March 2024 Announcements

March’s Birthdays & Anniversaries

Happy Birthday to all of our members and friends who are blessed enough to be born during this wonderful month of hope! And happy anniversary to all celebrating this month. We pray for God’s continued blessings and happiness on these special occasions for many more years to come.

Happy birthday and happy anniversary to you all!

Christian Education

Please join us Sunday mornings at 9:30 am for our Sunday Biblical teaching in the sanctuary for all ages. This month, we will learn about “The Book of Hebrews” by Derwin Gray. The book of Hebrews was written for people in crisis. They were persecuted, tempted by the rampant sin around them, and doubting their faith in Jesus. It was not so different than what many of us go through today. So, join us in this eight-session series as he walks through Hebrews, teaching us how to live for Jesus in every season of life. Hebrews shows us that Jesus is better than anything the world can offer.

Tuesday Bible study is offered at 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. This month, we will continue to learn about the book “Exodus.”. Exodus explores the foundational story of the Israelites and reveals an all-powerful, intimately personal God. And it helps us understand God’s redemptive plan for all humanity. We’ve reserved a seat just for you.

Youth Ministry

SBWC’s youth ministry meets every Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall with Sister Alice Reid. We encourage you to come out as a family to learn more about God’s plan for us.

Great Day of Giving

“Great Day of Giving”! This is a time of sacrificial giving above your tithe and offering. Please see the ushers for one of the special envelopes for this offering. This special offering will be collected on Easter Sunday, so please hold this envelope until then. If you choose to use one of our online giving platforms through Givelify or Realm, please be sure to choose the “Great Day of Giving” envelope. We are expecting an abundant blessing from God through your sacrifice.

Women’s Ministry

The women’s ministry will meet on Saturday, March 9th, at 11:00 am in the Fellowship Hall in preparation for our Drive-Thru-Prayer event. All ladies, 18 and up are invited to attend.

Spring Forward

Get ready to start enjoying the daylight a little longer. Please remember to adjust your clocks one hour forward next Saturday night, March 9th, at midnight. We would not want you to miss morning worship!

SBWC’s Drive-Thru-Prayer

Get ready, get ready, get ready to go to war in the spirit, because our people are under attack by the enemy, the devil! Prayer is our way of communicating with God. When the Apostle Paul talks about spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6, prayer is the seventh piece of armor. It activates all of the rest of the spiritual armor.

Prayer is the divinely authorized mechanism God has given us to tap into His power. Without prayer, we’ll be ineffective in spiritual warfare. But with it, we will be victorious.

SBWC’s WOW Ministry will be sponsoring a drive-through prayer event on Saturday, March 16th, from 11:00–1:00 pm on our church grounds. We are soliciting your prayers and support as we stand in the gap through prayer for those in need.

Senior Social

Staying socially active is important for all adults. It can improve our emotional, intellectual, and physical wellness.

The senior adult ministry meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month from 11am to 2pm, which will be on March 20th. So please mark your calendars so that you can take part in some great activities and fellowship.

Easter Service

Easter is on March 31st this year. It is a joyous holiday celebrated by Christians. It represents the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament and the revelation of God’s salvation plan for all mankind. In commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus, we invite you to celebrate the defeat of death and the hope of salvation with us here at SBWC.

Please note that the Easter worship service will begin at 10:00 am on March 31st!

Tithe & Offering

Did you know that money is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible? God knew money would be something we would hold tightly to and place a lot of importance on. Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We want to keep before you your spiritual obligation as a believer to tithe, which is 10% of your first fruits that God has blessed you with.

There are several ways to give your tithe and offerings!

Can Good Collection Campaign

This is your weekly reminder about our canned goods collection for the next 12 months. Our goal is to collect 6,000 canned goods between now and November 30, 2024. SBWC! 

That concludes this week’s announcements.

On behalf of Pastor Garner and our SBWC family, we pray that God will bless you mightily in all areas of your life. Please know that if you are without a church home and would like to be united with other believers in Jesus Christ, we have a place right here for you.

Mothers are special because they are always there when needed, they are willing to let go even when it hurts. Mothers are special because they care enough to say no when needed.

September 2022 Announcement

Food Pantry

The Food Pantry is open for distribution. We are so blessed to be able to help individuals in need through this feeding ministry. The pantry will be open for distribution on Thursdays from 11:00am – 3:00pm.

How can you help? I’m glad you asked.

We need your help with donations of canned goods and we are still in need of volunteers to help distribute on Thursday’s. Please see Lady Melissa Garner or Minister Grace Malcolm.

Christian Education

Sunday School is at 9:00am in the Main Sanctuary for all ages.

Bible Study is Tuesday, 11:00am and 6:00pm.
Our new series is titled ‘Grace is Greater”.  We are excited about coming back together to learn and to grow through the teaching of God’s written Word.

New Believer’s/Members class (Part 1) will be held on
Wednesdays at 5:30pm for six weeks beginning August 10, 2022.
All new members are required to attend.

Soul Winning Class

Minister Franklin Mayfield will continue his teaching on “Soul Winning” here at SBWC.  Saturday, August 13 at 10:00am.  (The sign-up sheets are located in the foyer).

In Biblical times, a disciple referred to anyone studying under, and trying to emulate, a valued teacher. To modern day Christians, it means a follower of Christ who leads by following his example.

In John 13:34-35, Jesus says “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Discipleship is a process of not only holding onto your faith but growing in it so that you may lead others toward Christ by your example of love.

Women of Worth

Our Women of Worth fellowship is scheduled for Saturday, September 10, from 10:00am -2:00pm.

1 Peter 5:8 says, “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour”.

Tithe & Offering

God knows the power of a gift. He wanted every gift to be given from one’s own heart so that when the blessings come, we understand how God worked through our gift to prosper our wellbeing.

  • Church drop slot
  • Mail (SBWC, 414 Silver Road, Ocala, FL 34472)

Last but certainly not least

Pastor Appreciation Month

October has long been recognized worldwide as Pastor Appreciation Month. The call to honor our church leaders’ contributions can be traced back to the Apostle Paul. In establishing the first Christian churches, Paul advised the congregation in (1 Timothy 5:17) to give “double honor” to the elders of the church who managed the affairs of the church well, “especially those whose work is preaching and teaching”.

So, when we consider all that our Pastor does for us, it becomes clear how important it is to celebrate and uplift him.

This concludes October 2021 Announcements.
