Members of the Sabbath School Leadership magazine lay advisory committee began celebrating the 150th anniversary of Sabbath school early in 2003. Edna Jones, who is also a lay consultant for Sabbath School Leadership (right) created a banner depicting the four goals of Sabbath school. Maida Law (left), a volunteer office worker, helped complete the project.

Conference and local church Sabbath school directors are invited to submit articles to Sabbath School Leadership about their conference activities or programs to celebrate 150 years of Sabbath school. In January, the names of all who have sent articles with photos will be entered into a general drawing to receive the banner that now hangs outside the Sabbath School Leadership offices.

The deadline for receiving the 600-word article and one or more photos (300 dpi JPEG file) is Jan. 15. Submit materials as e-mail attachments to the editor, Faith Crumbly, fcrumbly@rhpha.org. Or submit materials by mail to Irma Brooks, Sabbath School Leadership secretary, 55 W. Oak Ridge Drive, Hagerstown, MD 21740. Be sure to allow sufficient time for the materials to be delivered by the Jan. 15 morning mail.

Sabbath School Leadership, a 32-page, monthly magazine produced by the Review and Herald Publishing Association, was founded in 1997 to provide resources and a network for local church Sabbath school leaders, pastors and other supporters of adult division Sabbath school.
