Church-Wide
Lenten Devotional Available Feb. 10 Our 2016 Lenten Devotional booklet will be available starting Ash Wednesday, Feb. 10. This season’s focus is on The Gospel of the Nobodies. As well as devotionals to guide us for each Sunday of Lent and for each day of Holy Week, we’ll also read through the Gospel of Luke as a church family. It will serve to remind us how Jesus, by His example, turned the way we treat one another — especially the undervalued and our own personal feelings of unworthiness — upside down. Options to receive the Lenten Devotional: • Pick up a hard copy at the Welcome Center desk • Receive the devotionals each morning via email. If you already receive the weekly eblasts, you'll get the devotional emails as well. Sign up on the homepage at 2bcliberty.org to get on the list! • Visit 2bcliberty.org/lent to read them on a computer or device.
What Do I Believe? Part 2 Study
Feb. 14-March 20 | Social Room | Led by David May Using Boyd & Eddy’s book Across The Spectrum, the class explores the basic issues of evangelical theology in a contemporary world. It is relevant, helpful and will seed your spiritual growth. You do not need to have attended part 1.
Forgiveness, A Lenten Study
Feb. 21 through Easter morning, March 27 | Social Room Marjorie Thompson, author of Forgiveness, A Lenten Study and also well known for Soul Feast, says “Forgiveness is the healing stream flowing out from the crucified Christ over a world that does not know how desperately it needs the healing.” We need forgiveness and we need to learn to forgive. This study, led by John Shank, will help us find the freedom found in forgiveness.
Tips for Worshipping with Children
Some thoughts for the whole congregation from our Children’s Pastor, Gwen Phillips Because our church family values children so much, consider these reminders as we invite them to worship with us: • Greet children as well as adults, and be as intentional about knowing children’s names as you are about adults. • Hand them the offering plate rather than passing it over their heads. • Pass the Friendship Register to children too. If they take up a whole page to write their name, that’s fine! • See that children are offered a worship guide, and let them know about the worship bags at the doors. • Remember that children have gifts to share with older members of the worshiping community. Welcome their presence with us. Offer encouragement and words of support to all parents. It’s a tough job! Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

High School Non-Stop Trip Feb. 12-14
Feb. 12-14 Minneapolis, MN | Cost: $75 February 12-14 (Fri.-Sun.) high school students will road trip to Minnesota to take in the sights including the Minneapolis Art Institute and the Mall of America. Minneapolis is about 6 hours away. We'll leave early Friday afternoon, spend all day Saturday touring Minneapolis, then head back to KC on Sunday morning. There is no school on Friday or Monday that weekend, so there will be recovery time built in. We'll spend the nights at a church in Minneapolis. Meals in MN will be covered by the $75 cost. Students will only need to bring money for meals on the road and any snacks or souvenirs they want buy in Minnesota. Visit 2bcliberty.org/seniorhigh to sign up!
Student Ministry Meal Providers
Feb. 7 | 3:00 p.m. | 2BC For the past several years, our children have made valentines for the patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital. It’s been a great success, and we have contributed some awesome valentines for those kiddos who won’t be participating in a valentine party at their school. Children from K – fifth grade will meet in the Assembly Room on Sunday afternoon to create all sorts of wonderful cards and messages. No registration necessary...come join us!
Each Sunday, we provide a light breakfast and "snack supper" for the students at church, and we invite anyone in our church family to help! We have two spots to fill for each meal each week, so everyone will have a partner to team up with. As we prepare meals, we are conscious of food allergies. We avoid using nuts of any kind in our preparation and we try to provide alternative options (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) when possible. Visit 2bcliberty.org/serveat2bc to sign up on the VolunteerSpot website, or contact Charles Smith at csmith@2bcliberty.org or 781-2824.
