Volunteers Needed - The Middle School and High School groups are in need of some college students and adults to work with them in the youth ministry. Do you have a heart for teenagers? There are a variety of needs and ways in which you can serve. Some are up front and some behind the scenes. Presently, we will need some folks to help with the Middle School Sunday School Class and the High School Sunday School Class. We are also in need of volunteers to help with youth group meetings on Wednesday nights with the Middle School and Sunday nights with the High School. Please prayerfully consider your involvement in this crucial and fun ministry! Call Eric to get more information at the office (277-3333) or at home (256-1424) or via email at eric@bg.org.

Visiting the Elderly  For the senior confined at home or in an assisted living environment, life can be tedious and lonely.  A new person to talk to or someone to play a game of chess with can be a wonderful blessing.
