Thank You

This Sunday, we will commission three leaders for 2BC’s Stephen Ministry, which is a one-to-one lay caring ministry that equips and empowers caregivers to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting.

Stephen Leaders are the pastors, church staff, and lay leaders who direct the Stephen Ministry in the congregation. They are equipped and inspired to serve in this role at a one-week Leader’s Training Course. Stephen Leaders have gifts and skills in areas such as leadership, teaching, and organizing people — along with a heart for caring ministry.

Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ

(Galatians 6:2, NRSV).

M I N I S T R YSTEPHEN

If you would like to receive care from a Stephen Minister, contact:

Mike Lassiter, Associate Pastor mlassiter@2bcliberty.org(816) 781-2824 ext 307Carol Kingery, Referral Coordinatorckingery@kc.rr.com (816) 916-8407

Stephen Ministry can serve people experiencing: grief, divorce, cancer, hospitalization, physical rehabilitation, long-term care, chronic illness, terminal illness, job loss, loss of a home, military deployment, the onset of a disability, loneliness, spiritual crisis, or other life struggles.

Dear 2BC Family,On behalf of the children of 2BC, I want to say a big “thank you” to all who purchased books during our worship bag book shower. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to purchase 70 new books! Now our children will have lots of good Bible stories to read while they worship with us.

Thanks again for your generosity,Debbie Lane

Old-Time Shindig | Sept. 14 | 4:00 p.m. | Earnest Shepherd Center (610 Shepherd Rd., Liberty)Shindig is an old-fashioned celebration highlighting our ministry at 2BC. We’ll eat BBQ and pie, play games, look back at the last two years of ministry and look forward at the next two years to see where our faith journey will lead us.

Calling all bakers! Shindig features a pie-baking contest, and we need some of 2BC’s best bakers to compete for fun! Pie crust must be made from scratch, and the pie must have a homemade fruit filling. If you are interested in competing, please contact Bryan Boyd at bryan@jpricearchitecture.com, or Maggie Henderson at mhenderson@2bcliberty.org. You also can call the church office at 817-781-2824.

coffee with the pastor | Sept. 21 | 9:45 a.m. Join Pastor Jason Edwards and a few members of Second Baptist Church for an informal coffee. Ask questions and chat about Second Baptist, how things work and anything you might want to know as you become more familiar with the faith family at Second. Contact Maggie Henderson at mhenderson@2bcliberty.org to sign up.

Community Group Sign-Ups | Sign-ups Begin Soon | Groups Begin in OctoberOur Community Group Ministry is made up of various group types designed to meet a variety of participants’ needs for spiritual growth and involvement. Activity Groups are structured to share and explore a common activity. Study Groups build spiritual growth through study, exploration, and understanding of God’s word. Support Groups are structured toward healing and growth of members who have gone through a common experience or crisis. Covenant Groups are long-term, high-com-mitment support systems. If you would like to lead a Community Group or have an idea for a group, contact Connie McNeill, Interim Spiritual Formation Pastor at cmcneill1954@me.com or call the church office at 816.781.2824.

Student Handbell Choir | Sundays | 8:45 a.m.The 2BC Student Handbell Choir will begin rehearsals on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 8:45 a.m. in the Music Suite Room 501.

We are searching for students grades 8 through 12 to be a part of this fun group. We have a great time learning different musical styles and techniques and contributing to worship. Prior musical experience (vocal, instrumental, keyboard) is helpful, but not necessary. Interested? Contact Christie White, director, at Christie64068@yahoo.com, 816-419-6990, or ask for her in the Music Suite before or after the Sunday morning service.

Fuller Center for Housing BBQ | Sept. 18 | 5:00 p.m. | Gladstone Community CenterThe Fuller Center for Housing invites you to attend its 5th Annual BBQ, Benefit and Celebration. Videos, awards, BBQ dinner and a silent and live auction will highlight the evening. Visit fullercenterkc.org to learn more, or contact Mike Lassiter at mlassiter@2bcliberty.org if you would like to attend with a group from 2BC. Tickets are $30 per person or $240 for a table of eight.

Children’s Choirs | Sundays | 9:00-9:40 a.m.The Children’s Choirs begin rehearsals this morning! These choirs are designed to nurture children’s understanding of and relationship with God as well as encourage and equip them to be leaders in worship.

Comfort Drive for South Dakota | September 15–October 12 We will again be traveling to South Dakota in October with blankets and coats for the Lakota people. We give the comfort items to several Lakota pastors of the Dakota Association who distribute the items as needed. We have found that gently used heavier winter coats and blankets are the best. In addition to the blankets and coats, we will also collect new athletic socks, which is a request from Arlys, the Bridger Community Health Worker. Many of the people, mainly the elderly, don’t go out as much during the long stretches of cold and often run out of propane for heat, so they wear socks to help keep warm in their homes. Place items in the black bins at the west, south and east doors.

Coffee & Conversation | Sept. 15 | 1:00 p.m.Our Senior Adult Ministry hosts a twice-monthly Coffee & Conversation in the Social Room. No reservations needed, just bring a friend and your coffee mug! The first Monday of each month features donuts (bring a dollar if you’d like some); on the third Monday, homemade treats are shared.
