Game Night
Friday, February 26, BCC is throwing another game night.  The fun will begin around 6:30pm and will go until 10:30pm in the church basement. Everyone is invited!  This is an evening to hang out and enjoy time spent together; a Share Life event.  You can bring a takeout dinner with you and OF COURSE you’ll need to bring your favorite board games and cards.
   
CIY’s “Believe” Conference for Middle Schoolers
“Believe” is a weekend event designed just for students in grades 6-8.  They will experience high-energy worship, entertainment, teachings, and fun!  BCC will be taking a group of students to the conference held at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana, April 16th-17th.  The cost for the event is $70 (Due March 3) plus the cost of 3 fast food meals.  All middle school students are encouraged to attend!!!

 

SuperStart!
Over the weekend of March 12 & 13, K-Zone will be taking 4th & 5th grade students to SuperStart!  at Christ’s Church at Mason.  SuperStart! is a two-day event (Friday & Saturday) put on by Christ In Youth (CIY) that is geared specifically for pre-teens.  It’s a fantastic weekend of age-appropriate worship, relevant teaching, drama and fun. Your kids and their friends can expect the weekend to be filled with Biblical teaching, worship, enthusiasm, small group opportunities and off-site recreation.
The cost for SuperStart! is $60 per student.  This covers all costs associated with the event (food, lodging, recreation, etc.)  You must have registration forms & waivers filled out and turned in with payment by Sunday, February 28.  Registration after February 28 increases the cost by $10.  The final deadline for registration is Sunday, March 7.  Forms are available on the Info Table in the church lobby.
K-Zone’s vision, “Love families and join with them in turning the hearts of children to Jesus” works itself out in our desire to create environments where spiritual connections happen within families.  With that in mind, at least one parent must attend the last main session with their kid(s) on Saturday afternoon from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.**  This gives you the chance to have a great conversation about spiritual things on the ride home together and beyond.
**Of special note:  If your child will be bringing a friend whose parent(s) does not regularly attend any church, this stipulation does not apply to their parent(s).
On Friday night bring your kids to the church at 4:30pm.  They’ll need to have a packed dinner (McDonald’s, Subway, etc.), a Bible, sleeping bag & pillow, change of clothes, and a tooth brush.  If you’d like to give them some extra spending money for souvenirs (SuperStart! gear) you can but it’s not necessary.  We’ll meet up on Saturday at 1:00pm at Christ’s Church at Mason for the final session.  After the final session ends at 3:00pm you can take your kids home with you.  If space allows we’ll bring all the sleeping bags, pillows, etc. with us so you can take it home.  Otherwise you can pick this up from the church on Sunday morning.

Weekend to Remember Conference
Presented by FamilyLife:  “Our speakers will show you exactly how to pursue a marriage that really works through stories of their own break-throughs and blunders. Every couple drives away with a roadmap to a great marriage. Over the weekend, you will discover:

    1. God’s purpose for bringing you together
    2. Your distinct roles as husband and wife
    3. How to resolve conflict and fight fair
    4. Secrets to putting sizzle in your sex life

We want you to leave the conference with encouragement, hope, and practical tools to build and grow your relationship. That’s why we call this conference a Weekend to Remember.”
If you are interested in attending this Know Him opportunity March 5-7 in downtown Cincinnati, please sign up at the Information Table in the church lobby. We will contact you with more details and to answer any questions you may have.

Message CDs
If you would like a CD recording of the Sunday message, they are available after services.  If the Sunday message you would like is not available, you may fill out a CD request form. The request will be available at the Information Table in the lobby the following Sunday. 

Reminder
Check the bulletin board outside the church office as well as the Sunday program and the Information Table in the lobby for updates on other events and opportunities.
