Does the sanctuary seem crowded on Sunday Morning?
Report of the Qualitative Review Team by Lynelle Phillips, Chair of the Qualitative Review Team
Join us in shaping the future of our church's worship experience. Under Pastor David's leadership, we're exploring new ways of worship and need your input. We invite you to participate in World Café discussions and share your thoughts and ideas. Your voice matters, and we believe that together, we can create a worship experience that is both meaningful and relevant to our community.
We will share a proposal for moving forward at the next BCC Board meeting on February 27th at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to attend.

After that, we will move to the Fellowship Hall for a shared meal, followed by a Broadway member's testimony on how they experienced resilience through adversity. Kids can also participate in the event by joining the cinema room at 5:30 pm. They will be learning about rest and resilience through movement.
