Beneath the Cross of Jesus An exhibition of crosses at Second Baptist Church
Sunday, April 6 – Good Friday, April 18 The Oak Room
The cross means many things to many people. For some it is a piece of jewelry worn around the neck or on the lapel; for others it is a visual in the Sanctuary; and for others it is a deeply meaningful symbol of the Savior’s love for all people.

All candy donations must be individually wrapped and able to fit in an Easter egg. Suggestions: Starbursts, mini Tootsie Rolls, chocolate eggs, Smarties, Sweet Tarts, etc. Candy containing peanut products cannot be used due to peanut allergies.

Being the parent of a teenager raises a ton of questions. In Fall 2013, eighteen of our parents participated in a class led by Sonya RichardsonThomas called Parenting Teenagers. This spring we will be offering a sequel to the course and it is open to anybody and everybody (you don’t have to have taken the first class to be a part of this one). It will be the final four Wednesday nights of the year at Second Baptist (April 23, 30, May 7, & 14). The cost for the class is $25.00; however, we need to know if we will have a core group by April 1. In order for this class to make we need at least 12 participants. Please contact Tyler Tankersley (ttankersley@2bcliberty.org) ASAP if you are interested in taking this class later this Spring. 3

On the first Sunday of the month, baskets for food items are placed inside each entrance of the church. A list of high-demand food items is posted on our website and listed in our e-newsletter the Thursday before. However, to help keep the pantry stocked, all food, personal hygiene, and household products are welcome. Food Share Sunday is one of the tangible ways we participate in ministry in our community.
