From The Holster’s Side

Second Baptist Church

MISSION AND VISION

Section I. Mission

Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commandment (Mark 12:30-31)

and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to our church,

community and the world.

Section 2. Vision

Our vision is for every person to find their full potential in Jesus Christ

and to give their full potential for Jesus Christ through witnessing,

teaching and ministering to all.

THANK YOU SECOND BAPTIST FAMILY, SO MUCH!!

Mary Ruth and I would like to say THANK YOU!! to each

and every one of you for the abundance of cards, gifts, hugs, words of

love and encouragement, etc. etc., that you have shared with us the

past year. As we look back on 2017, we realize once again how

wonderfully blessed we are to serve and minister with you here at

SBC. You are a marvelously gracious and giving family, and we give

thanks to our Lord regularly for the opportunity of serving here.

THANK YOU SBC!! WE LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!

LOOKING TOWARD 2018

Having been blessed by God with a wonderful and productive

2017, we now look forward to a marvelous new year of worship,

praise, fellowship, and ministry in His Blessed Name. Our PraiSing

Choir will begin regular rehearsals on Wednesday, January 10th,

following our weekly fellowship meal together. Then on Monday,

January 15th, our Glory Belles Handbell Choir will begin practicing

for their spring programs. Many wonderful musical opportunities

await us this coming year, and there is always room (and desire) for

more participants. So come and join the fun and fellowship as we lead

our congregation in praise and worship each Sunday.

PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST

So much awaits us in 2018. Easter Celebrations, Mission

Trips, VBS, Banquets, Musicals, and on and on. Don’t forget that

first and foremost, we are to draw closer and closer to our precious

Lord and to our wonderful church family. The very best way to do

that is through prayer and regular Bible Study. And the very best way

to accomplish Bible study is through our weekly Bible Study Groups

here at SBC.

We have a meeting place (class) with a wonderful teacher for

each of you, so come and join us each Sunday at 9:45 AM as we

study, learn, and fellowship together.

So, THANKS AGAIN for a wonderful 2017. And THANKS

early for an even more ‘wonderfuller’ 2018. YOU ARE AWESOME!

Always remember: Luke 10:27-28

Bring Your Bible and a Friend,

and I’ll See You Sunday!

Jon-Roy Ramsour

“I’m not there yet, nor have I become perfect; but I am

charging on to gain anything and everything the Anointed One,

Jesus, has in store for me - and nothing will stand in my way because

he has grabbed me and won’t let me go.”

“Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but

there’s one thing I am doing: I’m leaving my old life behind, putting

everything on the line for this mission. I am sprinting toward the

only goal that counts: to cross the line, to win the prize, and to hear

God’s call to resurrection life found exclusively in Jesus the

Anointed.” (The Apostle Paul, Philippians 3:12 - 14)

2017 has ended and there is no worry, grief, heartache,

rejection, or grudge we should bring into 2018, except what we want

to carry over. I love what Paul has said, “I’m leaving my old life

behind, putting everything on the line for this mission.”

The last message for 2017 is, “What Is There Left To Do?”

In Matthew 19:20, the young man ask Jesus, “. . . What am I still

lacking?” God has given us an EMPTY CALENDAR. May we plan

for the new year to GIVE GOD OUR ALL!!!

THANK YOU from the Church Staff to our Church Family

for your generous love gifts, cards, and calls. We appreciate your

kindness and generosity It is an honor to serve a wonderful Church

Family!!!

Your gifts toward the SBC Christmas Fund helped 14 families

this Christmas season. We received over $2,100 toward this

ministry . . . the most we have ever received. I am thankful for a

loving church family who “SEES” the need and then “ACTS” toward

meeting that need.

HALLELUJAH!!! We exceeded our Lottie Moon Christmas

Goal of $10,000. As of Sunday, December 31, we have received

$11,162.14. AND . . . we still have 4 more weeks to go.

FINALLY . . . As we draw to the end of 2017 and the

beginning of 2018, remember to (1) stay on course, (2) keep the faith,

and (3) finish the race God has set before you. “Tomorrow is the first

blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.” Brad Paisley

From your Shepherd’s heart,

Michael Holster
