Christmas…When the season for others becomes a lifestyle

This is the time of the year when we gather from our family those Christmas lists. I would like to give you my Christmas list for this year but with a little different approach. 

 Instead of what I would like for myself I want to list a few things I would like for you to have this year.

 The true knowledge that no matter what you are going through, God has your situation in His hand even if you can only see the back side of the quilt He is creating for you and your family.

 That you would be able to see, from your heart more than your eyes, that you are so loved by so many.

 That a shelter over your head, a bed to sleep in and a table to eat from places you in a more wealthy state than half of the world’s population.

 That you have been given ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart to receive every message God is sending you through His word and your friends.

 That your family be more a comfort than an aggravation in your life.

 That your church be more a blessing than an obligation you feel.

 That your pastor be more a shepherd than a general.

 Above all, that Christ will be there with you for that first morning coffee. I ask that each day of the new year you will find time to meet up with him at lunch, that He will be the unseen guest each evening for dinner and that you feel His warm blanket cover you and His gentle kiss on your forehead as you retire each night knowing He loves you like you were His only child.

 My you know and display the greatest truth of this season:

JOY TO THE WORLD THE LORD HAS COME!

SBCC Website to Replace Connections Newsletter

We are living in a technological age, and more and more of our information comes to us by the internet.  We now have a website which we are continually working to update and make user-friendly for our church family and those looking to find a church in our area. With that in mind, we have decided to discontinue the monthly newsletter in paper form and direct you to the website, www.sbcchurch.net for information.  This will enable us to update on a regular basis information you need as well as include testimonies, missions reports, etc. as information comes to us.

 We will continue to publish the bulletin each Sunday with announcements and information you need. But you can go to the website at any time and find information and times, etc. for church events. (How many times do we all misplace our bulletin and newsletter and have to call someone to find out the information?)

 How does the website work?  When you pull it up you will see some fun pictures, basic information and tabs at the top to bring up all you need to know.  You can click on Events, Ministries, Calendar, etc.  Pastor’s Blog will have articles from the pastor.

 Check out the website and know that we will be working to improve it continually and keep it up-to-date. Also, it is a great way to introduce friends to our church and ministries.  If you don’t have internet access, check your bulletin each week and, yes, you can still call the office for any information you need.

BOYS AND GIRLS MISSIONARY CRUSADE (BGMC)

You may occasionally see our children with small yellow plastic barrels bringing money to children’s church.  Or you may be asked to help fill one of these barrels, called “Buddy Barrel”. This is the method our children use to save money for their missions program, BGMC. From the beginning BGMC had two stated goals: to provide literature for the mission fields and to educate children about the role of missions in the church.  This has grown to include other ministries to children such as orphanages, feeding programs, water wells, school supply distribution and children’s camps.  This year is the 60^th anniversary of this program which has given more than $85.3 million since its beginning.

When the program first began in 1949, wooden barrel banks were chosen as the collection containers.  This evolved into Buddy Barrel becoming the mascot or symbol for BGMC. (They are now plastic.)

 At SBCC, BGMC Sunday is the first Sunday of every month.  This is the day the kids bring in their money and the children have a missions lesson.  So far our kids have contributed $664.00 this year.  WAY TO GO! We encourage you, as parents, to participate with your children by making sure their barrels are full and returned each week on BGMC Sunday.  Our children are making a difference because even pennies saved can make a big impact to missionaries around the world.
