Second Baptist Program Year Continues!

By |

As the program year evolves, new opportunities for spiritual growth and mission work continue to present themselves. Opportunities for strengthening and sharing our faith and Biblical knowledge occur through worship as well as through small group opportunities: • Sunday Mornings – Reflection, Study, and Prayer – 9:00 a.m. – Library. This time prior to the worship service is an opportunity to settle your mind and soul for the week. • Sunday, October 5 – World Communion Sunday – 10:00 a.m. – Sanctuary –This day is celebrated by Christians worldwide to demonstrate unity across denominations and cultures, symbolized through the sacrament of Holy Communion, or the Lord’s Supper. • Beginning Tuesday, October 7 – Weekly Bible Study – Library – 11:30 a.m. This begins a weekly series of study that will continue through the program year.
