Beneath the Cross of Jesus An exhibition of crosses at Second Baptist Church Sunday, April 6 – Good Friday, April 18The Oak Room The cross means many things to many people. For some it is a piece of jewelry worn around the neck or on the lapel; for others it is a visual in the Sanctuary; and for others it is a deeply meaningful symbol of the Savior’s love for all people. This year, during the last days of Lent and during Holy Week, we would like the congregation to share their crosses with each other in an exhibition in the Oak Room. We would like to invite you to bring your cross to display. We hope that there will be a variety of sizes, styles, shapes, and materials, including jewelry (all jewelry shared will be shown in a locked display case.)

Please bring your cross(es) to Allan Aunspaugh by Sunday, March 30.

Include the following information:Your NameHow you obtained the crossWhat the cross is made ofWhat significance the cross has for you

For questions please contact Allan at the church or by email: aaunspaugh@2bcliberty.org

A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way.

Parenting Teenagers 2.0

Being the parent of a teenager raises a ton of questions. In Fall 2013, eighteen of our parents participated in a class led by Sonya Richardson-Thomas called Parenting Teenagers. This spring we will be offering a sequel to the course and it is open to anybody and everybody (you don’t have to have taken the first class to be a part of this one).

It will be the final four Wednesday nights of the year at Second Baptist (April 23, 30, May 7, & 14).

The cost for the class is $25.00; however, we need to know if we will have a core group by April 1.

In order for this class to make we need at least 12 participants.

Please contact Tyler Tankersley (ttankersley@2bcliberty.org) ASAP if you are interested in taking this class later this Spring.

Easter Egg Hunt Candy Donations Needed!The annual Easter Egg Hunt is approaching and that means we need candy! Lots of candy! We will fill and distribute over 2400 eggs for this annual event, so we need your help.

All candy donations must be individually wrapped and able to fit in an Easter egg. Suggestions: Starbursts, mini Tootsie Rolls, chocolate eggs, Smarties, Sweet Tarts, etc. Candy containing peanut products cannot be used due to peanut allergies.

FOOD SHARE SUNDAY April 6 On the first Sunday of the month, baskets for food items are placed inside each entrance of the church. A list of high-demand food items is posted on our website and listed in our e-newsletter the Thursday before.

However, to help keep the pantry stocked, all food, personal hygiene, and household products are welcome.

Food Share Sunday is one of the tangible ways we participate in ministry in our community. The Link Food Pantry now serves over 900 families quarterly with many returning more than once each month.
