Marathon of Service

On Sunday, March 21, we are thrilled that the LA Marathon route will pass directly in front of BPC during normal worship times.  This has given us the unique opportunity to do something different with our congregants and for our community.  During the weekend of March 20-21, we will be sponsoring in a variety of community service projects  outlined below. We hope you will join us on one (or more!) projects, then join us for our Sunday evening worship service at 6:00 pm on the 21st.
