REV. DANIEL SANDERS, PASTOR
Springfield is offering courses designed to enrich your spiritual life. Courses are offered in cycles.
Institute Classes meet on Thursdays at 6:30 pm and during BTU on the 2 nd and 5th Sundays. Students must be in attendance nine (9) of the twelve (12) classes to receive a Certificate of Completion.
Courses offered by the Bread of Life Academy are:
The Prayer of Jesus - Living the Lord’s Prayer — When Jesus taught His disciples
how to pray, did He intend for them to merely recite His prayer on a daily basis? Or did He intend for them to live it? Are you living the Lord’s Prayer? Do you want to live a worry-free life?
Would you like to live a Kingdom adventure every day? This study will teach you that everywhere you go and everything you do has Kingdom implications. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. RUDOLPH BRITTON
Gifts of Grace - Discovering and Using Your Spiritual Gifts — God has given
Christian certain gifts—spiritual gifts, or more accurately, gifts of grace. These gifts equip us to
do the ministry that He has given the Church to do. Every believer has gifts and every believer
is a minister. Knowing your gifts and the places they can be used increases our effectiveness
as ministers in and through the Body of Christ. INSTRUCTOR: PASTOR DANIEL SANDERS
The Life You’ve Always Wanted - Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People — Tired of the status quo. Ready to go deeper in your walk with the Lord. If so, this
course will point you to a road of genuine spiritual transformation. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. SANYA KING
Living God’s Will — What should I do Lord? . This course explores the road to God’s will.
Each lesson takes a look at a different signpost that reflects God’s will. You will be challenged
to recognize the signposts and to God’s leading. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. DONALD KING
Worship From the Tabernacle — What is the right way to worship God? This course
invites students to worship God in God’s way through the “Object Lesson” of the Tabernacle,
Jesus Christ. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. CLAUDINE MARSHALL
Foundations is a fresh, innovative curriculum about the essential truths of the Christian faith
and how these truths are to be lived out. This course is mandatory for new members but is also
available to the congregation. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. WILLIAM BRYANT
The Disciple’s Prayer Life study will lead you to develop intimacy with God and effec-
tiveness in your prayer life. No matter where you are in your walk with God, you can develop a
deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. GENE TROY
The Mind of Christ will challenge you to think the thoughts of Christ - to have the mind of
Christ. This course is based on the magnificent challenge found in Philippians 2:5-11. INSTRUCTOR:
MIN. CURTIS JOYNER
Spiritual Warfare: Biblical Truth for Victory presents ways to know if you are in
spiritual warfare, reasons warfare may persist and actions to take during warfare. The study
also explores the schemes of Satan. INSTRUCTOR: MIN. ELMO VANCE
New classes will begin January 2011 (more details forthcoming). The classes will be offered

PRAYER OF UNITY
Lord, I ask the Grace that we
Can come together in Unity.
And work together for a common cause
And that is to tear down Satan’s walls.
For there is but one body & one head.
In this Body of Christ and by His Spirit we are fed
Not one body of denomination and one body of tradition
Not one body of self-righteousness
Because that’s a body of division!
But only one body, the Body of Jesus Christ.
Must we all come together, for this you paid the price.
You told us that the harvest was plentiful, but the laborers are few.
There are many hurting that need to give their lives to you.
Please empower us and give us boldness of speech.
Help us to line up with your will and be cleansed so we
Can go forth and teach.
A sinner about your Grace
And his sins you will erase
If he gives his life to you.
We can assist him in following through.
Help us to let go of our sins,
And if necessary, begin again.
Help us to discover our gifts
So we can use them to give others a lift.
Help us to lay down differences and come together as one
Help us to begin to pray together and help each other overcome.
Before time runs out and this world comes to an end.
In Jesus Name I pray, AMEN!

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after
communing with God, his face shone — reflecting the
glory of God. When the children of Israel saw the
glory of God on his face, they were afraid to come
near him. But Moses convinced them to return to
him and told them everything that the Lord had spoken to him on Mount Sinai. When he finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. In Exodus
34, we are told that whenever Moses went before the
Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off
until he came out; and he would come out and speak
to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded and put the veil back on his face.
In the third chapter of 2 Corinthians, Paul tells us that
Moses wore the veil so that the children of Israel
could not look steadily at the end of what was fading
away. What was fading? The glory of the Lord that
shone on the face of Moses was fading. Why was it
fading? The Law had just been given but the people
were not told that this system was only temporary.
The truth was the covenant of Law was a preparation
for something greater to come at a later date.
Paul also tells us that there was a “spiritual veil” over
the minds and hearts of the children of Israel which
prevented them from recognizing the truth about their
own Messiah. Even though the Old Testament scriptures were being read in the synagogues, the Jewish
people did not grasp the spiritual message God had
given them. They were blinded by their own religion.
But just as Moses removed his veil whenever he
turned to God, when one turns to the Lord, the
“spiritual veil” is taken away in Christ. No sinner can
turn to Christ without the Holy Spirit. Paul tells us:
… the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty (2 CORINTHIANS 3:17). The
Law can only bring bondage, but the Spirit gives us
freedom from sin, death, and the condemnation of law
and introduces us to a life of liberty.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into
the same image from glory to glory, just as by the
Spirit of the Lord (2 CORINTHIANS 3:18). The mirror is
P AGE 4
a symbol of the Word of God (JAMES 1:22-25). We
know from JOHN 1:
1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. ... 14And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, …
As we study and meditate on God’s Word and in it
see Jesus, the Spirit transforms us into the very image
of God. The word “transformed” describes a change
on the outside that comes from the inside. We become more like Jesus Christ as we grow from “glory
to glory.” As we look into the Word of God and become hearers and doers of the Word, our countenance
should become more and more like Jesus. Just as a
mirror reflects the color of your eyes, after looking
into the Word of God, do your eyes reflect: … the
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that
you may know what is the hope of His calling, ...
(EPHESIANS 1:18)? Just as you look into a mirror, stick
out your tongue and say Ahhh. After looking into the
Word of God, do you say Ahhh and examine your
tongue for: … He who would love life And see good
days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his
lips from speaking deceit (I PETER 3:10).
Just as you look into a mirror to check yourself from
head to toe before leaving the house, after looking
into the Word of God are you fully dressed from head
to toe having girded your waist with truth, having put
on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod
your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you
will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the Word of God?
It has been said that you (your walk and your talk)
may be the only Bible some people will ever read.
When people look at you, what image do they see?
If they can’t see the image of Christ, perhaps your
mirror might need a little cleansing from the Word of
God.

MISSION STATEMENT: To glorify GOD through drama so that
one might see and say, “What must I do to be saved?”
The Drama Ministry is charged with presenting a Christmas Production
and various plays. It is to show people through dramatization
how we interpret different stories from the Bible and
fictional stories with a Christian or Spiritual meaning.
In order to give GOD excellence, we provide understanding of the stories written
by explaining and giving information needed, and as a result the cast and crew
will be able to display unity and give great performances.
Our productions and plays are written by our very own members.
If you are a member of our Springfield family and are interested in participating
in any of our upcoming productions or plays, we invite you to come out and
audition when the opportunity is presented.

It is our mission to uphold the values and commandments
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, by teaching men to
take their rightful place as Godly men. We strive to strengthen
our households and marriages while building the army of Christ.
The Men’s Ministry teaches men how to apply God’s word to their lives in conjunction with
the Holy Spirit and not rely on just what is seen.
This ministry encourages men, when called upon, to lead the topic of discussion, open with a
scripture or lead the ministry in prayer. The teaching of men becoming the head of their
household as God leads and requires is a constant goal of this ministry.
We invite ALL SBC men to minister with us every Monday night at 7 p.m. in the James A.
Gibson Fellowship Hall.

The mission of the History Committee is to collect and retain the history of Springfield
Baptist Church. We accomplish this by taking pictures and writing about the events of
the church and making it available to our members. We will achieve this mission
through and by the will of God.
A Bit of SBC History
Under the leadership of Rev. Essex Blake
(1866-1891), the first service was held under a
bush arbor on the east side of Mount Moriah
Baptist Church (mother church of SBC).
The first church building (now the Springfield
Community Center) was erected under the
leadership of Rev. Alex Jones (1895-1907).
The first person to describe Springfield Baptist
Church as “the friendly church in the curve”
was Rev. Ollie H. Brodie (1949-1963).
In 1977, Rev. Thomas B. Jiles was the first
member ordained a minister at SBC.
In 1979, Sis. Jesse Pearl Moore was elected
SBC’s first Minister of Music.
Rev. Daniel Sanders became the 12th Pastor
of SBC in June 1980 and he’s still here.
On March 27, 1990, the SBC congregation
marched from the old church, across the road,
to worship in our new sanctuary (now known as
the James A. Gibson Fellowship Hall).
The first church newsletter, Springfield Baptist
Church News, was issued February 10, 1991.
In May 2002, the first worship service was held
in SBC’s current sanctuary.

Equipment Company (a job he loved). While driving the company van on November 12, 1984, a
car hit him head-on resulting in a large blood clot
on his brain. He was not able to continue working. His wife, daughter and three sons loved,
cared and nursed him back to health. Most of all,
he is thankful that God has kept him and he
knows God’s love for him will never fail.
Bro. Richardson realizes God’s blessings are
overflowing and he is experiencing THE BLESSINGS through his wonderful Springfield family and
the wonderful leadership of Pastor Sanders. He
has been a SBC member for five years and is a

As you may remember, the Sunday School Class taught by Deacon Anthony Jenkins and Minister
Sanya King has been running an Incentive Program. This program is designed to help students be
more prepared for class. The students are asked to: (1) arrive before 9 a.m. (Sunday School starts at
8:30 a.m.), (2) come prepared with their Bible, paper and pen and (3) participate in class discussion.
For each requirement, the students earn 5 points, for a maximum of 15 points per class.
In our third run of the Incentive Program, we have six winners. The winners are: Kayla Clarke and
Olivia Gibson, (both have won three times), Rashaun Rodgers and Amber Smith, (both have won two
times), and Rebecca Spann and Joshua Spann, (both won for the first time).
The prizes varied this time around. We had three grand prize winners. The grand prize was a $50
Visa gift card for each student to use with their parents’ supervision. In order to receive the grand
prize, students had to earn a minimum of 195 points. The grand prize winners were: Olivia Gibson,
Rashaun Rodgers and Amber Smith. Amber led the class in total points, far exceeding the 195-point
requirement. Kayla Clarke, Rebecca Spann and Joshua Spann each won a bucket of choice candy.
They all have done a fantastic job. When you see them, please be sure to congratulate them.

SARAH DUMAS, SYRS, a Needham Broughton High School senior, attended the National Bar Association’s 10th annual Crump Law Camp this summer. The camp was held at Howard University, in
Washington, DC, from July 11 to July 24. Sarah was one of only 32 campers selected from over
2,000 applicants nationwide.
Only 3.9 percent of the nation’s lawyers are people of color, and the goal of the Crump Law Camp is
to encourage students of color to attend college and law school. It introduces high school students
(between the ages of 14 to 17) to the civil and criminal justice system by distinguished law professors
at Howard University. The National Bar Association (NBA) believes the camp provides an extraordinary opportunity for an enriched experience to the targeted age group.
During the afternoons, students experience the history of the nation’s capital; visit the courts, museums, and other significant sites. Students are paired with attorney mentors who offer academic guidance, as well as career counseling. Students also learn trial techniques and compete to participate in
the Evett L. Simmons Mock Trial Competition that is held during the National Bar Association’s Annual
Convention. Students who attend the Law Camp are paired with college and law students, professors, and practicing attorneys to serve as mentors as they continue through high school, college, and
even law school.
The Crump Law Camp is named after John L. Crump who served as the NBA’s Executive Director for
over thirty-years, and is currently Executive Director Emeritus of the NBA. The NBA has a network of
over 44,000 members representing African American members of the bar who are lawyers, judges,
law professors, and law students.
According to Sarah: “The camp was fun. I met all types of people
from all over the United States, even as far away as the Virgin Islands
and California. We worked hard during morning and afternoon
classes preparing for mock trials by reading over and discussing various cases. We also spent time in study group sessions. Our actual
classes were held at the Howard University Law School. For fun, we
went on various field trips to places like The Newseum, Superior
Court of DC, bowling, and to Kings Dominion.
Sarah is the young lady on the left.
This was my first experience living in a dorm room and being away from home for
more than one week. At the end of camp, we all were sad to leave each other, but
glad to be going home. Since camp, we have remained in contact with each other.
I recently “met up” with my roommate, Takiyah, while on her visit to North Carolina to tour colleges.”

THE GIVER
There once was a man who loved to give
For within his soul, the Holy Spirit did live
He did not have much but before a dime was spent,
He helped the poor and gave his ten percent
And so he lived each day with his needs being met
And he worshipped and gave with no regret
THE TAKER
There once was a man who only lived for gain
For within his soul a spirit of greed seemed to reign
Although he had a lot, he wanted more and more
And he refused to give to the church or help the poor
And so he lived thinking wealth was vital
And he worshipped money as though an idol
THE GREAT ORCHESTRATOR
One day the taker proudly went to work with his briefcase and cell on his hip
Only to be met at the door with his office packed and a pink slip
And so he walked out in anguish with his head hanging down
Pain quenched his chest and he fell to the ground
The giver soon walked by where the taker laid
And although on his way to work, he immediately began first aid
Soon the EMS came and thanked the giver for trying to bring him back
But sadly announced that the taker had died of a heart attack
The giver then ran to his job, remembering he was newly hired
Only to be greeted by an angry boss who exclaimed, “You’re fired!”
As days passed for the giver, financially things became hard
But he continued to pray and praise the Lord
One night when the giver was about to go to bed
He opened up a letter that had been sitting on the counter and this is what it said,
“Thank you for trying to save my brother. He was quite a wealthy man
and since he has no heirs, we want his money to go in your hand.”
With tears in his eyes, realizing from whom the check had really been sent
He prepared to rise early to help the poor and give his ten percent!

JAMES 1:22-25 (NIV)
22Do
not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says
is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror
24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,
