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 will collect a special offering over the next three Sundays (April 5, 12 and 19) 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.

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! Several weeks have passed since our last update. And as states and cities make plans to
reopen, it’s time for another BCEC update. This update includes five items.

1. Following faithfully the Lord into our “new normal”
2. On the one hand, we are eager to gather in person.
3. On the other hand, we do not want to overly rush.
4. Our plan is to monitor the situation as society reopens and restrictions are eased.
5. We invite you to share your input to the church leadership, and we hope to release a tool to help survey our church community.

Please take this survey by May 28th

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.

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 will collect a special offering over the next three Sundays (April 5, 12 and 19) 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.

Every two seconds someone in America needs blood – from trauma victims to cancer patients, mothers giving birth to premature babies, and so many more. That is why we are excited to partner with the American Red Cross to hold a blood drive on Thursday, May 28th from 10 am to 3 pm at the Newton Campus (218 Walnut St. Newton, MA).

For detailed donor eligibility questions, please have your donors call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus! Several weeks have passed since our last update. And as states and cities make plans to
reopen, it’s time for another BCEC update. This update includes five items.

1. Following faithfully the Lord into our “new normal”
2. On the one hand, we are eager to gather in person.
3. On the other hand, we do not want to overly rush.
4. Our plan is to monitor the situation as society reopens and restrictions are eased.
5. We invite you to share your input to the church leadership, and we hope to release a tool to help survey our church community.
