Sabbath Devotional Plan
A short, ~10-minute devotional each Sabbath, drawn from the Adventurer class curriculum so a parent can lead it. Parents choose their own dates; an elder leads the class on highlighted Sabbaths and the pastor at Induction & Investiture. Shirley keeps the attendance record toward Adventurer Awards.

For Our Elders — The Common Biblical Thread
Every Adventurer class is built on four common tracks. Our elders lead classes across three of them. The My God arc tells the gospel story — God made us, Jesus saves us, and Jesus is coming again — while My Family and My World round out the year. Each theme is taught at every age level, across all six classes.
My God
The gospel story — God made us, Jesus saves us, and Jesus is coming again.
My Self
Who I am as God’s special child, kept safe in His care.
My Family
Loving, honoring and caring for my family.
My World
Caring for God’s creation and serving my community.
