Farewell for Vadens — Sunday July 19, 6-8pm. Brief Devotional & Music beginning at 6:50pm. Join us at the McNally's yard (90 Riverview Ave, BC) for a night of saying goodbye to Jared & Heather Vaden as they will be moving to Mississippi the first week of August. There will be a 20-25 min. program (devotional, a few worship songs, celebration for the goodness of the Lord & power of his Gospel on our behalf. Jared & Heather are our missionaries with Ethnos 360 (Jackson). They are in transition and need to do training in Mississippi for the next few years. Our yard is nearly fully in the shade by then, and we have sprayed to reduce mosquitos. We will be serving soft drinks & water and pre-packaged snacks. If anyone would like to bring some of these things, let Pastor Rick know. Families & children welcome.

Benevolent Fund — is currently not strongly funded. If you can help with special giving, now is a great time. Or If you’re privy to anyone in our congregation struggling in a financial/physical way, please share that with any Deacon or Deaconess.

Coronavirus — as our country and community weathers this situation, please be courteous of others. There are a few things we can do to help everyone by limiting the potential spread of this virus. After the service please consider not shaking the pastor’s (or speaker’s) hand, but rather just greet him and each other without that traditional greeting. Wash your hands regularly. Use hand sanitizer regularly. If your kids are sick, please consider keeping them home. If you think you have been exposed to something, self-quarantine. If you think you are personally in a high risk category, self-quarantine. We should not be in fear, but rather live respectfully with each other.
