COR VALUE SUMMARY

COR congregations do so by offering time and space for collective study, worship, and socializing.  Young leaders actively shape the activities and meetings for this age group.

BIBLE TEXT

And I gave them the Sabbath—a day of rest every seventh day—as a symbol between them and me, to remind them that it is I, the Lord, who sanctifies them—that they are truly my people.
Ezekiel 20:12 TLB

ELLEN G. WHITE QUOTES

“The Sabbath meetings…, unless wisely planned and vitalized by the Spirit of God, may become the most formal, unpleasant, unattractive — and to the youth the most burdensome, of all the school exercises.  The religious exercises should be so planned and managed that they will be not only profitable, but so pleasant as to be positively attractive.”  Testimony Treasures Vol. 2, p. 440.
