SUNDAY WORSHIP
Mar 22 @ 10:00a
John’s Baptism (Luke 3:1-14)
First, for those that are reading ahead, I’ve changed the passage from what was published on Sunday. There is no way I can get through the whole passage, so I’m shortening it to only include chapter 3, verses 1-14. There is a lot to see in this passage. So often, we take baptism for granted, especially those of us that have grown up the Baptist tradition. But I think we may overlook the importance of what should transpire before and after we are baptized. So, this Sunday, we will look at John’s Baptism and see how to apply it to our personal lives.
SPRING CLEANING WORKDAY
March 21, 8a-12p
It looks like the weather is going to be great for Saturday morning. We’ve got lots of outside work to do. Bring shovels, wheelbarrows, blowers, pressure washers, gloves, and other landscaping tools. We’ll stop at noon for a grilled hamburger lunch.
Class 200: Developing H.A.B.I.T.S.
Mar 22, 1-3p
This class is designed to help us develop our spiritual life. This class is great if you are a new Christian or maybe just want to encouragement in your daily walk. If you haven’t already signed up, please let me know so that I can have material for you. We will meet in the Fellowship Hall.
PRAISE AND HYMN SING (w/dessert fellowship)
Mar 22, 4p
Come, enjoy and participate in a time of worship. We will have congregation singing as well as special music by Chord of Three, Reunion, Tony Anderson, Dustin Sanders, Tonya Evans and others. We will have a dessert fellowship to follow. The price of admission some paper products (plates, bowls, paper towels, solo cups) that we will take to the MTSU BCM. They feed over 100 international students each week and go through a lot of paper products.
EASTER CAR HOP
Apr 4, 12-2p
This is a great way for us to connect with our community and invite people to Easter worship. You can be involved in one or all these ways.
PRESCHOOL FUNDRAISER
The Preschool is partnering with Evan's Plant Farm for a fundraiser. There will be various baskets available for $20 each. Orders are due by March 27 and you will need to pay when you place the order (make checks out to SEBP).
