Encouragement Message

Dear BBC Family;

I just wanted to encourage you all for the tremendous effort of love and support that you provided to the Mills and Fox families these past 7 weeks.  I was once again impressed how the church family came together not only in financial giving, but the day of the funeral with so many of you lending a hand.  It was a tangible way of seeing the glory of God in our midst.  Second, the spirit of last Tuesday night’s meeting was also very evident, with a sense of hope being a clear sign in front of us.  Thank you for the support you are giving to Dr. Grant but also to the transitional team; it has not been an easy job and yet this past meeting gives us all the desire to see the glory of God be evident in all the parts of the church family.  Thanks again for your continued prayerful dependence on God, that He gets the glory in the end just as was evident at Colleen’s celebration of life service.  As we meet together as one church next week at our Sacred Assembly, may we seek God together and see how He wants to be honored by us and how the overflow of His love to us will affect our love for one another.  As Hebrews 10:24Open Link in New Window says, “and let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

Blessings in Christ, Pastor Tim

A Message From Pastor Tim

Dear BBC family – I was especially proud of you all for the way our celebration of The Eaglesons went yesterday. The worship time and special music was great to hear and be a part of. The video montage was a nice touch and to hear the wide spectrum of the church family, gave you a good feel of how well Glen and Kimberly had made an impact on you all.  The luncheon was done very well and to see the constant line up of well wishers to Glen and Kimberly was again  a tribute to their service here.  It is obvious that the gift of giving is not just in giving dollars, but your talents, your spiritual gifts and most of all your hearts. May you continue to give of yourselves in the days and weeks to come to not only the BBC family but to those who are out and beyond our community. Again thanks to the hospitality teams who helped serve, the techies who kept things moving along nicely, the ushers for seating people. It was a good day, the Lord was glorified and you made another impression on a pastor who has shepherded you.  May we all continue to spur one another unto love and good deeds (Heb. 10:24Open Link in New Window)

Blessings in Christ

Pastor Tim
