SCRIPTURE
AURELIA Dr. Joshua Scott Rev. Heather Webb
Psalm 34: 15–22
Bill Gabbard
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all. He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken. Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of His servants; none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned. ANTHEM

WORSHIP OF GOD Sunday, August 22, 2021, at 11 a.m. WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE Welcome to Second-Ponce de Leon Baptist Church. You belong here, and we hope you'll come back. We meet for worship Sundays at 11 a.m. in our beautiful Sanctuary. We also host a contemporary online worship service at 4 p.m. called All Together. You can stream it on our Facebook page or at www.livestream.com/spdl. During the week, we have virtual small groups and Bible studies and each Wednesday, we hold a churchwide prayer call. We truly have something for everyone here at Second-Ponce. Our greeters and ministers love the opportunity to connect you with a small group or other opportunities to carry out your ministry passions.
HOW TO JOIN Second-Ponce enthusiastically welcomes you to make a commitment to Christ and our community of faith. At any time during the Hymn of Response, simply walk to the front of the Sanctuary where our senior pastor or a Second-Ponce minister will greet you with warmth and joy. At our big regathering bash on August 22, we'll honor all new members who joined during the pandemic with a greeting line and the usual fanfare worthy of you joining the Second-Ponce family.
