Deuteronomy 32:1-11

Second Baptist Church belong | believe | become APRIL 2015

Welcome to Easter at Second Baptist! Spiritual growth and change happen when we’re in relationship with people who know us well. Connecting with others at Second Baptist is a way to build community and be transformed in your faith. The best way to connect is to jump in.

The 2BC Monthly LOOP is a broader edition of our 2BC Weekly LOOP, designed to give you a bit more detail about our ministries in the month ahead. You’ll find information about upcoming events, classes, and serving opportunities to get you connected to 2BC. Keep this as a reference all month long so you can jump in often!

If you are a guest with us today, we want to extend a special welcome to you and thank you for sharing this Easter Sunday with us. If we can be of assistance to you as you continue on your faith journey, would you please let us know? You can contact our church office at 816781-2824.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH

Church Retreat Friday, May 29 6:30-8:30 p.m. &

Saturday, May 30 9:30-11:30 a.m.

In the Social Room

Retreat is free | Childcare available One of the most exciting programs we will undertake this year is our collective action initiative or what we are calling the Dream Initiative. It will launch at our church retreat in May! Each and every 2BC member’s insight and experience will be valuable as we begin to dream big about how we can fulfill God’s Dream for Liberty and the surrounding area. We will invite key civic leaders, professionals, and residents who can speak directly to issues and inform us of different critical needs in our immediate region.

FRIDAY | Envision & Learn We’ll discuss: • What need or needs in Liberty and the

surrounding area could be addressed or strengthened if a faith community or communities became more intentional or focused in those areas?

• How does openly and honestly

addressing these questions together put us in touch with the dream of God in this world?

• What churches bring to any community development conversations.

SATURDAY | Discern & Decide We will: • Learn about and experience the power of the group decision process for the use of the Catalyst 2.0 Dream Initiative funding.

• Work with a community development decision process.

• Decide the next steps the group takes.

• Discuss what it would look like for Second Baptist to continue to explore ways to be the presence of Christ in Liberty and the surrounding area

What Does the Bible Say About Money?

David Fuller | Rm 306

How much does God expect me to give to others? Should I feel guilty about financial success? We will discuss relevant scriptures and apply them to today’s financial issues.

Our conversations will help us consider how to build a financial legacy, based on Dave Ramsey’s The Legacy Journey.

Stephen Ministry Lite Blane Baker & Sara Langford | Rm 308

When you encounter a loss, a death, or sadness, what do you do or say? Do you ever feel inadequate and at a loss for words?

Or worse, say something that you regret the second it leaves your lips? Come learn helpful, practical tips on how to support and comfort those in need. We will discuss Don't Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart by Dr. Kenneth Haugk, Stephen Ministry's founder, and explore the biblical foundation of the ministry.

For many years, The Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council (GKCIC) has been a notfor-profit organization striving to break the barriers amongst all faiths and religious traditions by creating a community based on cultural knowledge, respect, appreciation and trust. The Council strives to provide engaging and educational programs about the many diverse faith philosophies represented in Greater Kansas City by joining religion, spirit and community.

Note from 2BC member Ed Chasteen...

“As President of HateBusters and as 2BC’s Ambassador to Other Communities of Faith, I have bought two tables, each seating 10. The first 20 folks from 2BC to email me (HateBuster@aol.com) and sign up will sit at these two tables. I’m also hoping that a couple of others from 2BC might be led to buy a table for 10 and invite some folks to join them. (Those who buy a table for 10 get a 10% discount off the $350.00 cost.) I’m also hoping that individual 2BCers might buy a ticket for $35. My dream for Table of Faiths is that many of us from 2BC will find a friend of another faith, thereby enriching our mutual public lives and our individual spiritual selves. My dream is that 50 members and friends of 2BC will be present at Table of Faiths. Together we can make this happen.”

If you are interested in purchasing tickets or a table, please contact Maggie Henderson in the church office at mhenderson@2bcliberty.org or 816-781-2824 and pay at the church office. 2BC members and friends can order together, and ride to the event together in a 2BC vehicle.

So deep are 2BC’s mission roots and so vital are her ever-emerging mission commitments that it was impossible to include each but the Missions Committee has made a beginning effort. It is our hope that, as we pray together each day, we will experience that sense of working alongside the missioners among us; that we will become more closely connected with them and that they will realize blessings resulting from our communal prayers.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH

Making space for God’s transforming presence.

2015 SEND OPPORTUNITIES For 2015, 2BC has once again identified the following opportunities for our SEND Initiative. We hope you’ll review the opportunities and contact the people listed for more information and to explore how you might serve.

Remember, if you engage in any of these opportunities for the first time, SEND will provide you with a supplemental amount of funding.

More information is available by contacting Mike Lassiter, Associate Pastor mlassiter@2bcliberty.org | 816-781-2824 ext. 307

Windermere

Conference Center June 22–26, 2015 Second Baptist continues to enjoy a good relationship with Windermere Conference Center, located at Lake of the Ozarks.

On June 22–26, we will travel to Windermere to help in various areas as the conference center serves a variety of ministries from around the state and country. College students, recently retired, those with the summer “off”, senior adults or families are all invited to consider joining us in this service opportunity.

Lodging and meals are provided by Windermere, and those who attend will be asked to work in various areas about six hours each day while also enjoying free time.

12

In addition to the free time, in the evening we will have the opportunity to join in worship with any of the groups Windermere is hosting for the week. We will also have our own short group time to close each day.

See our website 2bcliberty.org/send for a list of tasks you can get involved with. The pace is easy, and there is time for fellowship with others. You can drive separately or ride in a 2BC vehicle. Please indicate the desire to ride when you sign up. Visit the 2BC website, and under missions, look for the Windermere sign up. (There is also a RV park if you prefer to stay in your own RV or camping trailer.)

Contact Mike Lassiter if you need more information or want to be a part of this SEND opportunity.

Heifer International Ranch April 18–19, 2015

Heifer International is a mission organization making a difference by teaching and encouraging sustainable practices for families to move beyond the immediate needs of poverty. Every area of our world provides some type of garden and animal husbandry opportunities, and Heifer helps families tap into the possibilities.

The weekend of April 18–19, 2015 we will travel to this educational farm in Perryville, Arkansas. This is especially good for families with young children, but all ages enjoyed the trip in 2014. The 1,200-acre Heifer Ranch is filled with gardens and livestock, including water buffalo, camels, goats, pigs, llamas and more. Come meet the animals and take part in our hands-on interactive programs and activities promoting sustainable solutions to global hunger, poverty and

13

environmental degradation. We will learn good practices from Heifer International regarding community development and sharing the Good News.

Last year we milked goats and fed chickens.

We heard from international staff and we even saw the weight of the food we didn’t eat that was thrown away after each meal—it was eye opening for everyone.

The deadline to sign up is Sunday, April 12, and we have a limited number of places left. If interested, contact Mike Lassiter, mlassiter@2bcliberty.org for more information or to sign up.

Learn more about Heifer International at www.heifer.org.

Looking Ahead...

SPECIAL WEDNESDAY NIGHTS in MAY

Second Baptist will welcome Kasey Jones To Celebrate CBF Partnership | May 3

Wednesday, May 13

Second Baptist Church will celebrate our missions’ partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Sunday, May 3. CBF is a fellowship of Baptist Christians and churches who share a passion for the Great Commission and a commitment to Baptist principles of faith and practice. The Fellowship’s mission is to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission.

Kasey Jones, senior pastor of National Baptist Memorial Church in Washington, D.C., and CBF moderator this year, will be in the pulpit for the 8:30 and 11 a.m. worship.

She is the 24th CBF moderator and the second African-American. Growing up in a small town in California, Jones was not exposed to female role models in ministry.

By age 7, she and her siblings were involved in door-to-door evangelism, ministry to the sick and other areas of church work, but she never considered serving in the church as a minister.

After working more than 15 years as a community organizer and advocate, she earned her master of divinity degree from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington.

She is both the first woman and the first African-American to be pastor of National Baptist Memorial Church, a congregation established in 1905.

14

Dr. Thomas Howell from 2BC and William Jewell College, an expert in the Middle East will offer an understanding of the present dynamics in that part of the world and a discussion in what we believe would be Jesus’ response.

Wednesday, May 20 | Sabbatical & Renovatio We offer our blessing to our Senior Pastor, Jason Edwards, and his family as he soon begins his sabbatical and we get a preview of the launch of our own summer of spiritual renewal with our Renovatio Guide. The official launch is May 31, but come get a sneak preview of the potential of these experiences.

Wednesday, May 20, is the final evening for Wednesday night activities for the spring.

Children’s Reading Nook On the fourth floor where the children from kindergarten through 5th grade meet, there is a little “nook” by the windows that is now a lending library for kiddos! When your children have a few extra minutes at church, let them take a look at the books available to read. There is no checkout system; children simply find something they are interested in and take it home to read. When they bring books back, there will be a basket to leave them in! The best way that our nook can be successful is if all of us will treat it like the library in our own home. Take care of the books, return them when you are finished, and enjoy reading!
