Aunty, we had six sermons against The One Project!

What do you use as your life reference system? Maybe you compare yourself to your successful peers. Maybe you compare yourself to the expectations of your family. Maybe you resist expectation, believing that it doesn’t affect your output. Jesus offers heavenly reference points that affirm, and don’t take away, your peace. We’re so delighted […]

How can we protect children in Sabbath School when we’re so short of staff?
19 July 2021 | Dear Aunt Sevvy, In the safety training mandated by the denomination for working with and protecting children, there is a rule that we are to have more than one adult in the room during a children’s Sabbath School class.
