On October 17, 2026, we were blessed with a truly special Women’s Sabbath at the South Slavic Seventh-day Adventist Church. Under the theme “How Can a Busy Woman Find Inner Peace Through Prayer?”, we reflected on a subject that touches the hearts of so many women.
For this special worship service, we lovingly transformed the platform into a warm and welcoming home-like setting. It was meant to reflect a part of our everyday lives – lives often filled with responsibilities, expectations, endless tasks, and sometimes unspoken worries. Amid all these demands, we often forget to take a moment to rest and bring our burdens before God in prayer.
Through heartfelt spiritual reflections, personal examples, and shared activities, we hoped to touch hearts and remind everyone that God is especially close to us during life's most challenging moments.
What moved us most were the conversations that followed the worship service. Several women approached us and openly shared how deeply they had connected with the topics discussed. Their words revealed that we had touched on something many of us carry quietly within our hearts. These conversations reminded us how important it is to create a space where feelings and needs that are rarely spoken about in everyday life can be openly shared.
One of the greatest joys was seeing the entire congregation take part in the worship service. Although the Sabbath was dedicated to women, our brothers also participated wholeheartedly in the discussions and activities. This shared experience created a beautiful sense of togetherness and reminded us how precious it is to support and encourage one another in faith.
It was a Sabbath filled with warmth, encouragement, and spiritual closeness. We felt God's presence in a special way and witnessed how His Word can bring people together, open hearts, and inspire renewed hope.
For us, this Women’s Sabbath was more than just a special worship service. It was an encouragement to continue on this journey. The many heartfelt responses strengthened our desire to organize more spiritual and outreach activities in the future – gatherings where people can bring their personal experiences, questions, and hopes, and encounter the love of God.
What will remain especially close to our hearts from this Sabbath is the reminder that we are not alone in our worries and struggles. God knows our hearts, sees the burdens we often carry unseen, and lovingly invites us to find rest in Him.
For true peace begins when, amid the busyness of life, we pause and place our worries trustingly into God's hands.
