Every Adventist church has these folks. The question is: are you one of them… or all of them at once?
The Tupperware Hoarder – You come to potluck with one container and leave with six. Haystacks, Special K loaf, even the rogue Jello mold—nothing gets left behind. You don’t call it leftovers, you call it “Sabbath afternoon blessing.”
The Hymn Singer – The first to stand for the closing song, the last to sit down. You don’t just sing the melody—you sing parts. And yes, you get a little side-eye when the praise team skips verse 3 of Lift Up the Trumpet.
The Potluck Photographer – While others bow their heads, you’re snapping the perfect angle of the macaroni and cheese. Your camera roll is basically a church directory mixed with food shots. And you already know which auntie will comment “Amen” on your post.
The Sermon Note Taker – Your bulletins aren’t just bulletins—they’re annotated essays. You’ve got cross-references to Daniel and Revelation, a few EGW quotes scribbled in, and a doodle of the sanctuary for good measure.
The Sabbath Napper – Some people take a quick nap. You take a full-on, see-you-at-sunset coma. You don’t feel guilty—if Sabbath was made for man, so was your pillow.
So… which one are you? Tag your church squad and let the confessions begin.
