Welcome to the weekly roundup 👋 Everything happening at Naples Seventh-day Adventist Church over the next several weeks. New here? You are welcome at every single thing on this page. Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM We gather on the seventh-day Sabbath, the day God blessed and set apart at creation (Genesis 2:2–3) and called us to remember (Exodus 20:8–11). It's a weekly day of rest, worship, and connection, and you're welcome to join us. ⛪Servant or Slave Elder Rick New | Luke 19:11-27 In one of Jesus’ final parables before Jerusalem, a nobleman entrusts his servants with the same gift and leaves. Most put it to work. One hides it, because he believes his master is harsh and demanding. He didn’t lack ability. He misread the one he served. Elder Rick New, a retired pastor and elder at Naples SDA, brings a message on what drives our service to God. Is it love and awe, or fear that keeps us frozen? How we answer reveals what we believe about God’s character. Scripture tells us “perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18), and this parable shows what that looks like in practice. This message follows our recent series, Kingdom Culture: Becoming the Church God Intended, and calls us to put it into action. 🍂Women’s Ministry: Candlelight Thanksgiving Potluck Friday, November 6 | 6:30pm | Naples sda church RVSP by Monday, November 2nd Women of all ages are invited to welcome the Sabbath by candlelight with a Thanksgiving meal, gratitude, and real connection.

Some people are surprised that we serve on the day we set aside for rest. Isaiah 58 ties true Sabbath-keeping directly to sharing bread with the hungry, and Jesus said plainly that “it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days” (Matthew 12:12).

It's first come, first served, with no registration and no documentation required. Just come. Why on the Sabbath? People sometimes ask why a church that keeps the Sabbath holy serves food on it. Scripture answers that directly. In Isaiah 58, God describes the fast He desires: sharing bread with the hungry and opening our doors to those in need. That same chapter calls the Sabbath a delight. Jesus Himself said, "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:12). Serving our neighbors isn't a break from Sabbath rest. It's the Sabbath doing what it was made for. Want to help?
