Backpack Blessing Sunday!
This Sunday, Aug. 12
th
, we will be offering our "Blessing of the Backpacks" during both services. We will pray over everyone heading back to school, whether they be administrators, principals, teachers, students, counselors, custodians, support staff, after-school instructors - everyone related to education at every level and in every place. Come with your backpacks, briefcases, and lunchboxes as we bless our educators and students as they step into a brand new school year!

Friends in Christ:
Thank you for the warm welcome, wow!
I'm wondering if you might send me an email or note with some information? Would you send me your thoughts on 1 or maybe 2 (if you are an overachiever) of these questions
1. How did you find 2B or how did 2B find you?
2. How have you experienced God through 2B?
3. How has 2B been helpful to you spiritually, physically, emotionally and/or socially?
4. What are some things about 2B that people might not know?
5. What is a story about 2B that you would like for me to know?
Over time I hope to hear these things from you in person. As we prepare to celebrate the 60 years of God's work through Second Baptist Church, the answers to these questions might help me learn more about you, our city and our church.
Peace of Christ to you.

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!
