Crosses from members of the congregation are currently on display in the Oak Room. We invite you to view this exhibition on display through Good Friday.

Ed has provided this opportunity for up to 50 people from Second Baptist Church to participate and, we will be taking a 2BC vehicle, leaving from the parking lot at 5:00 p.m.
