WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDIES

WOMEN’S SUMMER BIBLE STUDY – COLOSSIANS
This summer we’ll be digging into Colossians. Our summer studies are designed to foster community as they are small and meet in homes. We’ve tried to offer different dates to fit summer plans and options for morning and evening. The beauty of these studies is in coming together each week to learn what God has taught each of us.Please prayerfully consider joining one! Even if you have to miss a time or two due to summer plans…it will be worth it!
Here are your options:
*Thursday Evenings: 6-8m. July 13-August 10. Meeting at Cambria Dupay’s home. (16274 63rd St., Becker)
*Wednesday Evenings: 5-7pm. July 26-August 23. Led by Katie Ley, meeting at Sarah Westin’s home. (13600 Edgewood St, Becker)
*Monday Mornings: 10am-12pm. June 12-July 10. Meeting at Kayla Dorweiler’s home. (11249 42nd St SE, Clear Lake)

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.

MEALS MINISTRY
Here are a few words from Kami P., our Meals Ministry coordinator:
Love to cook? Love to help others in need? If so, we need you! The Meals Ministry is looking to add members to its team of meal providers. When a need (birth, surgery, death of a loved one, etc…) arises a notification goes out to our team and if you are able to help out, great!! If that date doesn’t work, there will always be others that arise throughout the year. Jump in whenever it works for you to serve! It may be once a year or 10 times a year, it is your choice. We simply encourage you to consider joining this team as a way to serve in our church and community!! It is truly heartwarming to deliver a meal to someone who needs it and see their smile of appreciation!! If you would like to join this team or would like more information about this ministry, please contact Kami P.
