This is a collection of short nature illustrations based in Proverbs.
At the Pilot Point SDA church, our Sabbath School begins with a few opening remarks, just welcome everyone and make sure that we're all awake. Since there is no such thing as too much Bible study, we are currently basing these remarks in Proverbs. Every week we look at a few verses, and then consider an example from nature that is related to these verses. I like to associate each of these with a brief video from a nature documentary, usually found on Netflix or possibly Amazon Prime. There is so much to learn from nature! I'm making these available online so that anyone who cannot attend on a particular week (and those of our members who telecommute) can access them from home. I hope you enjoy them!
To Print These Documents: First, click "Enable Editing." Then go to print. Select "Print on Both Sides--Flip pages on LONG edge." In general,
you'll probably also want to print pages 1-2, since page 3 is just a listing for the associated nature video.
