We will continue the tradition again this year! Children from K – fifth grade will meet in the Assembly Room on Sunday afternoon to create all sorts of wonderful cards and messages. Come join us!

SECOND SESSIONS | Mid-week Adult Options
We’ve restructured our adult offerings into the new Second Sessions. These sessions are in blocks of four-week offerings with a “GaP” (Gather and Pause) week in between, where we’ll all get together for one special session before we begin again.
Sessions 5.0 | Jan. 14, 21, 28 Feb. 4 Yoga w/ Kathy Benavidez | Room 611
connect
In our busy lives, we sometimes overlook how important it is to find time for stillness and mindfulness. If you appreciate the “Practicing the Presence of God” moment in worship or are looking for more sabbath, this may be a good class for you. This God-centered practice is designed to strengthen us: mind, body, and spirit. We will focus on breathing and basic yoga poses. No previous yoga experience is required. All ages, body types, and fitness levels welcome. Please join us in comfortable clothes, no jeans and, if possible, bring a yoga mat.
Luke w/ Joshua Smith | Room 304-305
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a series of conversations focused on wide themes in the Gospel of Luke, including: the role of question-asking in our everyday faith practices, the subversive good news of equality, and the "power of powerlessness" that comes with being a follower of Jesus.
Senior Gems w/ Vivian Bunch | Room 303 Caring for aging parents/family.
Bully-Proofing Your Kid w/ Beth Dusin | Room 308
renew
Bully-Proofing Your Kid: Sometimes it seems it’s hard to turn on the TV without hearing a story about bullying. We know it’s a problem in our schools and communities. What we don’t always know is what to do about it. During these sessions we’ll try to figure out what to do. We’ll consider questions like: What’s the difference between being mean and bullying? What can we do to keep our kids safe? What do we do if we believe our kids are being bullied? What if my kid is the bully? What about social media and technology-enabled bullying?
The Art of Writing w/ Sue Wright | Oak Room
This class is for the born-to-write, those reluctant to write, anyone anxious to try their hand at writing, and you content to read and appreciate other people's writing. At Second, you don't have to write a literary masterpiece for your work to rise to the level of art. According to the red print in our Bibles, Jesus spoke wisely but seldom in long sentences. Like Him, what we say-- our prayers for Sunday worship, our Advent devotionals, and our mission reminisces can be short and still be sweetly divine-- exhales we folks driven to write have to breathe out to stay alive. They are what we're about, and like us, true creations of art. Starting with Robert Stewart's new book, THE NARROW GATE, Writing, Art & Values, we'll explore the spiritual nature of writing. We'll also trade practical tips for helping writers enjoy the act of writing and feel inspired to write even more.
The Haiti Experience w/ Mike Lassiter | Room 505
The mission team traveling to Denise Haiti will be training and preparing for their journey and how they might serve with our friends in Dinise. Join the team as they explore the skills, cultural and environmental factors, and approaches the team will encounter and offer in February as they travel to this rural Haitian village and humbly serve as the presence of Christ.

Deacons at Second Baptist Church have long been a service-oriented body committed to serving the needs of our congregation. The Deacons work in a variety of ways to support our ministerial staff each week, such as hospital visits, outreach to guests at church, and ministry to families in crisis or members with special needs. As we head into the new year, we will be more intentional with that commitment searching for different ways to express our calling to serve. . . .
