On Valentine's weekend 40 students from Second Baptist Church along with 14 bible study leaders participated in an area wide Disciple-Now called "One Weekend." This is a very special weekend for all the student ministries in Arkadelphia. We call it "'ONE' Weekend" to hopefully carry the idea to our students that while there are 6 different student ministries in town we are still ONE body of believers under Christ and worship him as the ONE true God.
This years theme was "One Love" and our students heard effectively the message that God loves them. With God's crazy, passionate love for us in mind, we were then challenged to honestly answer the question of whether God had captured our hearts in such a way that we might return that love to him in crazy passionate worship. We concluded the weekend realizing that no loving relationship with God is ever complete without a public active demonstration of love for other believers and the world. Christians are indeed called to love.
In addition to staying up late and simply hanging out, our students were involved with service projects. These projects included two hours of raking and bagging leaves. Combined, our students bagged nearly 100 bags. For those keeping tabs, that is a bag per 1 min. and 15 sec. Sound impressive? It is.
Here are only a sample of pictures from the weekend. You can check out the rest at "Second Baptist Student Ministries" on facebook.
God bless!
