Welcome new members, Fred and Lisa!

Fred is from Weaverville, North Carolina, just outside of Asheville, and grew up in the Presbyterian church. In high school, he received Christ after listening to an evangelical radio broadcast. He attended Mars Hill University and recently retired from the field of finance. He now mountain bikes, but does not get paid for it!

Lisa was born in the Bronx, NY, and grew up in New Jersey. She was raised in the Roman Catholic church, and came to faith in Christ later in life, after moving to North Carolina. She received her MBA from UNC Greensboro and is a corporate events manager.

Fred and Lisa have enjoyed the warm welcome and friendliness they have experienced at BPC and look forward to serving Jesus with their church family.

Recently, the men of BPC gathered for their annual retreat at Bonclarken!

This year’s teaching, from Pastor James McManus of Bethel ARP in Winnsboro, SC, centered around Psalm 23. The sessions went through the Psalm verse by verse, dissecting its meaning and application.

The time was also spent singing hymns, enjoying excellent food and fellowship, and an evening campfire one night.

Thank you to everyone who came!
