I am honored to be selected as BCC’s new Moderator. It is an immense privilege to follow in the distinguished footsteps of Punk Snyder, who served as Moderator with excellence for 15 years. Even though I have only held this role for a few months, I now appreciate how effortlessly Punk managed his responsibilities during his tenure. Thank you, Punk, for your invaluable guidance and steadfast leadership of our Church over the years.


At our Council meeting on March 10th, we addressed numerous topics of importance. The Deacons reported a steady increase in attendance at our Sunday services. We also discussed reconfiguring the Fellowship Hall to better accommodate the growing number of attendees during coffee hour. It is indeed a blessing to experience such growth when many churches face the opposite trend.


Additionally, during the Council Meeting, we were presented with a demonstration of a proposed new church website featuring an integrated online giving portal. The proposed website was well received, and we anticipate its launch in the near future. Our sincere thanks to all those who worked diligently to develop the content and gather the images used for the website.


The increasing attendance during coffee hour and the introduction of the new website reflects the enthusiasm and vitality within our church. However, they also exemplify change. While some may find change unsettling, others embrace it. The challenge before the Council, our various Committees, and our Church family is to manage the rate of change in a manner that is comfortable for everyone. We seek God's guidance and assistance to find that balance as we move forward together.


Reminder: The April Council Meeting will be starting at 6:30 PM instead of the regular 7:00 PM time. Everyone is welcome to attend as we discuss and make decisions on church business. 

 

Faithfully,
Matthew Mullen
Moderator
