Prepare your heart for Sunday by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of your time in the Word.

New Equipping Classes - January through May
The aim of our weekly Equipping Classes is to prepare members for effectively living out and serving others with the gospel. This January through May, we look forward to taking some concentrated time to equip our members in five key areas: Christian Living, Bible Books Study, Foundations, Theology and Sermon Study.
Also, in order to better plan for which class you attend, please see the planned classes for 2022 and 2023. We hope this will better assist you in preparing for personal and corporate discipleship within and outside the church.
Consider coming to be a part of one of these Equipping Classes:
- Christian Living: Evangelism & Neighboring (FH401)
- Bible Books Study: The Gospel of Luke (FH404)
- Foundations: Fundamentals of the Church (FH403)
- Theology: Systematic Theology - The Doctrine of the Church & Holy Spirit (FH402)
- Sermon Study (FH400)

The
Latest News section of the Summit Woods website is the place to find our Preparing for Sunday posts. It is also a great resource for articles, baptism videos, important updates for members, and many other resources.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Amidst the mass of information swarming around us, take some initiative to think on things that will let your heart rest in Christ:
Think on These Things - January 11, 2022

25 Year Cookbook
Hello church family! This coming spring, SWBC will celebrate 25 years of ministry. To commemorate this occasion, we are going to create a church cookbook. Imagine all of our favorite recipes in ONE spot!
You can submit each recipe HERE, or you can grab a paper form to fill out from any of the following ladies: Angie Dubbert, Rachel Stouffer, Ann Gray, or Raylene Tormanen. There will be a beautifully decorated basket in the foyer to collect the paper forms in the weeks to come.
Remember, recipes CANNOT be copyrighted, so any online or other cookbook recipes you love in addition to your family recipes CAN and should be included.
Let any of the ladies listed above know if you have any questions! We will be collecting recipes until mid-February. So please submit all of your favorites! Please read the instructions carefully so we don’t have any formatting issues when we publish.
Financial Need and Online Giving
If you have need, please
communicate that need to us directly, or if you become aware of a need by one of our members,
please use the online form for making needs known. We will do our best to assess the best solution, including wise use of our benevolence fund.
Also, our
website has more information for those who are interested in using an online option for their regular contributions to SWBC or for benevolent needs.
If you are giving by check, please use an envelope (provided in back of pew) to help us in satisfying IRS records requirements.
We, at Summit Woods Baptist Church, seek to spread the Gospel to all people, and find great conviction in the need to represent Christ as His ambassador at all times. Below you'll find updates regarding our partnerships with ministries that are devoted to gospel-driven local churches, gospel-driven service, and gospel-driven results.
