The Masters

Hey there April ~ we’re glad you’re finally here!  We are looking forward to seeing you and your family at BGSC this weekend!  Our potluck theme is "The Masters" in honor of the famous golf final being held this weekend in Augusta, GA.  If desired, bring a favorite Spring dish to share.  There will be several golf themed items such as the famous egg salad and pimiento cheese served to onlookers in Augusta....along with peach iced tea and other sides.  Feel free to get “golf creative.”  We will also celebrate any April birthdays or anniversaries!

As usual...the adult Bible study will take place in the fellowship area by the fireplace and the youth will meet in the adjacent side rooms.

Don’t forget to bring your prayer requests this week ~ we have index cards available so you can make notes & share them during the worship service.  See Grace Anderson if you would like your requests added to the prayer chain...

NOTE ~ BGSC is still collecting “underwear for the underprivileged.”  In many orphanages overseas, there are simply not enough undergarments for the children housed in these facilities.  A friend in Jacksonville, FL who is adopting two teen boys from Ukraine is collecting packages of brand new underwear for youth (sizes 8 to 16).  Bring your items anytime in the next few weeks and they’ll be added to a box that will be shipped at the end of April.  Thank you for always coming through for those in need!
