BCA Shuttle Ministry

We need your help to keep our parking lot open for guests!  Our goal is to have 100 families commit to helping us in this endeavor by parking in the PUD parking lot, located on the corner of California Street and Virginia Avenue.  Shuttles will be running between the PUD lot and the church for continuous pick-up and drop-off from 7:15 - 9:15 AM, 10:00 - 10:45 AM, and 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM.  Drivers may find it easier to drop off their families at the front doors before going over to the PUD parking lot.  If you need to stay later after church, you can ride the shuttle back to the PUD lot directly after church, and bring your car back.  As an extra incentive, each driver using the shuttle will receive a coupon for a free drink of their choice (16 oz. size) from the Cedar Street Espresso Stand, located in the foyer outside the Activity Center.

At TrueLife, we exist to bring truth to this generation.  We want to create an environment where relationships are built.

Students coming to the Attic find a positive atmosphere with other students, and find a place where they can come, meet new friends, get some great food, and experience God through the truth of His Word.  We want the Attic to be a place where students can be authentic, and experience Christ-like love.

Teacher: Dean Kinzel
Day: Sunday
Time: 10:30 AM

Location:  Room 205

Phone:  425.339.3303

Email: kinzeld@comcast.net

Description:  A class for all ages of adults. The Old Testament ends with twelve short books that, because of their length are called the Minor Prophets. These twelve prophets lived from about 840 B.C. to 420 B.C., and they were the main moral and spiritual leaders of their time. They spoke to the needs of the people, informing them about God, obedience, faith, love, patience, sin, and judgment. At the same time, these prophets predicted future events which were messages direct from God to the people. We will be discussing each of these in this class. We use the Inductive Bible Study approach because inductive reasoning is consistent with the way in which we normally solve problems and study new ideas. Application is the goal of our study in these books of the Bible as this is where principles are found that affect our behavior as a Christian by the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Participation and note taking are encouraged. Questions and open discussion are welcome. Bible reading is encouraged. Food and fellowship precedes class. There is open concern for classmates, prayer for needs, and praise for answers. This is a class that helps support one another like family.

Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia more than a half century ago, many considered it a mere children’s story and missed the rich spiritual meaning of the Christian faith that Lewis was clearly communicating. Join LEE for a 6-week series that will explore spiritual truths in the Land of Narnia found in the second book (and movie), Prince Caspian. Prince Caspian deals with a world that has forgotten Aslan—just as we often forget our first love—Jesus Christ. Suzanne will use teaching, group discussion and the movie, Prince Caspian, to explore spiritual conflicts in the Land of Narnia and similarities in our walk of faith. If you missed the fall series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, you won’t want to miss Prince Caspian.

Dates: Wednesdays
Time: 7-8:30 PM

Location:  Room 205

Phone:  360.659.1986

Email:  rhondalee8@comcast.net

Description:  Overload is not having time to finish the book you're reading on stress. Margin is having time to read it twice. Overload is fatigue. Margin is energy. Overload is red ink. Margin is black ink. Overload is hurry. Margin is calm. Overload is anxiety. Margin is security. Overload is the disease of our time. Margin is the cure. Margin is the space that once existed between ourselves and our limits. It's something held in reserve for contingencies or unanticipated situations. In Margin, Dr. Richard Swenson provides prescription against the danger of overloaded lives. Focusing on margin in four key areas--emotional energy, physical energy, time, and finances--he offers an overall picture of health that employs contentment, simplicity, balance, and rest. If you yearn for relief from the pain and pressure of overload, take a lifelong dose of Margin. The benefits of good health, financial stability, fulfilling relationships, and availability for God's purposes will follow you all your days.
