CALLED OUT QUARTET
BBC HAS BEEN BLESSED to host Called Out Quartet (CO4) from Tennessee in 2008 and 2009, and we are delighted that they will be returning to BBC on Saturday, August 28, at 7:00 p.m. The group will also sing at each morning service on August 29. For those who aren’t as familiar with Southern Gospel, on their website it is described as, “real music touching real people. There is no deeper tradition in Southern Gospel than the all-male quartet, and it’s in that tradition that Called Out Quartet sings today. Formed in 2002, Called Out Quartet is quickly becoming one of Southern Gospel’s favorite quartets as they mix tried and true hymns with the new songs of today that still have that same old message of Christ and Him crucified. Through testimony in song, CO4 sets out week after week to reach the lost with God’s beautiful message of redemption and to encourage and lift up His children.”
NEW MEMBER INFORMATION SESSION
PASTOR DOUG WILL LEAD an information session for prospective new members of BBC on Sunday afternoon, August 29, at 4:00 p.m. Are you just beginning to think about becoming a member? Would you like to know more about us? Have you already decided to make BBC your spiritual home? Please join Pastor Doug on the 29th. All are welcome!
FAMILY CAMPING WEEKEND
BBC IS PLANNING another Family Camping Weekend at Oceanwood in Ocean Park Maine for Columbus Day Weekend, October 8–11, from Friday night after dinner until Monday after breakfast. This will be a work weekend, so families will donate a small portion of their time to help out around the camp. This special weekend is filled with lots of fun and times of devotion. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Jeni Byrne.
WIDOW’S MIGHT
THE WIDOW’S MIGHT WILL MEET for lunch on Thursday, August 26, at 12:30 p.m., at The Riverway, Route 28, in South Yarmouth. Please contact Elizabeth Covell by Monday, August 23, for reservations. New members are cordially invited to join the group.
FAMILY FUN NIGHT
THIS MONTH’S FAMILY FUN NIGHT is scheduled for August 21, from 5:00–8:00 p.m. Despite the rain in July, we had a good turnout, and both kids and adults had a chance to spend some time getting to know Pastor Dave, Jen and Abby. We hope to see even more people join us this month for our potluck dinner (please bring a salad, main dish or dessert to share) and activities for all ages. Everyone from the church family is encouraged to attend these wonderful evenings. If you have any questions, contact Jeni Byrne.
WANTED
WANTED: DRIED MONEY PLANTS (also known as Silver Dollar plants) to sell at the Holiday Fair. They are very popular and sell well when tied in bunches. Please pick and bring to BBC in a large plastic bag on Sunday or during the week. Dried hydrangeas are also still needed. Questions? Contact Janet Bantly.
HELP!! FOR THE HOMELESS PREVENTION COUNCIL
YOU MAY HAVE READ in the August 9 edition of the Cape Cod Times that the Homeless Prevention Council is in serious trouble because they have lost state funds this month. The state suggests that they need to rely on private donations. How can you help? Our church has been part of a program that sells gift cards for grocery stores. You buy the gift card at face value ($l00, $50, $25) and get full value at the store when you use it. But the Homeless Prevention Council gets 3–5% of the face value. These cards can be bought from the office after church with a check made out to “Homeless Prevention Council” or with cash (please have the exact amount).
ITEMS AT THE WELCOME CENTER
IF YOU ELECTED to have your photo directory pictures sent to BBC, please pick them up at the Welcome Center.
THOSE WHO SIGNED UP for a VBS DVD, please pick up your copy at the Welcome Center.
