OPPORTUNITY FAIR SEPT. 12
It’s not too early to start planning for our annual Opportunity Fair, Sept. 12.  If you lead a ministry at BEFC you are encouraged to reserve a table to promote your ministry.  Please reserve a table by contacting Wendy Jundt before Sept. 1. 
 
ADULT DISCIPLE U AND SERMON SERIES THIS FALL
Pastor Dave has chosen to spend the first 6 weeks of adult Disciple U and a coordinated sermon series on “The Hole in Our Gospel.”  Pastor will endeavor to help us make sense of our ministry priorities.  Soft cover books will soon be available for only $5 each.  This book has been a catalyst for God inspired change of your pastor and many others at BEFC.
 
BENEFIT FOR THE BRUSKAS
There will be a benefit held for the Bruska family on Thursday, August 26th at the Becker City Park from 4-8 pm.  Carnival games, face painting, crazy hair, dunk tank, silent auction, food and a concert by Dennis Warner (author of Beads on One String).  Tickets are $20 a family or $10 a person.  We are in need of silent auction items as well as many volunteers.  Anyone interested or wanting to buy tickets please contact Jill Cook, Mary Larson or Cindy Marholz.
 
PRAYER WALK
Annual prayer walk for the school year will be held on Sundy, August 29 - 6 pm at the Becker High School flagpole.  Contact Lynel Johnson with any questions.
 
ITEMS WANTED
We are looking for items for our 4-pre K class toy bin.  Items wanted:  new or gently used Polly Pockets and accessories, pet shops, and small legos.  Please contact Julie Toedter if you would like to donate any of these items.
 
FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN
We will be going to FMSC on Saturday, September 18 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.  This will be adults only  and we will be stopping for supper after.  Contact Sam Jundt if you are interested in going.
 
SMALL GROUP LEADERS NEEDED
Small groups will be starting up in the fall and we need leaders to get them going. This fall the groups will be meeting socially so that we can build relationships with other families at BEFC. Our intent is that the families in these will form friendships and will continue on with small groups in January. This winter we'd like to offer small group topics such as parenting, Bible growth, topical studies, etc. However, our first step is recruiting leaders ... so if you're even slightly interested, please call Barry or Gretchyn for more information. (We promise not to do a high-pressure sales pitch on you ... unless you say no!) In all seriousness, feel free to call us with any questions.
 
HIS KIDZ LEADER MEETING
There will be a meeting immediately after church this morning for anyone who has volunteered to help or anyone interested in helping with His Kidz this year.
