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–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. Crosses from members of the congregation are currently on display in the Oak Room. We invite you to view this exhibition on display through Good Friday.
maundy thursday Thursday, April 17 7:30 p.m. Communion and Drama Our Maundy Thursday service will help us reflect on the Last Supper in the Upper Room that Jesus shared with his disciples. Join us for a drama written by Jill McRorey and and Susan Miller titled Sacrament, followed by communion.

With God's help, and through their desperate quest to keep the shelter open, these children realize they can make a difference right where they live. HE is God of This City!
Come join the children as they share what they have learned this spring in choir!

An Invitation to Second Baptist Church from Ed Chasteen, 2BC Ambassador to Other Faith Groups Second Baptist member Ed Chasteen, founder of Hatebusters, is a longtime supporter of the Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council, a not-forprofit organization striving to break the barriers between faiths and religious traditions by creating a community based on cultural knowledge, respect, appreciation and trust. Each year the Council sponsors The Table of Faiths. This year The Table of Faiths is held May 8 at Unity Village from 6:00-–9:00 p.m. and provides an opportunity to indulge our senses amid the beautiful surroundings in the gardens, to enjoy mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres, delicious desserts and refreshing beverages while feeding our spirit in rich, uplifting, inspiring and diverse dialogue with other guests centered around the theme “The Uncommon Response: Inspiring the Sacred in All Things” Ed has provided this opportunity for up to 50 people from Second Baptist Church to participate and, we will be taking a 2BC vehicle, leaving from the parking lot at 5:00 p.m. If you are interested in attending, contact the church office at 781-2824 or email Maggie Henderson, at mhenderson@2bcliberty.org by April 28. Childcare is available at Second, but we must have your child’s reservation by Monday, April 28. Please call Gwen at 781-2824.
