FAITH COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER
There are many administrative functions within a church that need to be managed in order for a church to exist. 2BC uses a committee structure comprised of church members* to execute core administrative functions. 2BC uses four committees comprised of six members. Each committee member serves a three-year term and every year, two members are replaced as their terms expire.

Meal Teams Forming For Fall Wednesday Night Meals Meals and Activities Start Aug. 26
We have enjoyed 4-5 teams preparing our delicious Wednesday night meals for the last two years. This allowed each team to be responsible for one meal per month. Some of the teams have requested a well-deserved break for the fall 2015-spring 2016 timeframe. We are looking for two teams of 5-7 people to be responsible for one meal a month (four meals in the fall and four in the spring.) If you would like to be a part of a team, we would happy to help you find a place. The teams are responsible for setup, serving the meal, and the clean up afterwards. This year we will have a clean up team to assist each week. Contact Mike Lassiter at mlassiter@2bcliberty.org or Maggie Henderson at mhenderson@2bcliberty.org.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.
