Laurelwood Baptist Church
We aspire to be a community who finds more joy being for something – loving God, loving people, and making disciples – than being against something. We are all flawed and therefore we want Laurelwood to be a place of grace. Some have been in a church their whole lives; others are just starting to discover where they can encounter God together. We are family through the best of times as well as the worst. We’d love for you to become part of our family. We are from all backgrounds. No matter who you are or what journey you’re on, there is a place for you here at Laurelwood.
Join us every Sunday at 10:15 In-person or on our LIVE STREAM.

Don’t have any plans for Superbowl Sunday? Laurelwood is opening up its doors and will show the game on the “big screen.” Bring a snack to share and a lawn chair if you want to be a little more comfortable. Chili will be provided, and we invite all football fans—and even non-football fans—for a fun hangout time. Kickoff is 3:30PM and doors will open at 3:00PM. Contact Tracie Shoote with any questions or for more details.

The Wisdom Books of Hebrew Scripture include Job, Proverbs, Psalms, Song of Songs, Qohelet (Ecclesiastes), and Lamentations. In these books, Israel joined ancient sages in many cultures in the discussion of basic issues of human life—but with a major distinction. For believing Hebrew sages, everything began and centered on the rubric: “The Fear of Yahweh.” These relatively neglected books can become very helpful to modern believers as we face deep issues in our lives.

When it comes to heroes and sheroes, Ruth and Esther are unmatched in the course of history. A queen deposed because she refuses to attend her king/husband’s drunken party, an immigrant girl rising to take her place, a murderous plot against an ethnic minority group, and a twist of fate worthy of a Hollywood thriller---all these (and more) are included in the story of Esther, whose courageous act saves her people from annihilation. As with Ruth, Esther’s story of faith, bravery and hope helps us believe that God is real, He is alive, He protects, and He guides us.
This 8-week study emphasizes interaction with God’s Word as well as with other class members. It begins February 5th and meets in Room 303.

“Breathe: Making Room for Sabbath” by Priscilla Shirer facilitated by Cindy Demos ($15)—begins 2/21
One of the greatest challenges among women in our culture is taking time to cease from all the activities and just breathe. We are in bondage to busyness. We constantly strive to complete the limitless to-do lists that hinder us from experiencing all that God has for us. By neglecting time for tranquility, serenity, and repose, we limit our Christlikeness and miss out on some of God’s greatest gifts. In the Old Testament, Sabbath was given to the Israelites as a gift, and it is still a gift to us today. If you are weary, worn out, and exhausted, then the concept of Sabbath will change your life.
Isaiah: Striving Less and Trusting God More facilitated by Jen Lindsay ($23)—begins 2/7
Isaiah served as God’s mouthpiece to the nation of Judah but also to the surrounding nations. His message echoes into our lives today as we read his call to rely on the Lord. Using the genres of poetry, narrative, and prophecy, Isaiah communicated clearly that followers of God could trust in Him. As you study the chapters Isaiah wrote—from his challenging words to the nation of Israel to his prophecies of the Messiah to come—learn to rest in God’s promises and grow in trust. Unpacking Isaiah’s words will reveal that you can trust God more than your own human effort or the counterfeits the world suggests. You won’t be striving harder, but instead trusting more deeply the Faithful One who is so worthy of our utter dependence. In Him you’ll find the comfort and peace you need to sustain you.
