Parkridge Anniversary

We recently received this note from Holly Duncan, CEO of Parkridge Medical Pregnancy Center. '

     Thank you so much for being such an important part of the history of Parkridge, and such an integral part of our present opportunities for ministry. Even after 22 years, we continue to see the Lord work in mighty ways. Your long-term partnership allows us to have a significant impact in the lives of those we serve.
     With Much Gratitude,
     Holly


Bacon Heights has a history of starting, and supporting, significant ministries. This is one of our best ministry efforts ever.

We also extend congratulations and best wishes on Parkridge's 22nd anniversary, and look forward to many, many more years of Christ-center ministry to people in need.

Deacons to the Rescue!

Deacons to the rescue!

That can be your statement starting now. Our deacons have created Care Teams to better serve our church and community. One of these teams is the Repair/Respond Team. It is my privilege to serve as the staff liaison to this group. Among the responsibilities assigned to them is to assist those impaired or in crisis by providing maintenance and clean up.

We are approaching time change Sunday (November 1) very soon. Along with moving clocks back one hour we are also encouraged to change the batteries in our smoke detectors.

Our deacons realize that some of our folks shouldn’t be on ladders or chairs trying to reach the smoke detector to change the battery. They would love to help.

If you would like a deacon team to come to your house to help with some basic maintenance tasks, like:
·                   Changing the batteries in smoke detectors
·                  Changing clocks back to Central Standard Time
·                  Changing light bulbs
·                 Changing the air filters in furnaces
·                 Checking outside faucets to prevent freezing
then please call the church office (795-5261) and let us know you could use a little help. We’ll schedule a time for some guys to come to your house and take care of these maintenance items. They’d love to assist you but need to be asked.


Perhaps you know of someone needing assistance that won’t see this in our e-newsletter. Please let them know of our desire to help and give us a call. Our deacons are servants and love to serve others. Please let them have the opportunity to assist those who could use a little help.
