If you are a first-time guest, we invite you to complete a guest card from a pew pocket or the Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may get acquainted with you.

Also, text “Explore” to 816-355-4736. We would like to communicate with you via text and email with some brief informational messages over the next few weeks. Your information is private and will not be used for any other purpose than to keep you informed about 2BC. Please see an usher if you’d like a listening aid.

Each Sunday in the Welcome Center (just inside the Kansas Street entrance on Level 1), Our Hospitality Team is waiting to help you get connected. This may include finding a Bible study class, showing you where children and student ministries meet, or sharing the day’s activities and schedule. You may also enjoy a cup of coffee at the Welcome Center’s coffee bar and get to know others at Second.

Take a moment to prepare your heart for worship The Sower’s Song, by Andrew Peterson Oh God, I am furrowed like the field Torn open like the dirt And I know that to be healed That I must be broken first I am aching for the yield That You will harvest from this hurt (Chorus)

Abide in me Let these branches bear You fruit Abide in me, Lord As I abide in You So I kneel At the bright edge of the garden At the golden edge of dawn At the glowing edge of spring When the winter's edge is gone And I can see the color green I can hear the sower's song As the rain and the snow fall Down from the sky And they don't return but they water the earth and bring they forth life Giving seed to the sower, bread for the hunger So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder And it will not return, it will not return void

We shall be led in peace And go out with joy And the hills before us Will raise their voices And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land rejoices And instead of the thorn now The cypress towers And instead of the briar the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers And it will make a name Make a name for our God A sign everlasting that will never be cut off As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree So the Lord plants justice, justice and praise To rise before the nations till the end of days As the rain and the snow fall Down from the sky And they don't return but they water the earth and they bring forth life Giving seed to the sower, and bread for the hunger So shall the word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder And it will not return, it will not return void It will not return, it will not return void It will not return, it will not return void We shall be led in peace And go out with joy And the sower leads us

For children ages 4 through 5th grade

ONLINE REGISTRATION OPEN. 2bcliberty.org/ vbs.

Gwen Phillips recently shared a story about Milan, a child she befriended on a SEND trip to Slovakia. Gwen had taught the school children to sing "Hello, Hello, What is Your Name?" in English. She said you would hear children singing it all over as the team walked the streets of the village. On one walk, Milan came running up behind Ms. Gwen, slipped his hand in hers and began singing, in the only English he knew, the short ditty. He quickly pointed at himself and Gwen, with tears streaming down her face, sang his name back to him.

So far this summer we have commissioned three teams for the SEND Initiative 2017. One group, the group with which Gwen traveled, has just returned from working with the Roma in Slovakia. Drew Kingery wrote a great blog about this experience. Another is currently in Thailand.

Angie Fuller's blogs will not only pull at your heart but will cause you to pause and worship.

The third team is, Joe Buhling, who is serving at the Kodiak Baptist Mission. His mother, Marilyn will soon join him. This week we commission our first team of the summer that will work with the Lakota people on the reservation located in South Dakota. Bridger, SD is one of the poorest counties in our nation and Second has had an ongoing partnership with CBF and local residents in Bridger. Mike Lassister is already there working with the local leadership and CBF Field Personnel on long range planning as personnel will be transitioning to new positions in the near future.

Each of these teams are sending home blogs and pictures. If you are interested in learning about what is happening around the world through 2BC mission efforts, follow our blog or our Facebook page. It's exciting to read about what our 2BC family is experiencing around the world.
