Senior Pastor Jason Edwards

Welcome Guests If you are a first-time guest, please complete a guest card from a pew pocket or Friendship Register and drop it in the offering plate so that we may acknowledge your visit and get acquainted with you. We are glad you have joined us for worship today. ________________________ Meditation If knowing answers to life’s questions is absolutely necessary to you, then forget the journey. You will never make it, for this is a journey of unknowables — of unanswered questions, enigmas, incomprehensibles, and most of all, things unfair.

— Madame Jeanne Guyon _________________________________

COMMUNION at SECOND BAPTIST This morning we will celebrate communion by intinction. During the service, you will be invited to exit your pew to the right, walk to one of the stations, take a piece of bread, dip it into the cup, then return to the left.

Communion is open to all who profess Jesus Christ as Savior. Our Communion Bread is always gluten-free. _________________________________

WE LOVE CHILDREN! Your entire family is welcome here! Children’s worship bags filled with books and activities are available at the Sanctuary entrances. If you’d like an alternative for your children, childcare for birth through Pre-K is available on Level 2 at any point in the service. Our Welcome Center is also available for those with restless infants, and you can view the service on a monitor there. __________________________________ Note: + Indicates stand if you are able. | Please see an usher for a listening aid.

Give your tithe online now at 2bcliberty.org/giving.

Christy Edwards (11:00) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.
