Spares and Pairs will meet Monday, July 7th at 6:30 PM in the BPC Fellowship Hall.  Everyone is asked to bring a snack and drink.  See you there! 

 Our children need your help.  Workshop of Wonders is July 28th through 31st and we need your support.  Last year, we had over 40 children attend VBS and we hope to beat that this year.  To make this a success, we need volunteers to attend VBS and help out each night.  The schedule each evening will be --- supper beginning at 5:30, followed by the program starting at 6:15 and ending at 8:00 PM.  We also need donations of supplies, or monetary donations if you cannot make it to the store.  We will also need several freezers of homemade ice cream for the last night of VBS to accompany our fire truck visit.  The list of supplies and volunteers needed is listed below.  If you have questions, please call Brandi Coley at 704-773-0754.

Dear Bethpage Presbyterian Church,

I want to express my appreciation for your generous gift of $127.60 received on June 25, 2014 from your Pentecost Offering.  I am grateful that you share our concern for the children and families in our care.  The lives of the children are shaped in part by the values we hold dear as part of our past, present and future.  The values of religious nurture, academic preparation, a strong work ethic and physical education are taught daily by a dedicated and caring staff.  Your faithful support and prayers are responsible for the many successes that take place in their lives.  One life at a time, we are making a difference.

Peace, John Koppelmeyer, President/CEO,
