Women's Retreat
January 25-26, 2013
Save these dates: May 4th and 5th - Times TBA
This is a wonderful opportunity you do not want to miss.
Mr. Cliff Duren, a widely known music composer, arranger,
and worship leader, will be here on Saturday, May 4th, to
share his experience. He will be covering each aspect of
worship to help us to improve our worship presentations.
Then on Sunday, May 5th, we will get to witness his
experience as he will be leading us in worship. I encourage
anyone involved in our music ministry (or would like to join)
to plan to attend.
LIBRARY MINISTRY
What do you think of the LIBRARY here at SCBC? Do
you think of it as room with a bunch of shelving with
books on them? Is it possible that the LIBRARY here
is really much more than that? Those of us that are
involved in the library know that it is much more than
that! The library is a viable Ministry of this church, not
only viable but VITAL. This ministry is unique because
it is the only ministry that actually supports all other
ministries of the church. The “old view” of a library
needs to be “DELETED” if you think it is just a room
with books. When it comes to the library here at SCBC
our TEAM has a heart for ministry. Here are some
examples of our support for other ministries
•
Children’s Ministry---Great Eggsit, Light the
Night-Bibleman Ring Toss
•
Children’s Bulletins to help children pay attention
during services
•
Children’s Church---Bible Stories, DVD’s and
books to support what is being taught in that time
frame.

which will encourage them to return to church

talk to very often. (Check us out on Wednesday
evenings.)
•
Homeschoolers---many resources to support the
education of the next generation from a Biblical
standpoint and general knowledge
•
Even provided a class on the Dewey Decimal
system and would like to provide additional
classes on other aspects of library work in the
future

be excellent material for their study

This list is just a few things we do to provide
ministry to our church and community. We are also
open to IDEAS for other ways to support this church
and the ministry for Christ!
In Service to Christ,
Marty

DVD
Elizabeth’s Gift
When a precious little girl
dies tragically of a rare heart
condition, her grieving
parents are left to pick up the
pices of their once perfect
life. In a sequence of events
influenced by faith(and
perhaps miracles), they are
guided to a homeless girl
on the streets, and a battle
ensues to reunite as a family
heal their broken hearts.
Psalm 23 is for every life
season. Take a gentle journey
with bestselling author
Elizabeth George and explore
12 life-changing truths God
wants you to know. David, a
man known for his great faith...
and great failures...reveals how
God gave him strength in the
midst of challenges and peace
in every situation. And God
wants to do the same for you.
You can count on God to help
you live a life filled with faith,
hope, and conficence built on
the unshakable foundation of
Jesus Christ.

Preschool Ministry - Servants needed for Empty on Easter!
If you would like to serve in the preschool area during the Easter
service at Holtville High School, please see Barbara Kay.
Thank you for your commitment to praying for
our children during the month of February. You
may never know the hearts that were touched
and lives that were encouraged because of
your faithfulness, but seeds are being planted,
and will continue to grow in the spirit and lives
of our children.
During the month of March we are asking
that you partner with our youth leadership
in praying for our teenagers. There will be a
basket of hearts in the breezeway with youth
7th-12th grade that are on our Connection
class rolls. Please pick up a heart and commit
to pray for that youth for the month of March.
We believe in the power of prayer, we also
They all joined together believe that we as adults should be models
for our children and youth in our church and
constantly in prayer
community. Thank you in advance for your
commitment!
