On the 2nd Sunday of every month, BLC serves meals to approximately 70 elderly and needy individuals and families in our Fairport community. Other local churches provide meals on the remaining Sundays. It takes a dedicated team of many volunteers each month to prepare, package, deliver meals, and clean up. Opportunities to serve include: Meal prep, packaging, delivery and clean-up. Contact the church office to be connected with the coordinators to volunteer in this ministry!

Event Details
During the worship service, while we hear Scripture and sermon in worship, kids ages 3 through 2nd grade are invited to a special time of hearing the Word just for them! They will gather in the room next to Pastor Hoffman’s office where they will hear a Bible story (usually from the Spark Story Bible), maybe watch a short video introducing the theme or message or sometimes do an activity, talk about the story and pray together. Then they’ll return to the sanctuary before we begin communion. We hope this allows the youngest saints to both participate fully in worship (the gathering time and the meal) while also hearing God’s Word in a developmentally-appropriate way.

During the worship service, while we hear Scripture and sermon in worship, kids ages 3 through 2nd grade are invited to a special time of hearing the Word just for them! They will gather in the room next to Pastor Hoffman’s office where they will hear a Bible story (usually from the Spark Story Bible), maybe watch a short video introducing the theme or message or sometimes do an activity, talk about the story and pray together. Then they’ll return to the sanctuary before we begin communion. We hope this allows the youngest saints to both participate fully in worship (the gathering time and the meal) while also hearing God’s Word in a developmentally-appropriate way.
