January 2025 Announcements

Good morning and Happy New Year! 

It’s a New Year—a year full of endless possibilities! What are your goals… not
resolutions—goals? Do any of your goals involve God, Jesus, and/or the Holy
Spirit? Are you seeking Him in all you aspire to do?

Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV – Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

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!

Online at sbw.center,

  1. Text SBWC and the gift amount to 73256)
  2. Givelify app
  3. the church drop-off slot
  4. by mail to 414 Silver Road, 34472

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.

November 2023 Announcements

Welcome to November! The month of Gratitude.

As Christians, we know that God created us to be people of worship! Knowing who God is, that he loves you, that he has a purpose for you, and that you get to worship him and have a relationship with him naturally leads us to a place of gratitude! That’s why Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18: REJOICE ALWAYS, 17 PRAY CONTINUALLY, 18 GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES; FOR THIS IS GOD’S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS.

November Birthdays & Anniversaries

Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to all of our members and friends who are celebrating this month. We pray that God’s marvelous grace and His light will continue to cover you always. Happy birthday and happy anniversary to you all!

Christian Education

Bible study is held every Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. This month our biblical teaching is titled “Unashamed” by Lecrae.

Teaching young people how to grow in their relationship with Christ and thrive in their daily lives will help them mature and become adults who are confident in their faith.

Parents, our SBWC Youth Ministry is in session every Tuesday at 6 p.m. Please contact Sister Alice Reid for more information.

Senior Social

Pastor has asked that you donate a turkey so that we can provide for those who are in need. If you are interested in donating, please purchase a turkey no larger than 14 pounds. You may drop off your turkey on Tuesday, November 14th, or Wednesday, November 15th, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the back entrance of the Fellowship Hall.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is a day to honor those who served and those who have the fortune of coming back home. America’s veterans should be honored every day of the year, but November 11th is a national day to recognize the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes.

Women’s Ministry

The women’s ministry will meet on Saturday, November 18th, at 11:30 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. All ladies 13 and up are invited to attend.
