Friends
Second Baptist Church will not gather for corporate worship or any other programming March 15, 2020. Our facility will be closed to the public and cancel all program at least until March 20. We will continue to evaluate, discern and update. This decision, with the support of our Vision and Leadership Team and our Ministry Staff is shared with a heavy heart. Of course we love to be together in the presence of God’s Spirit and Grace. At this time, we are taking precautions and even sacrificing our preferences for the greater good of our city and world. Your well being and the well being of others is a greater priority than the joy we receive in gathering together. We are mindful of the words of Jesus “to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
Obviously I am not a medical professional nor public health official. In no way, is this an attempt to increase panic. Rather, I am a pastor, a caregiver, a person of prayer. My hope is this small disruption will engender healing, grace and kindness. Let’s pray for our world, our country, our state, our city— let’s pray for medical professionals and those in isolation. Let's pray...
Please take a moment to reach out to a fellow 2nd-B’er to ensure they are informed. I encourage you to monitor our Facebook and Vimeo pages on Sunday morning for devotionals that we can receive together:
In the unending peace of Christ,
Jake
