Refresh, recharge and re:Focus every Sunday with B Real Ministries as we invest in the Word of God.

On Sunday, July 18th, we'll be looking at "All You Need is Love!" as we dig into 1 Corinthians 13. Hope you're making plans to be a part of what's happening!

Take a few minutes and check out this video from Chris Culley's November trip to Russia. A poweful testimony to the work God is doing through the ministry of Comfort Foundation.

Comfort Foundation is dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of underprivileged children and orphans in the Vologda Oblast in Northern Russia. Please remember to keep them in your prayers!

Request that as a group we start diligently asking God to provide a guitar player and a drummer for our comtemporary worship service. If you know anyone who plays guitar or drums, tell them about the need at South County Baptist - a place where they can use their talents to bring praises to the Lord.

Thanks to every one who helped out at the B Real-led Worship Services. I have had quite a few folks share how blessed they were by the service. If you missed it, check out the mp3 file from the 11am service.

South County Baptist Church has quite a few opportunities to serve now and in the future. Please let us know if you're interested in being a part of what God's doing:
