A Note from Pastor Laura  

It's Easter - the high point of the Christian year! The day darkness was forever broken! You can help us celebrate        Easter Sunday by:
  • Joining us in worship (see below)
  • Bringing fresh flowers (wildflowers, from your garden, from the store...) for our blooming cross on Easter Sunday.
  • Giving up your seat to a visitor if it's crowded 
  • Inviting a friend to worship with you

I can't wait to see you. Happy Easter! 

Good Friday Service Tomorrow 

April 22nd, 7:00pm, BCUMC Amphitheater

 

Please join us this Friday Jesus on Crossat 7:00 pm for our Good Friday worship service.  Weather permitting, we will be outside in the amphitheater. Through scripture, song, and candles, we will reflect on all that happened the day Jesus died.  It will be a meaningful worship experience appropriate for all ages.

Easter Sunday Services  

Sunday, April 24th 

 

8:00am - BCUMC Amphitheater

9:30am & 11:00am - BCUMC Worship Center 

 

Please join us as we celebrate the resurrection this Sunday!  It's going to be a joyous day and we are expecting lots of visitors. If your schedule permits, please consider attending our 8:00am service in the amphitheater. We'll enjoy the sun rising over the lake as we sing, pray, and celebrate God's work in our lives. Children are invited to attend this worship service with their families.    

 

Worship services at 9:30am and 11:00am will take place in the worship center and incorporate the same mix of music and celebration. Children who attend these services have special hands-on activities waiting for them following the children's message.  

 

Please bring flowers from your garden for our blooming cross. We'll add live flowers to the cross at each service as a visible symbol of the transformation that Easter brings.

We believe: Worship doesn't have to be boring.

New Sermon Series starting in May: Shadow of a Doubt  

 

Have you ever doubted the existence of God? What do you say when your child asks which is right - evolution or the Bible? What really happens when we die? Have you ever wondered if God could truly forgive you?   

 

Some Christians say that doubts are evidence of a lack of faith. That doubting separates us from God. But couldn't doubt be the earnest search for answers, the desire for a faith that can stand up to scrutiny? If you have doubts, if you're thirsty for deeper faith, join us for this sermon series beginning May 1st.
