EASTER SERVICES, March 31, 2024

Resurrection Sunday is Coming! We would like to invite you to Easter Services here at BCCC. Resurrection Sunday is a special day in which we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Resurrection Sunday is March 31, 2024.

SONRISE BREAKFAST - Tommy and Lori are fixing breakfast for us again on Resurrection Sunday morning at 8:00am. Please sign-up on the sheet available in the foyer so we know approximately the number of folks to be fed. We are also asking for volunteers to help with clean-up.

SUNDAY SCHOOL starts at 10:00am. We have an opening for the adults followed by class in the Sanctuary. David Grubb will be our teacher that Sunday Morning. We also have an alternative discussion oriented class for adults in room #201. The children are invited downstairs for Sunday School where they will enjoy singing, a lesson, activities and snacks. Teens and Preteens meet in room #202 for a fellowship, a lesson, and prayer.

WORSHIP SERVICE starts at 11:00am in the Sanctuary. This Sunday we will be having a special skit and a musical presentation by our children. We will have songs and partake of the Lord's Supper as well. We welcome you to worship with us.

We have special greeters that will be available to help you out. Please feel free to ask questions. They will be able to give you additional information, escort you to services or classes, and provide a guest package with information, services, and opportunities.

We hope to see you soon. Invite your friends, families, and acquaintances to join us.
