Friday evening was a high point where Sabbath Superintendents who have served in their various church given special recognition. The entire Sabbath was a blessing because it was the first joint island wide program since the pandemic. These meetings were held at the Freeport Seventh-day Adventist Church. Children's ministry would not be left out though the joint Children's service on Sabbath was held at the Shiloh Seventh-day Adventists Church.
The weekend ended where the Sabbath_school Director of the North Bahamas Conference did a training personalized for the Bethesda members on Sunday evening.
May God continue to bless Pastor Churnus Isidore and his wife Cassandra in ministry here in the North Bahamas Conference
Sabbath School Training
Workers meeting
On Sunday Morning September 4th the Conference workers converged once again on the Freeport Meeting all where workers meeting was held. The sessions were informative and we got to be introduced to some of our new teachers.
The Acting Principal of Grand Bahama Academy received a courtesy call from Director's Melissa Jervis and Lisa Auther along with two Pathfinders. They were chosen to represent the Pathfinder Clubs on Grand Bahama to present a $5,000 cheque to the school.
During our Youth Sports Day every summer the Pathfinder clubs are given the opportunity to sell food items, pastries natural drinks etc. to raise monies for their individual clubs. This year the club directors decided that whatever they made would be given to the school.
DONATION TO GRAND BAHAMA ACADEMY
With the help of the membership and a few sponsors to whom the Youth Department are grateful we were able to realize the goal of five thousand dollars. Mr. Jervis was grateful saying "We are grateful to the Pathfinder Organization of the North Bahamas Conference for the well needed assistance. We look forward to partnering in the future."
Mr Jervis also went on to thank all of the members that made this possible. The Youth Department and it's advisory team say thank to all the stakeholders in making this venture a success.
