Weekly eBlast - September 18, 2022

A Note From Pastor John:

Good morning!

During the height of Covid lockdowns and restrictions, we went through some staff transitions at the James River Campus. Since this time, we’ve been blessed by the addition of Chris and Tom Patch as our new Worship Leaders. 

As individuals and families have been returning to in person worship, we’ve seen an uptick in children over the past three months. First off, a huge thanks to Steph Ritter and her amazing team who’ve been there every step of the way. I’m thrilled to share we are actively looking to bring on a part time Children’s Ministry Coordinator.

If you, or someone you know, have an interest in exploring this children's ministry opportunity, please reach out and let us know. You can reach out to me personally or send an email to jrc@bonairbaptist.org. 

In the meanwhile, I look forward to worshipping with you this coming Sunday at 10am. Have a great finish to your week!

Blessings, 

Pastor John

Food For The Hungry

October 9

Beginning in October...

The world is hungry, but the emptiness goes far beyond the table. The need is physical and spiritual. People hunger for opportunity, starve for resources, and have been stripped of value. These injustices keep us up at night.

AND YET HOPE REMAINS

On October 9, we will begin our journey with Food for the Hungry to provide HOPE for the Palo Grande community in Nicaragua. Begin praying for children and families in this community.
