Gospel Choir Recruiting for Easter
Rehearsals - Monday's at 6:30
The Gospel Choir is hoping to recruit singers for the upcoming Easter services.

No experience or music reading skills necessary- just a servants heart and the love of worship! Singers should also be willing to commit to the five weekly Monday rehearsals leading up to Easter.

HOW DO I RESERVE A PATIO TABLE?
Mission Partners and BPC Ministries can use the patio as a venue to promote community and/or church events happening in their areas.  Due to the limited space in FH and on the patio, one table per Ministry Area can be reserved each Sunday and ministries must have their tables/material available for ALL Services. 

Ministries wanting to reserve a patio table should request such through their Ministry Administrative Assistant by Wednesdays at 12 noon.  This process will assist in consistency of web information as well as assists the custodians with set up each Sunday.
