His FRONT PORCH SERIES is a great place to become familiar with this wise and witty minister/author. So, this summer the 2019 Adult Retreat Committee will be offering small group “book chats” in committee members’ homes.
There are two more dates, locations, hosts, and books to choose from left for the summer, but all will be held from

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!
