BC Happenings/Service Opportunities
Café Ministry for July l Sunday Breakfast Mission Backpack Giveaway
Sunday Breakfast Mission in Wilmington, Delaware is having a Back-to-School Rally in August in which they will give each child in Grades K-8, a backpack filled with school supplies. By providing these backpacks for children and their families, Sunday Breakfast Mission is able to share God's great love and hope to many who are hurting and struggling in their local neighborhoods. The profits from the café this month will be given to SBM to purchase school supplies and backpacks. You can find out more HERE.
School Supplies Needed for our Lighthouse Kids
Our kids from Lighthouse will be here in Bel Air on August 14-18 for their Annual Summer Camp and as part of their time here, we would like to get them “school ready”! Saturday, August 17 has been designated as the shopping day! We are hoping some of you might be able to adopt a child or a family and shop with them that Saturday and/or contribute directly for school supplies. See Bambi Steelman for more info. If you would like to be a blessing to our Lighthouse kids, you can contribute online HERE or mark your check “Lighthouse School Supplies”.
BC Church Family Picnic l Wednesday, July 31, 6:00PM-8:00PM
We will have the opportunity to gather together with other families to share a meal and enjoy each other's company. Bring your own picnic dinner. The Dudes will set up and provide drinks. The Women of Faith will provide desserts. There will be outdoor games for the kids and live music. Please sign-up HERE for this event!
School Pal Paks Needed
It’s only July, but school supplies are already out in the stores, so it’s a great time to assemble a School Pal Pak! School Pal Paks are sent to the Compassionate Ministries Center, who in turn ships them around the world to needy children. We received a large donation of scissors, erasers and pencil sharpeners, so if you need these items to complete your kit, let us know. You can pick up a bag with all of the info at the Welcome Center.
