Church-Wide
Church Health Survey - Spring Edition
Available through March 18 | Visit 2bcliberty.org/survey It is time for the spring edition of our Church Health Survey! We had such a great response in October and hope to have an even greater response this time. You will find some similar questions as in the prior survey, because we are interested in tracking long-term trends. You'll also notice new questions about topics such as baptism and its role in church membership that will further help us address the needs of our church community. The survey is open until March 18. To access the survey directly, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3TM6FLB, or you can find a link at 2bcliberty.org/survey. Thank You! — 2BC Research & Analytics Team

Disciple Now Coming April 8-10
April 8-10 | 2BC; host houses around Liberty Disciple Now is coming soon! This incredible weekend for students and their friends is full of fun times, group bonding, and spiritual and social growth! Our theme this year is "Come Together" (it's a Beatles kind of weekend), and our speaker is Kevin Sinclair, Kevin is Minister to Youth/Missions at South Main Baptist Church in Houston, TX! We will be focusing on a few examples, both biblical and historical, when people have broken down or through the barriers that divide us and sought unity through compassion, understanding, and love (after all, all you need is love). More info will be coming soon. We'll start registration next week so get excited!
Meals on Wheels Drivers Coordinator Liberty Meals on Wheels began in the Second Baptist kitchen over 30 years ago and has been a part of our local mission partnerships since. Bobbie Chasteen has been a wonderful coordinator in times when Second Baptist is called on to supplement the regular drivers. After 20 years, Bobbie is “retiring,� and we would love to invite another person to coordinate drivers when it is our assigned month. We have a list of 20-25 people who have driven before. The meals are picked up at the Election Board (Beside the Fire Department on Mississippi) to be delivered by volunteer drivers on assigned routes of up to 6 stops. Most routes take between one half and one hour to complete. For some clients, the driver may be the only eye to eye contact for the day! If you would be interested in driving or coordinating drivers, contact Mike Lassiter at mlassiter@2bcliberty.org or 781-2824.
Do you love taking photographs? As part of our effort to capture stories of God's work in our congregation, we would like to form a team of photographers who are willing to be ready to snap a photo at times like Sunday services, when new members join, special church-wide events and service ministries (mission trips, etc.). If you'd like to participate, please contact Kim Halfhill at khalfhill@2bcliberty.org or Connie McNeill at cmcneill@2bcliberty.org. If this brings someone to mind, you could even recommend someone to us!
