BTPC WELCOMES BACK
THE ASANTE CHILDREN'S CHOIR 

 

Asante Children's Choir Concert

March 22, 6:00 p.m.

 

The Asante Children's Choir is made up of vibrant young boys and girls, ages 7-15 years old, from East Africa. The children were selected for the choir based on their musical talent and desperate need. Their personal stories are brilliantly told through cultural music, costumes and dancing in a beautiful way of worshiping and praising God. The children's radiant faces exclaim "Asante" or "Thank You" on behalf of all the children back home who are being helped with free education and medical care through our support.

BTPC PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
Pres Women
This year the Presbyterian Circle groups are using "She Did What She Could" by Elisa Morgan as our study guide.  This is a wonderful discussion book directed around the lives of women in the Bible as well as opportunities to serve in our everyday life.  

 

The groups meet on the third Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. or the third Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. each month. Both groups meet in Bentwood House and all women are invited to join one of these bible studies.

 

CREATIVE ARTS CORNER

Have you made a New Year's Resolution to try a new hobby; knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, maybe painting? Each Friday from 10:00 a.m. - noon, a group of hobbyists meet in Prichard Hall for a quiet, creative morning. A participant recently thanked Senior Ministry for providing her "with such a creative, relaxing and fun fellowship Friday". Come join us for a time away from phones, doorbells and computers. If you are interested, please contact Pat Covert.
