This is the 4th year we have the opportunity to provide fresh fruits and vegetables (free) to our neighbors at the Pines in partnership with Moll Farms.  You are welcome to come once or as many times as you’d like!  It’s a simple, rewarding opportunity to build relationship with our neighbors and fellow members of BLC.  We meet at BLC at 4:45pm to pack the vegetables in the BOE parking lot and head to the Pines mini food cupboard at 5:30, and are usually done by 6:30pm.

“And when you reap the harvest…leave the gleanings for those in need”.  Leviticus 19:9-10

Every fall since 2015 a sizable group of volunteers (“gleaners”) have been going to Bejo Seed Farm, outside of Geneva on Saturday mornings, to collect fresh produce that gets distributed to outlets throughout Monroe County where it is made available to people who otherwise might not have access to free, fresh produce.  BLC joined this ministry in 2023 and distributed 50+ boxes of produce to House of Mercy, Family Promise, Evergreen East and Second Sunday Dinner Ministry.

Gleaning for 2024 has begun and will continue through mid-November. Volunteers from many churches go out every Saturday morning from 9am until around noon weather permitting. Volunteers of any age, who are willing to spend 2-3 hours on a Saturday morning digging vegetables out of the ground or picking them off vines, are welcome to join!  Please reach out to Julie Owen at jowen@heritagechristianservices.org  if you would like to volunteer for one or more Saturdays or just to learn more about the ministry.  It’s a great solo or family activity and a way to meet other volunteers, get a little physical activity and build connection and relationship!

JOY (Jesus, Others, You) is a new group starting at Bethlehem for kids in 3rd – 5th grade. This group will meet monthly in their own room downstairs with their own fellowship snacks. On the Sundays when JOY will meet, 3rd – 5th graders will be invited to communion first, then will leave worship and meet until 10:15am. During this time kids will share a snack, work on a service project together and use the practices of the Faith 5 (Share, Read, Talk, Pray, Bless) to discover the connections between Jesus, others and themselves. For questions about JOY, please contact Patty Chaffee at faithformation@blcfairport.org

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.

Women’s Fellowship will be reading A Faith of Many Rooms by Debie Thomas. When your faith begins to feel too small, too confining, you could choose to leave it. But what if the faith we inhabit is roomier than we’d thought? What if our collapsing faith is just a closet in a much larger dwelling? The kind of God who decided to experience the world as a guest likely feels constrained by our pinched theologies too. What sorts of ruptures and revisions would it take to find a more spacious faith–and then to inhabit it with authenticity and joy? Join Women’s Fellowship this fall as Pastor Amy facilitates our monthly discussions.
