Happy Sabbath and welcome to the Five Rivers Seventh-day Adventist church. The following are your announcements for the coming week and beyond.
HYMN FEST 2026
All are invited as the South Caribbean Conference Music Department presents Hymn Fest 2026, themed “From Generation to Generation: One Song, One Faith, One Hope,” the celebration of a legacy of faith through song. This program will take place on Sabbath, October 10th, 2026, from 3:30 p.m. at the Stanmore Avenue SDA Church. Hosted by Kevon and Afiya Gibbs, it features a large variety of musical talent. You cannot afford to miss it.
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT – CHURCH LIBRARY REOPENING
The Education Department is excited to announce that the opening of our Church Library is coming soon!
We are looking forward to creating a space that will encourage us as a congregation to read, learn, grow, and strengthen our faith through good Christian literature.
As we prepare for the grand opening, we are kindly asking for your support. If you have Bible-based or Christian books at home that are in very good condition and that you are willing to share, we invite you to donate a book—or a few books—to the library. If you don’t have books to donate, you can still help! You can purchase a book or books for the library, or make a financial contribution toward the purchase of books and other resources.
We would be grateful to receive your donated books and contributions by Sabbath October 24th, which will give the Education Department enough time to process, organize, and stock the library as we prepare for the grand opening coming soon! We have received some books already, so we would like to thank those who have already contributed. Contributions can be given to any member of the library committee – Sis. Marion, Sis. Josephine, Sis. Layla Alexander and Bro. Malakai Manswell.
We would love to have the support of our entire congregation in whatever way you are able to contribute. Let’s work together to build a library that will bless our church family for years to come.
