Casual Sabbath

July 5, 2008

Casual Sabbath Was Not Casual

The first Casual Sabbath at Living Faith Church was held on July 5, 2008. More than 250 worshipers came to Sabbath School and Divine Worship dressed down. Members did not have on coats, hats, ties, and high heels. The special Sabbath launched Barrington Brennen’s summer pulpit series "Why Are You an Adventist?" Casual Sabbath was organized to remind the members that "While humankind look on the outside, God looks on the inside. True worship is a service of the heart. What’s on the inside must influence what’s on the outside and not the other way around."   Servant Brennen was dressed in a shirt jacket, pants, and sandals without soaks.  It certainly suited the warm weather that day. 

Although members came to church dressed casually the worship experience was certainly not casual. The new pulpit series began an in depth study of the fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The listeners were asked to think about the real reasons they are Adventists.
