Moderator Moment

Exciting news—our church has launched a brand new website! Thanks to the dedication of a 
talented volunteer team, we now have a completely redesigned online presence. The new site 
features beautiful photos of our church, an up-to-date events calendar, video recordings of Sunday 
sermons, downloadable and editable forms, and convenient online donation options. We encourage 
everyone to visit https://www.bcc1857.org/ and explore all it has to offer! 

Help shape our church's future by reviewing our proposed mission statement. Pastor Oxman 
assembled a committee to update our current mission statement, and their draft is now displayed on 
the whiteboard along the Central Street side of Fellowship Hall. We've provided space for your 
thoughts and comments right on the board. Please take a moment during coffee hour to read the 
proposal and share your feedback—your input is valuable to this important process. 

As we welcome summer's arrival, we want to address an important matter. While we all look 
forward to warm weather and vacation time, summer traditionally brings challenges to church finances 
as pledge payments and donations tend to decline. However, our church's expenses continue year
round. The Church Council asks all members to make a special effort to stay current with their pledges 
during the summer months, ensuring we can maintain our ministries and operations throughout the 
season.
