ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
report
Join us
Sun., Mar. 6 for Lunch and the Annual Meeting immediately following worship in Prichard Hall.
 The meeting format will include round table discussions concerning current matters of the church as well as visioning new ministries. 
We look forward to your engaged participation and feed-back as we plan for our future together.

STEWARDSHIP COMMUNION SUNDAY
Next Sun., Mar. 6 Stewardship Communion Offering, sponsored by Senior Ministries, will be monetary donations to help Spuds, Salads and Smiles avoid a potato famine and also to meet the possible needs of BTPC seniors.
NAMETAGS
We are updating nametags on the board in the narthex. All members and regular visitors should have nametags that are current. In addition, deacons, elders, trustees, and staff should be designated as such. We encourage you to wear your nametag, as this helps everyone to remember each others' names. If your name tag is missing or incorrect, please notify Brenda Snitzer. Also, please remember to greet visitors, offer them a temporary nametag, help them to sign the Attendance Pad in the pews, and explain the order of worship in the bulletin as needed. Let us receive one another with the gracious hospitality of Christ. 
LOCK-UP
Needed: people willing to lock-up the church facilities after worship, on a rotating bases. This takes about 10 min and training will be given.
Please see Bill Terry for more information.
