Back to School

I know it seems far too soon to say, but before you receive the next edition of this newsletter most of our students will be back in class. So, it’s back to school. Here at Second Avenue, when the children go back to school, we get back to work and study with a full slate of activities. Here are some important dates to note:

August 1 Quarterly Church Conference, 6:15 pm in the Chapel

August 5 Promotion Sunday with new Sunday School Classes for Children and Youth

August 8 Wednesday Evening Activities resume.

5:15 pm Family Night Supper

6:00 pm Prayer Time—Fellowship Hall
Preschool and Children’s Choir

6:15 pm Adult Bible Study—Chapel

(Study of Romans begins.)

The Foundry—Youth

Illuminate—College/Career

6:30 pm Chancel Bell Choir

6:45 pm Children’s Mission Groups

7:00 pm Chancel Choir rehearsal

This is a great time to get involved in something new. Maybe you should try a new ministry opportunity by working with a children’s class or activity. Maybe you should use those latent musical abilities in the Chancel Choir or in Handbells. Or maybe it’s just time to give Sunday School a try or join us on Wednesday evenings for Bible study.

The start of school is always a time full of new opportunities. I encourage you to consider which one of the many opportunities for study and ministry God is calling you.

Blessings,

Monty

Over the next few weeks we will continue to make some adjustments to our schedule and locations to accommodate the renovations.

The Congregation & Staff wishes a happy 100th birthday to Mrs. Juanita Shiflett.

Because of limited space in the Chapel, please sit all the way in the middle of the pews. This will provide room for any latecomers.

Sunday, July 29, immediately following the worship service, a Missions committee meeting has been scheduled to meet in the Pastor’s office. The meeting will be brief with only two items on the agenda.

Due to construction at Second Avenue, the community kitchen will be held at North Broad Baptist Church during the week of July 30 – August 3. Volunteers are needed to serve. If you can volunteer, contact the church office.
