Immediately following the service, on Nov. 22, we will offer lunch to anyone wishing to stay and help with the Hanging of the Greens and the Properties Work Day. All are welcome, young and old alike, for there are projects to suit everyone.

We look forward to seeing you there!

KIDS HOPE USA
Building caring relationships...
One CHILD. One HOUR.
One CHURCH. One SCHOOL.
  
The BTPC Session is excited to implement this new outreach opportunity that focuses on volunteers from the congregation mentoring local school children in need during the school day. 
 
We are looking for members from BTPC that are willing to volunteer one hour a week to mentor one student throughout the school year.
 
For more information about this exciting program, contact Steve Jebbia, click below links, and see bulletin board in narthex. Together we, Bentwood Trail, can make a difference in the lives of children!
  
  
ONLINE GIVING
 
Online Giving is designed for those who wish to give an offering to BTPC without the hassle of writing a check each time you give.  It also works for those who want to give but are either out of town or cannot attend worship.  It is available for pledged or non-pledged giving.
