Launched with excitement in August 2025, our Women's Ministry hit the ground running with five joyful events and a 7-week Bible Study in our inaugural season.


The response has been incredible-women showing up consistently, hearts open, ready to connect and grow.


Breast Cancer Awareness Walk
Breast Cancer Awareness Walk
Memorable gatherings:


  • A welcoming Kickoff Brunch to launch the ministry with fellowship and inspiration
  • A fun Pint & Game Night for laughter and relaxed connection
  • Our impactful Breast Cancer Awareness Walk in October, where we walked together in solidarity and raised approximately $3000 for breast cancer awareness and research
  • A heartfelt Candlelight Thanksgiving Potluck to give thanks and share gratitude
  • The inspiring Christmas Cafe for a Cause in December, along with your help and support, raised funds to bless 15 families with a financial blessing during the Christmas season.

These events weren't just activities-they were opportunities to build real community, offer encouragement, grow spiritually, and extend Christ's love outward through generous outreach.

Weekly Announcements August 1, 2026
Welcome to the weekly roundup 👋 Everything happening at Naples Seventh-day Adventist Church, 5050 Davis Blvd, Naples, FL 34104. Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM Visitors are always welcome. This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, Bible study groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next several days. Saturday, August 1 — Pastor David New Series: Kingdom Culture Message: "Becoming the Church God Intended” 1 Corn 12:12-27 What separates a congregation that gathers from a congregation that changes its city? Over ten weeks, Pastor David examines the values that define life in God's Kingdom — belonging, encouragement, hospitality, servanthood, risk, legacy, compassion, and peace — and what changes when a church actually lives them. The series rests on one conviction: the mission of the church does not belong to its staff. It belongs to every member. It closes with The Church the City Cannot Ignore (Acts 2:42–47). Week 1 — August 1: "Everyone Matters" 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 Paul describes the church as a body, where every part is necessary and the parts that appear least significant are the ones God honors most. This opening message asks what it means to belong before it asks anything of you. All are welcome. No membership, background, or church experience required. Messages are available afterward on our website, YouTube, and podcast. Youth Church | August 1 (approx. 11:30am) | Youth Room Led this week by Tyler Krivda, all middle and high school students are dismissed from the 11:00 AM worship service following congregational prayer — a leader will direct them to the Youth Room. Parents, simply come to the main service; students will be guided from there. The format is conversation, not lecture. Students engage the same scripture being preached in the sanctuary and work through what it means for their own lives: school, friendships, family, and the decisions in front of them right now. Youth Church meets on alternating Sabbaths. August dates: 1st, 15th, and 29th. Summer Women’s Bible Study 1st & 3rd Thursdays | 6:00pm | 5050 Davis Blvd| Led by Sharon Foster An evening gathering for women of all ages centered on scripture, prayer, and community. No preparation required and no prior attendance needed — each session stands on its own. Bring a Bible if you have one; extras are available. August dates: August 6 and August 20 Community Food Distribution — August 11 & 15 Food Offloading: August 11 @ 12:00pm (15-20 mins) Packing & Handout: August 15 @ 2:00 PM & 4:00pm (following service) Our food distribution ministry provides groceries directly to families in the Naples community. It runs entirely on volunteers, and there is a role for every schedule and ability level. If you need food: Come to the church on Saturday, August 15 at 4:00 PM. Distribution is open to anyone who arrives — first come, first served, until supplies run out. No registration, documentation, or church membership required. You do not need to attend the service or contact us in advance. Just come. If you'd like to volunteer: Tuesday, August 11 — 12:00 PM: Delivery Offload The food delivery arrives at noon and volunteers are needed to unload it. Approximately 15–20 minutes. No experience necessary and no ongoing obligation. Sabbath, August 15 — 2:00 PM Packing, 4:00 PM Distribution Volunteers sort and pack grocery boxes at 2:00 PM, then distribute them at 4:00 PM. Families, youth, and first-time volunteers welcome. Advance sign-up helps us plan, but walk-in volunteers are never turned away. On serving during Sabbath hours: Scripture identifies acts of mercy as fitting for the Sabbath rather than in conflict with it. Isaiah 58 links genuine Sabbath observance directly to feeding the hungry, and Jesus taught plainly that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath (Matthew 12:12). This ministry is offered in that spirit — as Sabbath doing what it was made for.Sign Up to Volunteer Here Naples Adventist Christian School - Now Enrolling Classes begin Monday, August 10, 2026 Seats remain available for the 2026–27 school year in grade 3-12, but enrollment closes as classes begin.

Weekly Announcements August 8
Welcome to the weekly roundup 👋 Everything happening at Naples Seventh-day Adventist Church, 5050 Davis Blvd, Naples, FL 34104. Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM Visitors are always welcome. This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, Bible study groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next several days. Saturday, August 8 — Pastor David New Series: Kingdom Culture Message: "The Culture of Encouragement” Hebrews 10:23-25 Hebrews calls the church to consider how to stir one another up toward love and good works — and not to give up meeting together. This week we look at what it takes for encouragement to move from an occasional kindness to the settled culture of a congregation. Part of our current series: Kingdom Culture: Becoming the Church God Intended — a ten-week study on what happens when every member takes ownership of the church's mission and lives out the values of God's Kingdom in everyday life. Visiting for the first time? Come as you are. Bible Study meets at 9:30 AM for all ages, and Divine Worship begins at 11:00 AM. Someone at the door will help you find your way. Food Distribution-August 15 Distribution: Saturday, August 15 · 4:00 PM Volunteer packing: Saturday, August 15 · 2:00 PM Truck offload: Tuesday, August 11 · 12:00 PM 5050 Davis Blvd, Naples, FL 34104 Open to anyone who arrives. First come, first served, until supplies run out. No registration and no documentation required. There is no application, no income check, and no paperwork. If you need food, come. Our distribution regularly falls on the Sabbath, and we hold it then on purpose. Isaiah 58 ties Sabbath-keeping directly to sharing bread with the hungry, and Jesus taught plainly that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath (Matthew 12:12). Serving our neighbors is not a break from holy time — it is one of the truest expressions of it. Volunteer With Us Tuesday, August 11 · 12:00 PM — Truck offload. Takes only 15 to 30 minutes. Come on a lunch break and be on your way. Saturday, August 15 · after worship — Lunch together in the Fellowship Room. Bring a picnic-style lunch and stay with us indoors between the service and packing. No need to go home and come back. Saturday, August 15 · 2:00 PM — Packing. Sorting and boxing before the doors open. Saturday, August 15 · 4:00 PM — Distribution. Greeting neighbors and handing out food.

To order: Phone: 407-644-4255 Email: floridaABC@floridaconference.com Summer Women’s Bible Study First and third Thursdays · 6:00 PM · 5050 Davis Blvd Led by Sharon Foster Next meeting: Thursday, August 20 Final session of the summer: Thursday, September 17 An open, ongoing study for women of every age and stage. You don't need to have attended before to join — come when you can, bring your Bible, and bring a friend.

Ninety years of faithfulness is worth gathering for. This is a church-wide invitation — everyone is welcome, members and guests alike. Lunch is provided; no need to bring a dish. No gifts, please — just bring yourself. No RSVP needed; come as you are. Coming in September Spiritual Gifts Seminar — The Kingdom Culture series has been building toward one conviction: the church God intended is not run by a few while everyone else observes. Scripture is direct about it — every believer has been given something by the Spirit, and it was given for the good of the whole body (1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10; Ephesians 4:11–12). This two-part seminar is the practical next step. Across two Sabbaths we'll look at what the Bible says about spiritual gifts, how to recognize what God has placed in you, and where that fits within the life and mission of this congregation. Times, format, and sign-up details will be posted here as they're confirmed. Mark both dates now. Happening in August: 8/15- Youth Church, 11:30am 8/15-Food Distribution, 2 & 4pm 8/16-Florida ABC Express Delivery, 11am 8/20-Summer Women’s Bible Study, 6pm 8/29-Youth Church, 11:30am 8/29-Marlene Smith’s Birthday Celebration, 1pm Questions?

Food Distribution to Our Community
During the 2020 pandemic the need of food in our community was extensive. We are blessed that God provided us a way to support those in need and over the last several years we have continued to see hundreds of families each month be blessed by the boxes we can hand out. We hope you'll join us in serving our community. Each 2nd Tuesday of the month, up to 5 pallets of food will be received from Midwest Food Bank and brought to the church. The Saturday following the receipt of food from Midwest, at the conclusion of our worship service, we will gather together, after a brown bag lunch, to pack the boxes and prepare them for handing out. Then we will plan to hand out these boxes that same afternoon. We invite you to join us on these Saturdays with your family, bring a lunch for you and your family, and help us pack and distribute the food each month. "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me" (Matt. 25:35) We understand that many of you may not be available to pack and distribute the food, and yet you still want to help and support our food bank ministry. If that is the case, we might suggest that the opportunity to support our ministry financially, allowing us to purchase the supplies to prepare the food boxes, and even purchase fresh food to give out as well, that may not be available each time from Midwest. If you would like to support our ministry with a financial donation, you can do that through our giving app. Are you ready to help those in need within our community?Join Us Today For all Dates Listed Below 2:00pm Food Packing | 4:00pm Food Distribution

Youth Ministry Update
Real talk for Middle and High school students All middle school and high school students are invited to join Andrew Krivda for an awesome, cafe-style Youth Church experience during the 11am worship service message! Instead of just listening to the sermon (and let’s face it, are you even listening to it?), you’ll dive into the same powerful message Pastor David is sharing with the whole congregation — but in a relaxed, conversation-style setting. Andrew makes it real, relevant, and practical, helping you connect God’s truth directly to your everyday life. After the congregational prayer, all students will be dismissed and head to the Youth Classroom (located to the left of the main sanctuary) for this exciting time together. If you’re in middle or high school, this is your spot! Come ready to share, laugh, grow, and build real faith with friends who get it. We can’t wait to see you there! Want to talk to someone before we meet? We’re here. No easy answers. Just honest conversation. 📅 Every other Saturday, 11:00am following prayer, check calendar for dates. 📍 Youth Room (Front sanctuary, on the left) Parents – encourage your student to join us. They will meet new friends, share openly, and grow together.
