MEALS TEAM MINISTRY

We would like to invite anyone who isn’t already a member of meals ministry to join us! All you need to do is send Sidney Salvevold a text (763-331-4474) that you would like to be added to the list. After joining, your level of commitment is totally up to you. You can sign up as much or as little as you want/can. On the flip side, if you have been on the list for a long time and want or need to take a break, please let us know so we can remove you from the list. Bringing someone a meal is such a simple way to bless them, and we would love to have you join us in this ministry!

CARE ‘N PRAYER MINISTRY – PRAYING FOR YOU!

In an endeavor to feel more connected during this time where we aren’t getting together as much as groups, the BEFC Women’s Ministry has put together a group of women that will in turn reach out to each woman of BEFC.  These Care ‘n Prayer leaders will be reaching out to you occasionally to see how you are and if you have any prayer requests/needs.  These leaders will continue to pray for you. There is no commitment on your part, we just want to intentionally be in prayer for each one of the women in our church family.

We are so thankful for each of you and pray that God continues to strengthen your hearts during this unusual season.  May you draw near to God and dig into His Word for encouragement and growth.

MOMS (Making Our Mothering Significant)

MOMS (Making Our Mothering Significant) – STARTING SEPTEMBER 19

HEART TO HEART MENTORING MINISTRY

HEART TO HEART MENTORING MINISTRY
Hello BEFC Women and High School Girls! The Mentoring Ministry will be kicking off in October!

Why do we have a Mentoring Ministry?
We need one another! 1 Thessalonians 2:8 “Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to
share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well.”
What is the Mentoring Ministry?
A mentoring relationship is a vital part of the church, nurturing spiritual growth and preparing people
for ministry. Not only does the mentee benefit, but the mentor also grows in their faith. Proverbs
27:17 reminds us “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” God uses mentoring to
strengthen the faith of everyone involved and to equip people to put their faith into action. By
meeting, studying, praying, supporting, and having fun together, we grow together in our faith.
How does it work?
While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mentoring, we encourage each pair to meet twice a
month from October through April. One of the most beautiful aspects of this ministry has been the
organic mentoring that has developed over the years. These mentoring relationships have become
an integral part of BEFC’s DNA, extending far beyond formal programming. Praise God!
How do I sign up?
Please complete THIS ONLINE FORM to indicate whether you’d like to be a mentor or mentee.
You’ll also have the opportunity to share your goals for the relationship. If you have a
preference for who you’d like to meet with, we’ll do our best to accommodate it. Please
submit the form by October 6th. Gwen and Shannon will match pairs and notify you of your
partner by October 20th.

If you are interested in being mentored or mentoring someone, please contact Gwen Paulson (text: 612-202-3040 or paulsongwen@gmail.com) or Shannon Nuest (text: 763-210-8734 or snuest32@gmail.com)

One final thing…did you know that you are being prayed for? Every woman in our church has been assigned to a member of our Prayer and Care team, to lift them up in prayer. They may reach out to you during the year to see if there are any specific prayer requests you may have. Thank you to Cambria for coordinating this sweet ministry!

We hope you’ve found a way to connect, grow or serve!  We are so grateful to be church family!

Women’s Ministry
Mission statement:
BEFC women’s ministry exists to glorify God by bringing women into a vibrant, personal relationship with our Savior and provide opportunities for them to grow spiritually, to fellowship and encourage one another, and to equip them to serve Him in our homes, church, community and around the world.

The several ways we provide these opportunities are:
1. Connecting:
Socials: Purpose is to fellowship with and encourage women in our church and community in informal gatherings, to touch them with the love of Christ, and to draw them closer to Him.
Showers: Offered to encourage and equip newly engaged or expectant women to serve the Lord beginning in their homes.

2. Growing:
Bible studies: Designed to help women grow in their relationship with the Lord. Times offered: Wednesday mornings at the Becker Baptist Hub building, Wednesday evenings during Hiz Kids.
Dig Deeper seminar: Previously offered several times per year to teach women how to dig deeper in personal Bible study. Offered now as the need arises.

3. Serving:
Meals Ministry: Serves members in our church and community with meals or other help when the need arises.
