#1. As everyone knows by now, winter has arrived in full force here in the mountains. We pray everyone stays safe and warm. If you or someone you know is in need of help with staying warm, please let us know. I do have some connections to help get small heaters, some propane, blankets, gloves, etc. Many churches in our county are willing and able to help with needed items for staying warm.
#2 We are excited to announce that our Wednesday night kids ministry will be cranking back up the first Wednesday in February! We will have classes from pre-school through youth. There will be a meal, Bible classes, and activities planned each week. Of course, there will be a message and prayer time for adults as usual. Stay tuned for more info in the next couple weeks!
#3 After the storm, Bear Creek Baptist Church became a hub of ministry and activities. We housed workers, cooked, served, and delivered meals, became a supply and distribution center, etc. The Lord allowed Bear Creek to minister to the needs of literally thousands of people during the aftermath of the storm. We are so grateful at how God blessed and supplied our needs during that time. As needed, we changed our schedule to do what needed to be done. We are happy to announce that our Sunday evening service will start back up this Sunday evening at 6pm! (Weather permitting of course!)
Just like others, many in our church family took a big hit from storm damage. But God allowed us to move forward in ministry while we were all trying to clean up and recover ourselves. Our church building itself took damage and we're having to navigate around a heating system that just hasn't been right since the storm. Even with all the challenges we have faced and the challenges ahead of us, we are trusting the Lord to meet every need as He always does. We are so excited with how the Lord has been working in our church family and are looking forward to what He has in store for the days ahead. As pastor and as always, I will continue to preach the gospel of Christ, we will strive to disciple the believers and exalt the name of Jesus in all we do.If you do not have a church family, I invite to come be with us. Maybe you've been out of church for a while and it's time for you to get back on track, come be with us! Maybe you've never been to church, come be with us! I promise you will be welcomed, loved on and taught the truth of God's word and His love for you! Everyone is welcomed to join with us as we strive to live for our Savior Jesus! Preacher Chris
