Palm Sunday: Children Participate
As Jesus rode over the mountain toward Jerusalem, the huge crowd was so happy to see him and waved palm tree branches and shouted together, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Children in Pre-K through fifth grade will have the opportunity to join in the parade of waving palm branches during the worship services on April 13. For the 8:30 service, children will simply meet at the back of the chapel and receive a palm branch. For the 11:00 service, please come to the Assembly Room directly behind the sanctuary by 10:50 (right after Bible Study) to receive your branch and get lined up. For both services, the children will “parade” through the chapel/sanctuary during the first hymn, then return to their seats for the remainder of worship. “May there be peace and glory in the highest heaven!”

Extended Session Helpers Needed
It’s that time of year again – College Finals Week is fast approaching and we want to send care packages to our 2BC college students and we need your help.
We are in need of extra helpers in the Babies Room (everyone wants to hold babies, right?!) and Toddler Room during Extended Session. Ideally, we are looking for at least 8–10 people who can work once every 8 weeks during the 11:00 service.
This spring we are going to approach the packages a bit differently. We are requesting your help in buying the items on the list below and bringing them to the church by Wednesday, April 16. The College Ministry Team will pack and label all the boxes and mail/deliver them in time for the students’ finals crunch week! Visit our website and let us know what you’ll provide at 2bcliberty.org/collegecare or stop by and signup in the Welcome Center. It’s a great ministry and we hope you’ll help us send a little love to our college students. Microwave popcorn

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way. An exhibition of crosses at Second Baptist Church.
Sunday, April 6 through 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.
This year, during the last days of Lent and during Holy Week, we would like the congregation to share their crosses with each other in an exhibition in the Oak Room.
