On September 28, 2019, Laurelbrook’s church services began with a Sabbath School song service led by Galenka (sophomore)and Say Say (freshman) (with Arielle Pierre and Yzzynne, a sophomore, filling in later on), accompanied on the piano by Daniel (freshman). The opening song was “Redeemed”. Vincent (freshman) welcomed everyone,
Nathan read Matthew 22:7 “But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.” Freddy (sophomore) had prayer. Jordan then read a mission story. Vincent called for the Laurelbrook Missions Offering, which was collected by Eiddeelyn (sophomore) and Dorin Bucata.
Heisler (sophomore) had the theme talk in Spanish with Freddy translating titled “Who wants to go to heaven? Is it difficult to go to heaven?” John 3:1-3 After his talk, he announced the classes. Jim Brenneman taught the adult Sabbath School class in the main sanctuary, and Harry Vermaak had a student class in the boys’ dorm lobby. The seniors were away at the EASEA’s Bible Conference.
