Worship This Week:
August 26, 2018
Anniversary Sunday
Proclaimer:
Jake Maxwell
Text:
Psalm 84:1-12
Sermon:
"The Church is Incarnation not Organization"
Miss last week's sermon or want to see it again?
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.
Jake

So, why do we celebrate anniversaries at Second B?
For those of us who have come from a variety of faith traditions, celebrating a church's anniversary might seem a bit odd or even self-gratifying, but at Second B this annual celebration carries a much deeper significance. As the Body of Christ, we see our life together as mystery, miracle, and gift. We have experienced good years and more difficult ones, as do most churches, but we intentionally approach each new year in our life together as evidence of God's grace. From the very beginning, our church has committed herself to seeking God's will, even when it challenged the traditional or cultural norms of the day. Whether the challenge concerned the way we viewed baptism, communion, ordination, or whom we welcomed in membership and service, we banded together as a church family committed to God's direction, not the world's. As a result, we share a legacy of courage and faith that has been hard won but serves as a constant reminder of our renewed need for God's continual guidance with every step into the future. Each anniversary we intentionally celebrate our life together, and we are so grateful for the vision that others have modeled for us in years past. That legacy now becomes our honor and responsibility to carry forward to the next generation.
Happy 60
th
, Second B.
To God Be the Glory!
