A Word from Stephanie
Dear Second B Family,
With our heartfelt farewell to the Prices last Sunday, we have begun a new chapter in the story of Second B, and I can't think of any group I'd rather share it with than all of you. Interim periods can be exceptionally productive times of unity, growth and maturation for a congregation. At this time, I believe we are better prepared and ready for the challenges of an interim than we have ever been in the past.
First, we are financially sound. Through the diligent efforts of our Vision Leadership Team and the hard work of our new Financial Administrator Sylvia Franco, we are in excellent shape to take on the challenges of an interim and not lose our stride. Of course, that will depend greatly on your continued faithfulness in giving, which I am confident will continue to bring you great joy as you support our ministries and missions.
Second, we are spiritually unified. Second B has certainly had her rough patches as a church family at times in the past, but
we are experiencing a particularly blessed season of unity, commitment, and inclusion. I thank God for the "Oneness" we are privileged to share with each other, and I am amazed at the love of Christ you embody.
Finally, God has blessed us with growth over the past couple of years which has made a substantial impact on our ministries and missions. We have had nearly 70 people join us over the
past year and a half, and most of those have been "pillar" type members who have shouldered the load with us since the moment they arrived. We thank God for the encouragement that growth brings. Let's continue to be a place where the Spirit of God welcomes the stranger and knits us together as one in purpose, vision, and mission.
As we begin the task of finding our next senior pastor, may God bless us with a unified vision to be LOVED, LIGHT, and ONE in the Spirit.
Gratefully,
Stephanie

Who has time these days to search for God?
Breaking away from the rat race to get a new perspective isn't new. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, John the Baptist,
Paul, and, of course, Jesus all stumbled into the wilderness while they were looking for God. Exploring new spiritual
boundaries can get us in shape for some tough patches down the road. Seeking God in the wilderness can leave you
breathless.
If you are ready for an adventure, prepare to get a bit lost out there, to test your
boundaries, to find God in some amazing places, and to discover you're stronger
than you thought you were.
