Mission Focus
Each week we are asking our congregation to be in prayer for one of our supported missionaries, local mission agency, and ministries. This week we are asking everyone to bring the Rupantaran Nepali Covenant Church, it’s pastor Rev. Amos Shakya, and his family to God in prayer. This outreach ministry continues to embrace the Nepali speaking people in nearby communities who as yet don’t know Jesus. Pastor Amos asks that we continue to pray for their salvation – for friends and relatives to come to know God. We especially want to hold up Pastor Amos and his family in prayer at this time. Amos and Roma’s new son Yabesh is now home after spending the first weeks of his life in the hospital and is doing well. Yarona continues to thrive and was overjoyed at being able to finally meet her brother. Just before Christmas, Amos’ mother died and he…
Community Groups
Community Groups are back! Our Community Groups meet once a month through April. We hope you all sign up to join us. This will be part of worship service on those Sundays. We’ve already started assigning groups, but would love for more to join us. You can still sign up by contacting Miranda in the church office.
Bulldog Breakfast
IMPORTANT CHANGES! Bulldog Breakfast will be taking on a new look. Due to low attendance, we still want to maintain the relationship with our BHS friends, but need to be respectful of our valuable volunteers and their time. With this in mind, we’ve decided to serve the students a continental breakfast instead of the usual big breakfast for a while. Because of this change, food donations will vary and we will only need 3 volunteers each week who are willing to set up, serve and clean up on Wednesdays. Even though fewer volunteers will be needed, we encourage anyone to join us to visit with the students and show God’s love to them. Please continue to pray for this ministry and the direction God wants us to take. Click here to view the meal train.
