Work Party at Church This Saturday!
This Saturday, November 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. there will be a work party to remove the sanctuary carpet, and we are looking for volunteers to help! If you are willing and able to help this Saturday, please RSVP to Cliff Best: cmtnbest@gmail.com and Ray Bliven: bpbc@bliven.me. Details for the day are below:
Project Overview:
1. Overview: The project involves removing and disposing of all the carpet in the sanctuary.
2. Removal: All carpet must be removed, including the stage and stair carpet.
3. Disposal: All carpet should be placed in the dumpster onsite.
PLEASE BRING IF YOU HAVE THEM:
1. A flat shovel to pry up the carpet.
2. A box knife to cut up the carpet into manageable sections to carry to the dumpster.
Additional Details:
1. bpChurch will save $5,000 by doing the labor ourselves.
2. This must be removed if the sanctuary is to be included in the churchwide tour the following day.

Cliff Best will be the Jobsite Supervisor, overseeing all jobsite direction, supervision and safety, as well as quality control.
Cliff will reach out to everyone who RSVPs to him with jobsite requirements and any additional information.
Annual Church Business Meeting and Building Tour
There is an annual church business meeting this Sunday, November 17 after the worship service. There will be a lunch at 12:30 p.m. After lunch, we will have an opportunity to walk through the new building and see the progress made so far. Rain is forecast for Sunday, so bring umbrellas. Also, no open-toed shoes should be worn, nor should the shoes be smooth on their bottoms since the concrete will likely be slippery when wet.
The business meeting is at 2:00 p.m. Members will vote on the following ministry candidates: Bryan Warren, Elder; Patty Sundem, Deaconess; and John Palm and Deborah Gray for Nominating Team. Members will also vote on the 2025 bpChurch budget, which can be reviewed here.
