Commissioning and Reception for Alena

Plan to join us on Sunday, August 17, to celebrate Pastoral Resident Alena Vaughn. During the 9:00 and 11:00 services, we’ll commission Alena from her Pastoral Residency to her new role as Associate Pastor of Administration and Missions. We’ll also have a reception in the Social Room in between services. Stop by to say hello to Alena and enjoy some breakfast treats.

Additionally, we’re gathering notecards to thank Alena for her time as a resident and wish her well as she transitions to her new role. Blank notecards are on the Welcome Center desk. We are thrilled Alena is staying with us and look forward to celebrating on August 17.

Celebrating the Retirement and Ministry of Connie McNeill

Help Us Celebrate Connie's Retirement

Please join us for an evening of hors d'oeuvres & conversation celebrating Connie McNeill on August 23 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. We'll have a short program at 5:00 that you don't want to miss. Connie is retiring at the end of August from her more than 40-year career in ministry, including many years right here at Second Baptist. Everyone is invited to join us in honoring her and wishing her well.

We will all celebrate Connie's ministry together through worship at 11:00 on Sunday, August 24, and we’re excited that Connie's longtime friend, Rev. Dr. Daniel Vestal, will be here to preach. He is the Distinguished University Professor of Baptist Leadership at Mercer University and director of the Eula Mae and John Baugh Center for Baptist Leadership. From 1996 to 2012, he served as the executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. (We’ll have one service only on August 24 at 11:00.)

We’re also gathering notecards from the congregation to present to Connie at the August 23 reception. Blank notecards and a basket to hold them are located on the Welcome Center desk. Let’s send Connie into retirement with lots of well-wishes!

2BC Serves: Food Drive for In As Much Food Pantry

Are you looking for a fun and meaningful way to serve? We have just the project for you! Join us at the Price Chopper Food Drive on September 13. Details are below. Register to help here.

Community Ministery Groups

We're excited to launch our new Community Ministry Groups this fall. For those of you who attended the Imagine: Next Retreat, you may recall that we divided into multiple groups on Saturday, based on areas of interest. Most of these groups will become a Community Ministry Group. The purpose of the groups is to make 2BC more inclusive and welcoming for all people.

 

What: Community Ministry Groups

Who: Everyone at 2BC is welcome to join a group. A 2BC member will lead each group.

When: Sign-ups will happen in person at the September 14 Ministry Fair in the Social Room and after worship. The groups request a one-year commitment with monthly meetings.

Where: Groups will decide on a meeting location. The work the groups do will occur throughout our church and community.

 

Here's a list of the groups:

  • Education Level

  • Ethnicity & Race

  • Financial Means

  • Gender

  • LGBTQ+

  • National Origin

  • Neurodiversity/Range of Abilities

  • Political Perspective

For more information, contact Rachel Mumaw-Schweser by email or call the church office.

Second Wednesday's Summer Social

Have you been to a Summer Social yet? If not, you're missing out! Our next one is scheduled for August 13, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. in the Social Room. We're having a Summer Harvest Party and we need your help.

 Do you have an abundance of lettuce, tomato, or other summer crops? We'd love to share them with you at the Summer Social! Please bring a head of washed lettuce, sliced tomato, or your favorite summer side dish that feeds at least 10 people. Sign up here if you can bring food.

You can start dropping off the food on Sunday, August 10 - just put the food in the fridge labeled as "Summer Social." If you sign up and donate food, then your meal is free! Everyone else will still be $5 at the door, or a $20 per family fee to cover the cost of the rest of the fixings for BLTs and dessert. Please let Rachel or Melissa know if you have any questions, and thank you for your help!

We hope you’ll return to 2BC again on Sunday, July 20. Join us for any of the following opportunities that morning!

Parents can hang out in the Welcome Center or try any of the adult community groups.

Children will gather for activities and one more Bible story about trusting Jesus.

  • Grades K-5 in the Social Room (kids will recognize it as their snack room!)

  • PreK in the preschool classrooms on the second floor (Second Friends Preschool area)

  • Toddlers and babies can also be dropped off in the preschool area for childcare if you wish.

10:50 - Enjoy the VBS video in the sanctuary with your kids

11:00 - Worship with us! Children will sing their VBS songs - leading from the front on some songs and singing from their seats with you on others. They can sit with you when you arrive – we’ll call them forward when it’s time for them to sing.

Dress however you wish. Kids are encouraged to wear their dark green VBS t-shirts if they have them – or any natural colors they'd find in an Alaskan forest!

Childcare will be available for children PreK and younger, although we encourage the VBS PreK kids to stay in worship to sing.. (You can take them to childcare any time during the service as needed.)
