60th Anniversary Celebration

Posted on August 18, 2010 by Matt

On July 30, 1950, 32 people committed to begin Scott Boulevard Baptist Church.  Many people have been a part of the faith journey of this congregation since then.  We would like to invite you to our 60th Anniversary Celebration, Sunday, September 26, as we recall God’s faithfulness in the journey of the church through the past and into the future.

            The day’s events will include the 11:00 a.m. worship service in the Sanctuary, lunch in the Great Hall, with a Celebration program afterward.  Planned events will conclude around 2:30 p.m., but guests are welcome to stay as long as you wish to catch up with old friends.

            We are compiling stories of our faith journey to be published both in print and DVD format.  We would love to include any stories you can share.  How has God worked in your life through the ministry of this church?  What special memories do you have?  To add your story please call or email Norma Rushing by August 29 at 404-2950958, rushingnh@bellsouth.net.

            We also would like to know how many former members and friends to expect.  Please return the enclosed response card, email gregsmith@scottblvd.com, or call the church office 404-636-7562 before August 31.

            We look forward to seeing you on September 26 as our Journey Continues…

 With God’s blessings,

 Rev. Greg Smith, Pastor

VBS 2010: Joseph’s Journey

Posted on August 12, 2010 by Matt

We’re glad to report that our Vacation Bible School was a wonderful success. The most important marker of success is that we witnessed children growing in the knowledge of God, relationship with one another, and understanding of the Biblical story of Joseph and his “journey from prison to palace.” With songs, crafts, real reptiles, games, God-sightings, hieroglyphics, laughter and some “Egyptian food,” these twenty-three children shared their lives with us. This allowed us to create a space for the leaders and the children to experience the story of Joseph together in a fresh way for some and for others, the first time.

We are grateful for Ellen Cook, who took the role of organizing and planning VBS this year. Her leadership was tireless, persistent and inspirational! We are also thankful for the dozen or so volunteers who gave of their time and/or resources. All these efforts provided the opportunity for God to work in the lives of all who participated. We may never know the full impact, but I am certain that these children had a vital experience of faith that will be significant in their faith formation. I invite you to continue to be in prayer for the seeds that were planted during Vacation Bible School.

Matt
