Sunday Mornings with Us . . .
6:30 p.m. (Sanctuary) “BE INTENTIONAL” Deuteronomy 30:11-20
The Season of Lent is the 40 days prior to Easter, excluding Sundays. Second Baptist Church invites you to worship with us at our Ash Wednesday service, which is the beginning of Lent. The Lenten season this year will center on the theme “I Dare You.” Our Ash Wednesday worship is a contemplative time to prepare our hearts and minds for the Lenten season. Our service concludes in silence as worshipers may have ashes imposed on their forehead or hand if they wish. We hope you’ll join us for this worshipful beginning of Lent 2014.
