Greetings!

After 16 years, BsideU has a new Executive Director! Nici Spoelker, our former Pregnancy Center Director, was named our new leader effective May 16th upon the retirement of Monica Henderson. We are very excited about what lies ahead for the ministry and know that there is much work to be done. Monica will be missed, but we are thankful that the Lord has provided Nici to be our new leader, and we look forward to what the Lord has in store in this next chapter at BsideU.

• Nici first came to BsideU as a client over 10 years ago. Read Nici's testimony here and learn how she first got connected to BsideU.
• Working with clients is at the heart of all we do. Read a few client highlights here from our pregnancy center and life skills ministry.
• The Team Life Bike Ride is coming up on Saturday, August 9th at Southeast Christian Church. You will not want to miss this fun event for all ages! Routes are 14, 26 and 54 miles, and we will have our kids area again for riders 12 and under. Click here for details and to register.
