BEFC Family,
At our monthly elder meetings, we usually begin by hearing a devotional from one of the team members. This past week, Tony shared a devotional on the importance of continuing in prayer from Nancy Guthrie’s book Praying through the Bible with Your Kids. We were encouraged by it and thought it would be worth sharing with the rest of the body as well! Check out the devotion HERE. With joy, The Elders
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – FINAL COLLECTION DATE NOVEMBER 16
Bless a child across the world with a Christmas gift and the Good News of Jesus Christ. This year we will be collecting your boxes at the church on November 16. Drop you boxes at the Welcome Table and we will take care of the rest. Pick up brochures at the Welcome Table.

CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL – DECEMBER 14
We invite you to join us on Sunday, December 14th for our Children’s Christmas Special. In this short program, BEFC kids will remind us about the true meaning of Christmas. Practice will take place during Children’s Church from now up until the performance. The performance will be at the start of the Sunday service and refreshments will follow. Please be sure to invite your family and friends to come and enjoy!
RAKE THE TOWN – Saturday, November 15 * 9am to 12:30pm
Faith In Action has requests for elderly people in our area needing help with their fall yardwork. And while we work on the yard we’ll get to connect with the homeowners to listen to them, encourage them, and pray for them!
If enough people show up we could be done much sooner, so grab a friend or two and take some time to brighten someone’s day!
BRING: gloves, a rake. If you have tarps, a trailer, or a blower, text Pastor Chris to see if it’s still needed (763.244.4957).
BEFC SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING – DECEMBER 8
A BEFC Special Business meeting will take place on Monday, December 8 from 6:30-8pm in the High School Media Center. At this meeting we will vote on the proposed deacon amendment and on the proposed 2026 budget.

MOMS (Making Our Mothering Significant)
The mission of MOMS (Making Our Mothering Significant) is to seek gospel-centered motherhood together in community. Our heart for this group is to encourage one another as moms and as daughters of Christ through teaching, small group discussions, and fellowship. Moms with children of all ages (birth through adult) are welcome to join!
The theme for MOMS this year is “Everyday Women: a look into the lives of Old Testament women + how they point us to Jesus.” We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month during the 2025-26 school year from 5-7pm at Becker Baptist Church (11951 Hancock St SE, Becker, MN 55308). Childcare is provided if needed.
