MANLY MAN’S CONFERENCE
The next Men's Spiritual Formation Team is Monday April 12th.  The last four sessions are open to all of the men of BEFC.  We will be watching Mark Gungor's video series  "The Manly Man Conference."  This series validates the God-given, positive qualities of men... instead of pointing out their weaknesses and failures. It's about validation not condemnation! Men of all ages can experience a self-awareness of who God has called them to be and a determination to live out that calling in their daily lives. The Manly Man Conference deals with hard-hitting issues concerning the role of a man in today's society.  If you are looking for instruction that will help challenge and equip you to be the MAN that God has called you to be - in your family, at your job, and in this world - then.... THIS SERIES IS FOR YOU!!  Sample video clips are available on www.themanlymanconference.com.   Contact Jason Kindred, Rick Krogstad, or Hokan Bengston for additional information.
 
FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY
A free introductory lesson to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University will be provided from 1 to 3PM on April 11th at the church office.  This is a free preview to the 13 week course we will be offering this summer.  The class is open to the public, so bring a friend and come learn about some great tools for staying on top of your personal finances.  Contact Jason Kindred if you are interested.
 
BOOK DONATIONS
Are you looking for a good place to donate your Christian fiction and non-fiction books? The Elk River Women's County Jail needs books to add to their inmate library. This is a great opportunity to bring the Good News to these women who need the Lord and His encouragement. Donations will be accepted after church on April 11th. Please give only soft cover books that have no PERSONAL INFORMATION in them.  Contact Jessica Tweten if you have any questions.
