Irresistible Church Training

We are fortunate to have in our own backyard a special gathering of all kinds of Jesus folks who have room in their hearts for families affected by disability. It’s coming up in one month, on Friday night and Saturday morning, March 6 and 7 at Jacksonville Presbyterian Church. Hosted by Joni and Friends Oregon, it will include workshops, training, church networking, fellowship, and worship with like-minded leaders and volunteers. There is a special guest speaker, and there will be treats. As a church wanting to do right by our special-needs families, the more folks from BCC (and EVERYONE on the Disability Ministry Team) who attend, the better equipped we’ll be to fulfill the church’s mandate to reach the lost and hurting.

Weekly Announcements

Here are some announcements both for opportunities within our church, and in our community.
 
 
 
This Sunday we’ll enjoy lunch after the 2nd service.  If you’re able, please bring a large side dish to go with pizza.  Also, don’t miss out on the fun by participating in our Kids Kookie Kontest.
Communion: This Sunday we’ll serve communion twice – at the end of each sermon.  If you (or your children) go to Sunday School during the 2nd service then you’ll want to attend the 1st service for communion.  Also, because we believe the preaching of God’s Word is most beneficial (for both young and old) we’d suggest attending the 1st service if you do go to a class during 2nd service.  Communion will continue to be served twice a month (1st and 3rd Sundays), and to give more people an opportunity to partake, we will serve it (3rd Sundays only) after each sermon.  On the 1st Sunday of the month, we’ll keep to our regular practice of serving communion during the singing in the 2nd service.  Please feel free to reply to this e-mail with any input or questions about this change.
Small Groups: There are several opportunities for you to connect and grow at BCC.  Check out our list various small groups for men, women, and teens.
