Sabbath School on August 17, 2019 began with a song service led by Ernesto (senior) and Giustavo (junior), accompanied by Felix (senior) on the piano and Eldric (junior) on the saxophone as well as people playing other instruments. The opening song was “Jesus Paid It All”. Dorin Bacata welcomed everyone. Say Say (freshman) had prayer and read the scripture reading.
Freddy (sophomore) read the mission story. Kelly (sophomore) and Ivana (sophomore) collected the Laurelbrook Missions Offering, which helps students and staff go on mission trips. Ryan Kim played a piano solo for special music. Esther Chun had the theme talk.
Following are some notes on the theme talk:
