This January, BPC is partnering with Safe Place for Youth to provide unhoused youth (ages 12-25) here in our community with much needed materials. We will be collecting New Men’s and Women’s Underwear and New Warm Blankets. You can bring donations to the church any time we are open in the month of January or you can order online to have your donations sent to the church (BPC SPY Drive 12000 San Vicente Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90049).

 

Thank you for your generosity this season in helping vulnerable youth in our community.

A group of BPC members, including Pastor Lora, will be heading to Managua, Nicaragua on February 27 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of CEPAD. From there they will be traveling to Bluefields on the east coast of Nicaragua to spend a few more days with our longtime covenant partners. This is the first trip to visit our partners since March of 2019. To sign up email Tom Elander at tomrelander@yahoo.com, more information forthcoming.
