SBWC Safety Protocols
The wearing of a mask is still mandatory within the sanctuary at Shores Baptist Worship Center . We have several groups of people with health conditions that put them at higher risk of becoming severely ill if they contract COVID-19. Wearing a medical face mask protects you and them against infection.  The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that face masks are not harmful. They do not cause a lack of oxygen or carbon dioxide poisoning. We understand the wearing a mask may sometimes be a little uncomfortable for some, so please be sure to wear one that fits you well. Thank you for complying with this request.

Veterans Day
Veterans Day is a day to honor those who served in the military, and those who have been blessed to return home. America’s veterans should be honored every day of the year, but Friday, November 11th is a national day to recognize the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes. If you know someone who has served or is still serving, take a moment to tell them THANK YOU!

Thanksgiving

All forms must be returned by next Sunday November 13, 2022, to Lady Garner, Sister Claudia or the Food Pantry between the hours of 11am-3pm.

Women of Worth

Attention all ladies! SBWC Women of Worth will be joining forces with Women add Value (hosted by Minister Marisel Santana) for a Global Summit entitled: The Seven Mountains of Social Influence. December 16 & 17, 2022.

Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade developed a God-given, world changing strategy. His mandate was to bring godly change to a nation by reaching its seven spheres or mountains of social influence: which are religion, family, education, government, media, arts, entertainment, and businesses. He concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the gospel of Jesus Christ, these seven facets of society must be reached. So, please be on the look out for more information concerning this 2-day conference.

Tithe & Offering
The main principle behind tithing and giving is the fact that what we do with our money shows where our heart is. Matthew 6:21 says “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” When we are able to give 10% or more of our income instead of keeping that money for ourselves, it shows that our heart isn’t tied to our money and that we love God’s commandments more than our money.

There are several ways to give:
1. Online at sbw.center
2. Text Giving (SBWC and the gift amount to 73256),
3. Givelify
4. Church drop slot: SBWC, 414 Silver Road, Ocala, FL 34472
5. By mail: SBWC, 414 Silver Road, Ocala, FL 34472

All of us take steps to see that we have enough to eat and clothes to keep us warm, a job to sustain our standard of living, we even indulge in certain luxuries. But do we take our spiritual needs that seriously? Do we apply the same earnestness to nurturing our relationship with God as we do in nurturing our physical needs and appearance?

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV

Shores Baptist Worship Center can help you strengthen your spiritual life.  We offer Christian Education Classes that help you understand the Bible, so you can know what the will of God is for your life, and it is better than you ever imagined.

 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV

March 2022 W.O.W. Event

It is so good to have this opportunity to reach out to you to tell you about our next scheduled WOW event. The title is Chat & Chew and it is scheduled for Saturday, March 26, 2022at Shores Baptist Worship Center from 10:00am – 2:00pm.

The month of February was Mental Health Month and the Lord placed on my heart a few subjects that tend to weigh us down and are important to talk about. Those subjects are: Trust, Anxiety, and Depression; which at sometime in all of our lives we will or have experienced at least one of them. That’s the Chat!, then there’s the Chew; which is a delicious lunch.
You are welcome to join us.  I promise you that we will have a great time together.

Women of Worth is the Women’s Ministry of SBWC.  We have women’s events every other month (except July).  Our events are FREE and you may register at the door, but it helps us to know how many women to prepare for, so please use our Registration Form.    Thank you.
