Item Collection for South Dakota Mission Trip Place items in the bin in the Welcome Center by July 22

Second Baptist has been generous to supply yard sale items for our mission team group to take each year for the Bridger Church yard sale. Because of Bridger's remote location, there is limited opportunity to purchase the kind of items we take with us. Could you donate the following items to add to the sale? new bottles or boxes of toothpaste shampoo/conditioner laundry and dish soap lotion cleaning supplies other personal hygiene items Also, we are collecting tools to help a young man named Cody accomplish his dream of becoming a mechanic.

Making the Good News Good Again, Recovering the Wonder of the Gospel by Judson Edwards.

Edwards has been a pastor for more than 30 years. In this book, he asks questions shared by many longtime Christians. Wouldn’t it be great if the Bible fascinated us once again? Wouldn’t we do almost anything to sense the presence of God anew in our lives? Wouldn’t we pay almost anything to get the wonder back?

STEPHEN MINISTRY UPDATE As a church family, we are intentionally participating in a period of renewal. As a part of it, Stephen Ministry is undergoing renewal, too. Two of our leaders, Suzie Boggess and Angie McElhaney, have attended the formal training in Orlando and returned reenergized, invigorated and excited for a renewed ministry. In the fall, we will commission our new Stephen Minister, Martha Reppert, during a worship service, so stay tuned for updates.

We also would like to be a part of your renewal experience. Summer can become busy with vacations, reunions and other activities, making it difficult to concentrate on spiritual renewal. If you find yourself challenged or simply don't know how to experience renewal in the midst of all that is going on in your life, give us a call and have a Stephen Minister walk with you these few weeks.

You will be amazed at the difference it could make!

Contact Mike Lassiter at 816-781-2824 or Carol Kingery at 816-916-8407 to get connected.
