Boston Resiliency Fund – The COVID-19 coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our daily lives, as much of Greater Boston has shut down. Some individuals have been impacted physically and financially. Therefore, our church has been collecting a special offering over the past two Sundays (April 5, 12) and today is the final Sunday collection for the Boston Resiliency Fund, created by the City of Boston. Priorities of this fund include providing access to food for various at-risk populations, technology to Boston Public School students for remote learning, and support to first responders and health care workers who are on the frontlines fighting this pandemic. Please write a check to our church designating “Charity Fund” and “COVID-19” in the memo line. For online donations through Elexio, please have the same designations in the comments section. To date, the amount collected is already at $16,881 – praise the Lord!
Mask Collection – We invite church members to donate personal protective equipment (listed below) for health care workers at Tufts Medical Center. Please email srministry@bcec.net so the Social Responsibility Committee can arrange to receive your donation. To date, the social responsibility team has collected and delivered more than 2000 masks and 1500 gloves. Many brothers and sisters have also shared that they made their own deliveries to hospitals as well. Praise God and thank you for your generous donation so far. Please continue to pray for medical workers as they do their life-saving work under stressful conditions.
N95, K95 and N99 masks, procedure masks, surgical masks
Eye protection (face shields, goggles, safety glasses)
Precaution gowns

Help with Making PPE – CareOne Assisted Living Facility (located in Brookline and Millbury) is looking for help with making PPE (personal protective equipment) gowns out of trash bags for their staff.

Thank you for your partnership. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that we may prayerfully adjust our giving. For some, we may choose to give less. For others, we may decide to give more. Whatever your gift, thank you for your partnership.
Text 30131 to give:
You can now make an offering to BCEC using your credit/debit card by texting 30131. You can text-to-give to one of four funds.
To give to the General Fund, text “BCEC {enter dollar amount}” or “BCECGF {enter dollar amount}“
To give to the Missions Fund, text “BCECMF {enter dollar amount}“
To give to the Charity Fund, text “BCECCF {enter dollar amount}“
To give to the Expansion Fund, text “BCECEF {enter dollar amount}“
For example, texting “BCEC 100” will give $100 to the General Fund from your credit/debit card.
Please ensure you can pay your donation balance before using this method. If this is the first time you are giving to BCEC using a credit card, thank you! You will be prompted for setup information. Note a credit card fee of 2.65% plus $0.45 per transaction will be deducted from your offering. (The fee for online giving through e-check costs less at $0.35 per transaction. Thus giving via e-check would make your gift go further for BCEC. You may also consider increasing your gift to cover the cost of the transaction fees.
