Preparing for Sunday |
2 Thessalonians 1:5-6
Prepare your heart for Sunday by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of your time in the Word.
No Wednesday Night Activities
Due to Spring Break, there will be no Wednesday night activities or fellowship meal on Wednesday, March 29th. Regular Wednesday night activities will resume on April 5th.
SWBC 25th Anniversary -
Reflecting on the Past
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 - March 23, 2022
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.
