Support grows for TLC
More than a dozen people attending a brainstorming session to develop a ministry of care for those going through crisis in our PBF family. An early emphasis of the program is likely to include hospital visits and delivering meals to those in need.
As the program begins to gel, we will share more information here in Life of PBF to share the resources available and welcome those in the congregation to alert us of needs.

 | | More than 100 kids and kids-at-heart took to the floor to enjoy a night of fun and fellowship with others from PBF. |
Familes and couples make friends
and have fun skating with PBF
 | | Jason Caldwell wore his best flamboyant fashion. |
PBF launched its Young Families Group March 11th with an 80s skate night at Skateland in Bremerton. Thirty-eight families attended, which meant nearly 150 people enjoyed rolling about and getting to know friends from PBF. Many of the families came from MOPS or were first-time visitors to a PBF event. All enjoyed exclusive use of the facility.
The skating rink managers were so excited by the attendance, they gave away a free one-month family pass to the rink. Many other prizes were donated by local businesses. Thanks to Connie Lander for requesting and gathering the generous prizes. They included: three pounds of Starbucks coffee beans, a $15 BluBerry Frozen Yogurt gift certificate, a $20 gift card to Dairy Queen, a four-pack of cupcakes and gift card for a free dozen cupcakes from Bella Bella Cupcakes, and a backpack and water bottle from Haselwood Family YMCA.
Watch for more Young Couples and Families events or follow the PBF Young Families Facebook page. The group is open to families with a child under 12 or young married couples who do not yet have children.

Food and fun at Taste of Basque
PBF transformed March 9th into a street in Basque country. Seventy people strolled through various cafes and coffeehouses learning more about Basque culture. While sipping sparkling cider and a coffee concoction, they also
 enjoyed pintxo's, or hors d'oeuvres, including champies, chatka, ketarri, udaberria, and ensalada rusa.
The event raised about $1,700 for Summer in the USA, a program that hosts students from Basque country to visit the United States for several weeks.
Ten Basque students are expected to attend the program this summer. Typically, it costs $1,000 to pay the expenses of one student for the program. The organization still needs $6,000 to meet its fund-raising goals.
