ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL MEETING
after worship Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023
| |
|
|
The purpose of the meeting is to elect two (2) members to the Elder Nominating Committee to select Elders for the Session of class of 2026. The Session will be sharing a brief update of our 2022 accomplishments and plans for 2023. The meeting is planned to be very brief.
If you will be unavailable to attend the meeting, you may submit any names for the Nominating Committee to Janice Hill, Clerk of Session, before the meeting by text (901-826-9747) or email (janicehill81@gmail.com) and your nomination will be added to the list of nominations.
Please begin thinking of members to nominate for this year's Elder Nominating Committee at the meeting. It would be helpful to ask your nominee prior to the meeting to determine if they are willing to serve.
| |
Stay after the meeting for SOUPER SUNDAY!
| |
|
SOUP! How do we love thee? Let us count the ways – chunky, clear, creamy, low-fat, with a dash of spice, or naturally sweet, served hot, sometimes cold. Oh, there are a million ways to enjoy soup!
And January is National Soup Month. Perfect isn’t it because nothing drives away those chilly winter blues like a hot bowl of your favorite soup. And it’s nutritious too! So BPC will continue our Soup Sunday tradition!
| |
|
Please bring soups, macaroni and cheese, chilis in a crock pot to the kitchen area to keep warm during worship. If making soup is not your thing bring butter, bread, biscuits, cornbread or crackers!
We need folks available between Circle of Faith worship service and BPC's service to set up tables. Of course, we will also need extra hands helping clean up afterward.
If you are willing to help set up or stay for clean up, please contact Lori Blackwelder (email lorieb1165@yahoo.com or phone or signed text 901.262.8282)

Obtained a cash-back credit card as a more economical and streamlined way of paying bills
-
Engineered a temporary revenue stream by renting parking spaces to Montgomery Martin for its workers

As I Lay Dying
by William Faulkner
As I Lay Dying is a 1930 Southern Gothic novel by Faulkner's fifth novel and is consistently ranked among the best novels of 20th-century literature. As are many of Faulkner's works, the story is set in Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, which Faulkner referred to as "my apocryphal county," a fictional rendition of the writer's home of Lafayette County in the same state. The book is narrated by 15 different characters over 59 chapters. It is the story of the death of Addie Bundren and her poor, rural family's quest and motivations—noble or selfish—to honor her wish to be buried in her hometown of Jefferson, Mississippi.
Led by Ted Pearson

Observance connects Christians, provides foundation to 'Do good, seek justice' in 2023
Fred Tangeman | Office of the General Assembly - January 17, 2023
| |
LOUISVILLE
Image from World Council of Churches, photo by Paul Jeffrey/Life on Earth.
Eight days are set aside for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25), but there are great reasons to reflect on the observance’s call of togetherness throughout the year.
That’s the message from Dr. Dianna Wright, Director of Ecumenical and Interreligious Relations in the Office of the General Assembly.
“It’s strategic that the week is in January, the start of each year,” Wright said. “The resources created for the week, including daily scripture recommendations, can be used at any time.”
Similarly, the observance transcends Presbyterian and Reformed communities. “We’re not in this work alone, but in it with our other religious siblings as well. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity brings all Christian communities together in being one in Christ,” Wright said.
You can access each scripture recommendation from the website of the World Council of Churches, which has included the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as a member since 1948. Other resources include an ecumenical opening prayer service, biblical reflections and other worship elements.
This year’s theme is “Do good, seek justice” from Isaiah 1:17. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the theme was selected by the Minnesota Council of Churches, USA “in the aftermath of the extrajudicial killing of George Floyd and the trial of the police officer responsible for his death.
“These events brought anguish, but also time for the Christian communities to contemplate ways in which they may be complicit in racial injustice. Christian unity is needed as a source of reconciliation and unity.”
Wright noted that justice is something all Abrahamic faiths are called to work on. “If we’re working on it only as Christians there is a gap between faiths and traditions.”
Although the call to justice is shared, different denominations and religions interpret it differently. Unity comes from accepting differences as well as commonalities.
Wright’s own practice is to reflect on scripture selected for the Prayer for Week of Christian Unity until Lent. She noted that the scripture recommendations could be used for Bible studies or to begin eight weeks of session meetings, for example.
Ecumenical and interreligious collaboration around the world is the work of Wright and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in every season. During last summer’s 225th General Assembly, a resolution denouncing antisemitism and Islamophobia was approved amid a rise in religious intolerance and violence. In February, Wright and Co-Moderator of the 225th General Assembly the Rev. Shavon Starling-Louis will represent the PC(USA) on an ecumenical peace journey to South Sudan.
Wright said that the Prayer for Christian Unity resources will provide a “good opportunity to reflect on values of loving your neighbor and being one in Christ” prior to the trip to South Sudan. Once there, she and Starling-Louis will join other Christian leaders including the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland as well as representatives from the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of South Sudan, the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan and the Anglican Community of South Sudan.
Wright and Starling-Louis will also be joined by PC(USA) mission co-workers Jeff Boyd and Sharon Kandel.

THE VA WANTS YOUR BOOKS!
GENTLY USED BOOKS WANTED!
| |
|
The VA has a need, a big one, that won’t cost you any money! We need books!! Books in good condition! BUT we need to be a bit picky….
No books that smell of cigarette smoke, no books that have been sitting in open boxes in someone’s garage or attic gathering dust and/or bugs. We need books of many genres, fiction & non-fiction: histories, mysteries, DIY, westerns, biographies, cookbooks, etc. We’ll take some romances, but most of the folks here aren’t big on the Harlequin variety!!
The VA ALSO NEEDS:
We are in desperate need of the following items:
- T-shirts, sizes M and 2XL
- Sleep pants/lounge pants, summer weight, sizes 2XL and 3X
- Deodorant, men’s
Of course, we always need all sizes of underwear, t-shirts, sleep pants, but we are either out of or down to just a few of the items listed above. And we get requests daily!
Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
Karen Pilkington will be collecting the books & clothes – bring them to church in bags or boxes and leave them next to the Food Cart and her DAR chapter will see that they get to the VA.
