You are invited to gather in the Sanctuary at noon for a thirty-minute worship experience Wednesday, February 22, as we enter the Christian season of Lent, beginning our journey toward a celebration of the resurrection.  If you choose, the pastoral staff ministry team will be available to impose ashes on your foreheard or on the back of your hand.  A soup lunch ($2.00) will be served in the Fellowship Hall following the service.

Worship this coming Sunday, February 26, in the Sanctuary or in Charter Chapel at 10:30 AM. Our pulpit guest will be Dr. Matt Kerlin, University Minister at Samford. His sermon will come from Acts 16:13-34 and is entitled "Finding Faith."

Our DNow leaders will be serving as worship leaders this Sunday, and our Youth Choir will be singing.

Please be reminded that podcasts of previous sermons are available on our website.

Seeds Bookstore is in need of someone to oversee its operation. The primary responsibilities are tracking the inventory, calculating sales and completing the paperwork for submission to the church Business Manager, and coordinating the volunteers on Sundays and Wednesday nights.

The bookstore is also often the venue for special guest speakers and musical guests. If you love books and have a flair for creative displays and inventory, and if you are inspired to make "Seeds" a Christian bookstore for all ages, please contact Denis Tanner at dtanner@shadescrest.org.

Shades Crest Baptist Church provides a Telex Personal Listening System for those who need extra sound reinforcement for worship services. The receivers are located in the the Narthex.

Several members have asked how they might purchase their own personal receiver that will operate with our sound system. Here is the information you need:

Call Atlanta Sound and Lighting

(770) 455-7695

Ask for Bill. He is a super nice guy, and he knows some of us will be calling. Tell him that Terry said "Hello."

Tell Bill that you want to order the Telex SR-50-A.

Bill will take your order. Have it shipped to your home address. The cost is $76.44, plus tax and shipping. (Shipping should be around $3.00) 

The receiver does not come with ear phones or ear buds. You may purchase those from Atlanta Sound and Light, too. The single buds are $9.00, and the doubles are $14.00. Or, any standard earphones/ear buds will work. 

When the receiver comes, put in two double AA batteries and plug in the earphones. When you come to worship, turn the receiver on, set the volume level, and you should be set.

Altlanta Sound and Lighting is a reputable company that has been in existence for 35 years. If you have any questions, call Terry Taylor. (205) 822-1360.
