Please remember to take time to pray for our country today, in observance of the National Day of Prayer.

 In 1775 the Continental Congress allocated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of prayer, including from President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.

A Livestream of tonight's NDP event will be begin at 6:30pm CDT. Follow the link provided to Livestream the event.

2019, The Year of Encouragement!

Church Vision for 2019 - The Year of Encouragement. 

We would like to see the congregation of Second Baptist Church encouraging others and being encouraged in the following ways in 2019

Personal engagement through our words and presence.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Financial encouragement through giving and missions.
"So we have urged Titus, who encouraged your giving in the first place, to return to you and encourage you to finish this ministry of giving." 2 Cornithians 8:6

Community encouragement through prayer and awards.
"Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains." Colossians 4:2-3
 

Hope to see you soon!

Brian Smith

Senior Pastor
