TRIVIA NIGHT AND SILENT AUCTION – APRIL 24
SOCK DRIVE FOR THE COMPASSION CONNECTION – APRIL 19-MAY 10
Compassion Connection supports children and families impacted by foster care, including foster, kinship, and adoptive caregivers. Did you know that socks are one of the most requested, and most needed, items that they give out? Let’s help stock up their boutique. They are in need of NEW baby socks, toddler socks and small child-size socks. Add socks to your shopping list and donate to a great cause. We will have a basket on the Welcome Table for the next few weeks. This is a great outreach to our community.

MEMBERSHIP CLASS – MAY 3
God intends for us to live out the Christian life as members of a covenant community with other believers. If you’re interested in learning more about what the Bible teaches about church membership in general and you want to explore what it means to be a covenant member at BEFC specifically, there will be a membership class at the church office (11373 150th Ave SE, Becker) on Sunday, May 3, 12pm (after the morning service). A light lunch will be provided, so please let us know you’re coming!

SAVE THE DATE – VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL – JULY 13-16
With Illumination Station, VBS will be the brightest week of the year! While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. During VBS kids will explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, and how Jesus, the Light of the World, does the same!
Join us as BEFC and BBC team up to present VBS. Mark your calendars for Monday-Thursday, July 13-16 from 9am-Noon at the Becker Baptist Church. (Registration opens Sunday, May 3rd)
