The Giving Spirit (TGS) Winter Outreach will be in BPC Fellowship Hall again this year from December 2 – 17. they will be assembling Survival Kits for our LA neighbors including children, women and men. Each kit will contain over 60 items to meet their immediate needs. BPC volunteers are invited to sign up to volunteer at www.TheGivingSpirit.org. You may also sign up for other dates at their website.

 

There are also TGS opportunities to create personalized friendship cards for each of the bags which will be collected at a new delivery box in front of BPC. Go to https://www.thegivingspirit.org/friendshipcards for instructions.

 

 

Blood donation is quite literally the gift of life — there is no synthetic substitute — and it doesn’t cost the donor a cent! On Sunday, January 8, 2023, starting at 9:00 AM in Fellowship Hall the BPC Deacons will host the American Red Cross for a BPC Blood Drive. To schedule an appointment contact Deacon Monica Willoner.
