St. Patty's Picnic

Dear BGSC Family & Friends,

“May the road rise to meet you....may the wind be always at your back....may the sun shine warm upon your face....and until we meet again may the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.”  Happy St. Patrick’s Day week!  Join us for o ur regular Bible study time, worship service, and potluck meal.  Our theme is of course, “St. Patty’s Picnic.”  If desired, bring a favorite Irish dish to share...or any Irish decorations you would like to bring for our buffet table!

Thanks to everyone who came out last Sabbath evening to help us make and serve dinner at the Ronald McDonald House!!!  I heard someone say, “this is the best meal we’ve had in such a long time!”  I think we had a total of 15 BGSC peeps show up and it was a lot of fun!  Check out our Facebook page for pictures!

Please keep the entire Kurzynske family in your prayers.....Rick & Janet lost their niece Michal day before yesterday.  She was only 37 years old.  I know they appreciate your prayers during this difficult time.  The funeral is this Friday in Georgia.  In addition, please continue to keep Victor and Patricia and family in your prayers.....Victor’s dad and Patricia’s sister are experiencing substantial health issues at this time.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for our church family!

Immediately following the funeral Friday evening, our BGSC family will host dinner at Twin Pines Christian Church where we meet each week.  We hope you and your family can join us for the meal.  The Austin’s are looking forward to visiting with you.  If you haven’t received the “meal train” link with online information regarding the meal and you would like to bring a dish, visit https://mealtrain.com/ylyl2y

Also ~ we have a couple of folks who may need rides on Friday to and/or from the visitation, funeral and mercy dinner.  If you are willing to provide transportation ~ please contact Melia or Andrew!  Thx!
