Youth Ministry Coordinator,
Terra Tindle Williams Resigns
Dear Second B Family,
It is with very mixed emotions that I write to you this news of my resignation from the position of Youth Ministry Coordinator at Second Baptist Church. I was very recently offered a position at Covenant Hospital as a part-time administrative assistant. The position comes with some benefits that will be good and helpful in my new marriage, so I decided to accept the position. My last Sunday at Second Baptist Church will be July 22. Stephanie, Sheryl, and I have been working on a transition plan that to make sure the needs of the youth are met, and we are all excited about it. There will be a parent and youth meeting on Sunday, July 15 to talk about the transition and interim plan. The meeting will be in the youth zone immediately following worship. I would like to deeply thank you all for being my community and family for this past year and a half. I have been blessed to be part of the kind, loving, and thoughtful community of Second Baptist. It is my most sincere hope that the friendships I have made with you all will continue. You have all been generous to me in every sense of the word. Though I know this is the best decision for this time in my life, it is by no means an easy one.
With Great Love,
Terra Tindle Williams

Let Your Light SHINE!
Our Mission Implementation Team has challenged us to
“BE the LIGHT”
by sharing all the
places
we serve others in our community throughout the year. We want to shine the Light of Christ into all of Lubbock in 2018!
In order to discover and share where Second B’ers are serving others in our community, we have developed a
map of Lubbock
to be placed near our south entrance on which we will mark all the locations that our members are serving to shine Christ’s light. If you want to learn more about potential places to serve, both inside and outside our church walls, please drop by this information station. The
touch screen
located there will provide you with information from our growing bank of data about ways you can become the Body of Christ in our community.
Let us know where you are serving or placing your commitment, no matter if it is once a week or once a year, at church or elsewhere, by filling out the
card
you will receive in the mail or find near the information station. Simply place your cards in the
box
located nearby.
We are called to shine our light "like stars in the universe" (Philippians 2:15). Let your light shine in 2018. Help us to “Be the Light” of Christ in Lubbock this year!
If you are aware that someone is serving somewhere but they haven't reported it, you can let us know to put up a "light" for them by simply putting the address and the effort made on one of our cards and placing it in the Let Your Light Shine box by our map. It's ok to do God's work anonymously, and we can pray for them, too!
