Serving at BFMC

There are so many ways to get
involved with serving, here are just a few!

We need a thousand things every day.

We have big and small needs.  Sometimes, people around us see our needs before we do.  The real treasure is when we act on what we see.  We shoot a text message to the co-worker who had a tough day, or move the elderly neighbor’s trash can.

A good measure of our spiritual health is our depth of concern for other people. As we allow the Gospel to change our hearts, we develop a deep care for other people.

The church is us- people who love Jesus and serve others by parking cars, holding babies, praying for others, or pouring coffee. God changes us, and in this, He weaves a beautiful relationship between both working in us and through us.
