Hi Everyone,
It was such a wonderful morning of worship! Our children led us in worship as they shared their VBS musical/drama with all of us. I want to thank our Children’s Minister, Kristin Wilsey, and her incredible crew of volunteers for blessing our kids during the week. You are absolutely the best. I also want to thank our kids. You blew us all away with your beautiful smiles and awesome voices! God has a wonderful plan for each of these kids and it is so exciting to be able to watch it begin to unfold isn’t it!
At the end of our service we welcomed some new folks to BCC. I want to encourage you to welcome Len Cason and his sons, Roger and Paul. I also want to ask you to share your excitement with Tucker and Treyce Freeman and Kayle Arechiga. You know each of these kids as they’ve been around BCC a long time. Tucker and Treyce are the children of Samantha Freeman; Kayle Arechiga is the daughter of our Youth Pastor, Ray and Sylvia Arechiga. Each of these kids came forward to accept Jesus in their hearts and follow Him in baptism. Actually, Tucker and Treyce had already accepted Jesus into their hearts, but they want to be baptized. We are going to meet with these kids this week and plan their soon coming baptism.
I never cease to be amazed at God’s hand at work among us. He continues to draw people from all walks of life to BCC. I pray that we will continue to let the light of our glorious Savior continue to shine brightly at BCC. Pray for our leadership as we plan for the Fall. We have some exciting new Bible studies that we will be offering and some new ministry opportunities to get involved with as well. Have a great week.
In His Steps,
Mike
Praise the Lord for a new playground! The new playground system has been installed and the playground is almost ready for use! There were several amazing men and women who put in many hours of hard work in order to assemble the unit. We had at least 15 various people helping out throughout our 2-day installation. Thank you to all of those who took the time to help out! 
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this coming weekend! Over the past few months the Lord has been at work at BCC in such a powerful way. I will spare you all the details, but suffice it to say that the Lord, working through His people, has provided for our kids one of the most awesome playgrounds that you could ever imagine. This coming Saturday, July 8th, a group of people are coming together to assemble and install our new playground so that all of us together will be able to dedicate it to the glory of God on Sunday morning.
I’m putting a couple of pictures of the playground (blank space) on the blog so that you can compare “what was” to “what is!” Isn’t God good! I can honestly say that one of greatest blessings of being around BCC through the past 16 years is watching God work in ways so that only He gets the glory. It is so much fun to watch it happen. Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about. I asked our Board last month if they knew that we were raising money for a new playground? None of them knew that a new playground was on the “wish list.” I told them that we didn’t need to raise the money because God had already provided it! Everyone was so excited because they all knew how badly we needed a new playground, but because we needed an indestructible playground it was financially not possible at this time. What is impossible with people is well within the reach of the Lord!
