Little Italy

Here we are ~ nearly halfway through the month of January & Valentine’s Day is just 4 weeks away.  Wow!  Before we know it BGSC will be celebrating it’s 4th anniversary!

We will continue with part two of our new six-part series this week.  Our potluck theme is, “Little Italy” & we’ll be celebrating a birthday.  Pasta & several sauces will be provided, along with a huge “Olive Garden” themed salad, garlic bread, drink & birthday dessert.  Feel free to bring a side dish of your choice or nothing at all.....as you know, we ALWAYS have mountains of food to share!

 

FYI....Youth Arbor Services (a local Lexington shelter for teens/families) is still in need of twin sheet sets, pillows, & towels (preferably white so they can be bleached).

Last week the pastor of Twin Pines CC celebrated her 10 year anniversary with their congregation.  On behalf of BGSC, we presented her with a card & a gift edition of The Desire of Ages.  Just wanted to let you all know!  She has been really wonderful to work with & we are blessed to be able to meet together each Sabbath in such a delightful space.

THANK YOU!  We delivered a load of blankets to the Salvation Army this week & they were thrilled.  These bitter temps have depleted their supplies & so they were very grateful for our donations.

Don’t forget to invite your friends & family to “like” BGSC’s Facebook page!  You can find us under Bluegrass Simple Church.  Click “share” under any of our posts or links, & voila...it will appear on your own personal FB home page.  You can also write a “review” of BGSC & post it on our page ~ giving it 1 to 5 stars.  There is also an option under the main heading called “invite friends to like this page.”  Click that, & a list of your FB friends will pop up & you can invite them personally.  Thank you!

Is anyone interested in making dinner at the Ronald McDonald House again this year?  Does anyone have another community project they think BGSC could participate in?  Looking for new outreach ideas!
