Eva M Thomas Book & Educational Materials 

Grant Application

The mounting cost of higher education even with substantial financial aid, often limits access for many of our students.  This grant is intended to help students with the purchase of books and educational materials, as those costs also steadily rise.  The grant is administered through Second Baptist Church on an annual basis for a three-year period beginning in 2023.  It is named in honor of the benefactor’s mother, the late Eva M. Thomas, a woman of faith and courage who believed in the power of prayer – and of education.  

The application deadline is March 31, 2025.

In the Rapture – https://www.folkstreams.net/films/in-the-rapture

In 1976, late folklorist Professor William Wiggins  filmed a religious drama, In the Rapture at Second Baptist Church staged by Mrs Margerine Hatcher and members of the Second Baptist Church Choir.    The original 16mm film is in the Indiana University Archives; however, Folkstreams.net is streaming a converted VHS version of the film on its website to view.  It’s truly wonderful to watch what Rev. Dr. E.D. Butler called “the demonstration of a group using their talents to portray an idea”.

You can access our live stream service by two platforms - Facebook  and YouTube -If you have not live-streamed our service before, do a search on Second Baptist Church Bloomington, IN. We will go live shortly before 10am .
