Super Bowl Party:
BCF is having our first Super Bowl party on February 3. We will be holding a special "seeker-friendly" service beginning at 3:00 PM followed by food and fellowship time leading up to the game's kickoff at approximately 6:30. You can enjoy the world's single biggest sporting event on our big-screen projection system, and there will be board games and other fun activities for those of you who aren't football fans and just like parties.
There will be plenty of food and fun for everyone featuring a chili cookoff (we have some great cooks there!), and the admission is free! We only ask that you bring some non-perishable food to donate to our Helping Hands ministry, which supports Food and Friends that serves the metro DC area, helping people with AIDS and other life threatening illness receive nutritional meals at no cost to them.
Regardless of whether you’re rooting for the Patriots or Giants, you'll have fun sharing the Super Bowl experience with our church family. We hope to see you for the big game.
Remember, there will NOT be an 11:00 AM service that Sunday, only the one beginning at 3:00 PM.
Focus on Outreach:
BCF is getting serious about reaching out beyond the walls of the church to make an impact in our community. In my role as Pastor-In-Training, I brought a message last Sunday focused on the Great Commission (Matthew 26:28-30). I emphasized the urgency of sharing Christ with others, whether they be family, friends, or strangers, and discussed how to overcome the biggest obstacle toward doing so—ourselves and our fears of doing so poorly or being rejected.
BCF has also started a Loose Change collection for World Vision, and has also established a blog to keep members and guests alike updated about events, sermons, and prayer requests. Our goal is to develop a sense of community online that rivals the one in our Sunday services.
Someone is Getting Married:
Pastor Anita returned from her cruise with her boyfriend Dennis and closed the service with an exciting announcement; they are engaged to be married. Dennis popped the question on the cruise, and Anita happily accepted his proposal. They have been together a little over two years, and Dennis has been a regular attender of our services. The congregation was ecstatic about this wonderful news and wish them nothing but the best.
These updates will become a weekly feature here. For more information:
