Egg Stuffers Needed!!
Easter is just around the corner, and we’ve got some exciting activities lined up for youth of all ages, including an epic Easter egg hunt and an escape room for the older kids! Thanks to the generosity of so many, we have everything we need for the activities. However, we still have plenty of eggs that need to be filled, and we’d love your help! Please stop by the church anytime between 10 AM and 3 PM on Thursday, April 17th to help us stuff the eggs. You can sign up HERE to let us know if you’re able to assist.
Next Steps Class on April 6th
Are you new to BCC? Are you not-so-new, but have questions? If so, you are invited to attend our Next Steps class on April 6th. The class will meet right after the worship service during the discipleship class hour. You’ll learn about our history, what is important to us, what membership means at BCC, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask us questions.
Membership at BCC
The Leadership Team at BCC has been working over the past few months to update our bylaws and clarify what it means to be a part of Bismarck Community Church. On February 16th, a special meeting was held with the congregation to discuss the new bylaws and membership at BCC. If you were unable to attend, you can view the meeting minutes HERE. You can also click HERE to learn about the process the Leadership Team uses to determine membership. If you have any questions about membership or anything else related to BCC, please join us for our Next Steps class on April 6th, immediately following the worship service during the discipleship class hour. Additionally, feel free to reach out to any of our elders, deacons, or staff members who make up the Leadership Team with any questions you may have.
