EVENTS

Thank You From Regina Donham & Cathy Boleyn:


My Mother and I would like to thank all of you that sent a card and/or wished her a Happy Birthday on Facebook. She was delighted to receive so many cards and well wishes as she celebrated her 90th Birthday on August 12.  Mother was excited to go to the mailbox each day and see what new cards arrived and there were many from NJ!  



BBPC is a wonderful family and thank you for showing that love to my Mother.


EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The After Hours Women's Bible Study: Coming in September!

Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ.”

by Rhashell D. Hunter


“How do we find our resilience and joy in the midst of stressful life circumstances?By reconnecting to our spirituality, following women in the Bible, and studyingJesus’ witness, we can discover a path that helps us fully embrace and celebrate who we are as faithful disciples.”


All women at BBPC are invited to join. We are an informal group that has been exploring our faith through Bible Study for over 30 years and enjoy welcoming new participants. The program year will start on Monday, September 22, at 7:30 PM. when we will explore Finding our Resilience through “Mary Magdalene, the Tower”, chapter 1. You may purchase this Bible Study from presbyterianwomen.org/shop or call 800-533-4371, if you haven't already received it as part of your Horizons PW magazine subscription.
