• Please write a letter or note to a veteran – because of privacy rules we will not be able to provide details such as names or genders, so please make sure you write a letter anyone would be blessed to receive
• Place your written letters in the yellow box outside the church or bring it with you to drive up communion next week so that we can deliver the letters to the VA staff.

 

• You may either make cards (like we do for the Giving Spirit) or buy a card.
• Please do not put cards into envelopes and rather fold them
• Please write “TO BE DELIVERED TO A VETERAN AT THE CAL VET HOME OF LA” on the front of the car

During this difficult season, we want to ensure that all of our BPC families are cared for and sustained. If you need assistance with running errands, picking up prescriptions, grocery delivery, or picking up takeout, please let us know! We have assembled a group of BPC volunteers who are willing and able to help out.

 

Email Pastor Lora at lora.east@bpcusa.org

and we will connect you to a volunteer to assist you.

Let us continue to support one another and be the church together.

BPC has been in a covenant partnership for over 20 years with a group of pastors (called APASUR) and their churches from Bluefields, Nicaragua. Over the past few months, Pastor Lora, Steve Ruth and Tom Elander have been participating in monthly Zoom calls with some of the APASUR pastors. Many have contracted COVID-19, including some of the pastors, their family members and their congregants. Many have been very ill and there have been some deaths.

 

The pastors of APASUR are addressing the most basic needs of the people in their community – growing crops to provide food and/or financial independence. The photo below is the APASUR pastors on one of the parcels of land that is being developed for food production. Please join us in praying for our Nicaragua siblings in Christ!
