In place of our regular on-campus worship services, on Sunday mornings simply click on this  LINK  and it will lead you to a time of worship and teaching. You will find the current message from one of our pastors, a link to a time of worship through song, and other resources for you and your family. We are currently well on our way through our 40-day Biblical Hospitality series, and we encourage you to also be working through the daily devotions and watching the discussion videos that are available through our website  HERE . And if possible, connect with some others online to discuss what you're learning!

Children's Director Alba Kellejian will be making weekly videos and lessons for remote Sunday School for our Kindergarten through grade 5 kids, as well as family devotions and more. You can find them  HERE!

In this strange time of minimal social interaction, how can you stay connected to one another? This past Sunday, some BCC Life Groups  met by Zoom, an online video conferencing tool. Whether you use Zoom, Apple FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or make a 3-way conference call on your landline, there are lots of ways to keep in touch with one another and continue our great discussions that are usually held at church on Sunday mornings. For links to these tools, check out connectbcc.org/stayconnected.

If you need help with any of these tools, please email jason.garvey@connectbcc.org.

This past Sunday our AIM and Common Need Life Groups each met online by way of Zoom. And thanks to today's video technology, their meetings were a great success. Found below is their praise report. We thank God that Zoom is already giving us a way to keep our groups connected. If you'd like to be in one of our Zoom Life Groups, or would like help setting up a Zoom connections group of any kind, email jason.garvey@connectbcc.org.

AIM Life Group  (Adventures in Marriage)
"Daniel Kang set up our Zoom meeting ad-hoc, on Saturday night. At 9am on Sunday morning 9 families showed up. Most of us had our kids around, and while we were sharing about our lives and prayer requests, the kids were curiously peeking into the screens and trying their best to behave. The main topic of sharing and prayer was about the coronavirus situation and how we may possibly help others in this situation, and also how to better stay in touch as a group and a church. It was such a blessing to see each other and to pray together during that call."

Common Need Life Group
"We enjoyed our online meeting for our Life Group. We had around 18-20 people join in online. It's not the same as physically being together, but it's the next best thing. We watched the Biblical Hospitality video together (inside Zoom). It was a bit choppy, but the audio was fine (we could watch separately, but felt watching it together helped us feel like a group). Then we went through the questions and had a great discussion time. We agreed that this strange time for all of us is a new opportunity to be creative and reach out to our community. We even had a short ten-minute prayer time together. It was interesting to see each other online, and we got to see the interior of people's homes (in the background) and some of the pets that we had heard about! Some of the regulars didn't make it but to our surprise some non-regulars showed up. We suspect more will make it next time with this success."

With the shelter-in-place order for Santa Clara County, our worship services will not be taped on Saturday evening. The one evening we were able to do this last Saturday was special. Now we will be coming up with other creative ways to put together the times of worship that we will make available to all of you online. Thank you for your prayers and support.
