Church of Firsts
Published July 2, 2015Hello all, What an exciting month of June for BPCC. so let me jump right into it. As a church we had our first communion as a church, as we tried to do it a little different. Instead of the “traditional” way of having communion we decided to have a table set up and people could come up and partake it at the table by dipping the “bread” into the “grape juice”, yes it was different but thought it went really well. Second we had our first Baptism (If you have Facebook, you would have seen the pictures). I have […]

Published June 2, 2015Hello All, Here is May’s update for Brooklyn Park Community Church (BPCC). When God created me I never knew that I would be where I am today. I can tell you for me it took a long time to get here. I tell you this to let you know the kind of person that God created. When God informed me that He wanted me to start a church, the one thing that He kept reminding me was patience, patience, patience. This word is hard for me and I am sure that it is hard for you, but God needs to […]

Published April 30, 2015Where do I start. As I am writing this I have a heavy heart. There has been so much going on in April and most of it has been great. April started out with us having Easter Service at our house with our Small group and I believe that it went well. The following Saturday we went out to our community and surrounding communities and passed out almost 1000 Event postcards. It was our group plus some help from our former church FBC Edgewater (Thank you all for helping out). We had some doors closed in our faces, many were […]

Published February 24, 2015The second part of this blog will be short but full of GREAT “stuff”. What’s happening with God’s Church? The month of February has had more ups then downs but as most of you know the downs really hurt. So let me talk about the downs briefly. The first “down” was one of the guys who was attending relapsed back into drugs, but the good news about that, is that he now is in a Christian clinic to help him but it is in a different state. Secondly another person who is attending, her boyfriend starting doing drugs again and […]

Published February 24, 2015February has seen some things moving forward for the Lord. I want to share with you a couple of them (In another blog following this one). First I want to share what God showed me in His Word a couple of weeks ago (from a devotion from Charles Swindoll) . During one Bible study, I told the group that Brooklyn Park Community church was in the Bible, they looked at me with their faces saying “this guy has lost it” but to that I would have said I never lost what I didn’t have, but that is another whole story […]

Published January 28, 2015Where do I start? January has had its ups and downs. First the downs, as a church most of us was sick with the nasty bug that was going around and so we have not met all together since before Christmas. With that being said as of January 20, we have started our new series (Life Lessons- I, II, II John and Jude). Also we have a lady that wants to receive the Lord, but every time that we needed to get together to “talk” about it, something has come up. Let’s talk about the “ups”. As I am writing […]
