14). In so doing, we reflect Jesus, the True Light of the world (John 8:12). Jesus teachings, which He modeled in His own earthly ministry, provide powerful instructions concerning how we, through Him, can poke holes in the darkness. Classes/Programs are also held for our young people: Beginners (0-4); Kindergarten (Pre-School); Primary (Grade School); Youth (High School). For directions to the various classes please see one of our Greeters. ***** August 6th Sabbath School Ministry 9:45 AM - Lesson Study Topic: Jesus Mingled With People **** Purpose: To make Disciples Core Values Prayer, Preparing People, and Praise Mission Statement: To welcome with Love and minister to our families, our church, and our community.

In addition, because Adventist schools are an ongoing ministry to students, tithe funds are used to subsidize selected administrative salaries and a percentage of salaries for teachers. Tithe provides for the support of local, union, division and General Conference services. Tithe is not used to purchase property, build churches or fund the general operations of churches or schools. Tithes are sent directly to the Oregon Conference to support the aforementioned efforts. Offerings-Combined Budget - Contributions to Combined Budget remain at Sharon Church to help pay for church expenses and ensures that the church is able to meet its financial obligations and support our local ministries. It costs about $460 a day to pay for local church expenses. These include payments to subsidize Portland Adventist Elementary and Portland Adventist Academy schools (approximately $1900 mo); church ministries, utilities e.g. water, gas, electricity, equipment rental, personnel, landscaping and facility upkeep and maintenance.

6 PS- 2 Selection #1: Good, Good Father By Chris Tomlin Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like. But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night, And You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm, never alone. Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide. But I know we're all searching for answers only You provide, Cause You know just what we need before we, say a word. Cause You are perfect in all of Your ways. You re perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of your ways, to us. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You re perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways, to us. Oh, it's love so undeniable; I, I can hardly speak. Peace so unexplainable; I, I can hardly think. As You call me, deeper still, As You call me deeper still, As You call me, deeper still, Into love, love, love. (You are perfect in all of Your ways) (You are perfect in all of Your ways) It's who I am, it's who I am it's who I am.
