Every local Seventh-day Adventist church conducts a weekly Bible study class we call Sabbath School. The General Conference produces a new Bible study guide (known affectionately as “the quarterly”) every three months that focuses on a different Bible topic, book, or doctrine. This curriculum helps church members maintain a strong Bible foundation for their faith and reinforces our global church unity.
Furthermore, we are told that “The object of Sabbath school work should be the ingathering of souls.” (Counsels on Sabbath School Work, p. 61) When properly conducted, local Sabbath School classes can provide an engaging, small group setting to invite our spiritually interested friends, family members, and Bible study contacts to share in our exploration of God’s Word.
To help church members tap into the soul-winning potential of Sabbath School, MichiganSSPM is trying an experiment—providing an invitation card for church members to share the blessing of Sabbath School with spiritually interested people in their lives. Each quarter we will develop a unique invitation card corresponding to that quarter’s Sabbath School study topic. These will be available as a downloadable file that can then be printed (with a matte finish, preferably at a local or online print shop) then customized with your own handwriting to specify your Sabbath School’s starting time and location.
If this proves a useful resource, we’ll provide a new invitation card each quarter. If not, let us know and we’ll look for other ways to help make Sabbath School a hub for soul-winning for you and your church family.

God bless!
