Good Friday turned out to be a visually as well as spiritually stunning experience for some. One person commented:

“I was very moved when I went outside to experience the crucifixion portion of the Good Friday experience. It was a visual experience beyond what folks at BCCC planned. Only God could put this one together.

The way the shadow of the cross played against the building – and the tree…

The dusk atmosphere and approaching darkness…

The real wind taking over the wind in the recording…

The chill of dark coming on as the metal hammer sounded…

The roof of BCCC looking like a brown of the landscape in the dusk…

And BEST of all, the North star, appearing as the brightest star in the sky, right above the cross!

How timely is that? -The bright star, marking where Jesus began His time on earth, and the cross, where He died for us.

I will never forget that stunning visual.”

Someone else made us aware that the Easter Fun Fair was a blessing for her and her family.

“Thank everyone associated with the children’s play production – Joseph, from the Pit to the Palace.  It is a gift to me to see (my daughter) begin to internalize that God really is in control of her future. She told me at lunch that God has three answers to all questions: yes, no, and wait…how true.”

“It was a gift to see her in this play via DVD. I missed seeing her live because I was presenting in California that weekend.  I am so blessed that she is getting these messages and is increasingly committed to living them out.  Thanks for all you do! ”

Easter Sunday brought even more good news.

“Absolutely love the way that Pastor Craig embraces the opportunity to communicate the Gospel in such a powerful way when there are most likely hundreds of souls attending the Easter services. That said the opening presentation Bad. News. Good. News. was an incredible format to encourage (and convict) those that may otherwise never be in attendance again. Is there a link available to that presentation? I’m certain that I can make use of it as tool to share with many others…”

We are thankful for the ultimate Good News that “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. “ Thanks to all who contributed to our good news.

Our next event will be Hawaiian night Saturday, June 2 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.!  We will be meeting at the pavilion in the grass across the parking lot from the front of the church (rain location the Exit31 Community Center Blue Barn).  Wear your loudest Hawaiian-style attire and come prepared for food, fun and discussion of scripture.  Hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, buns and condiments will be provided.  We suggest that women bring a salad or dessert and men drinks and chips to share.  Bring lawn chairs, Frisbees, and any outdoor lawn games you would like. Aloha!
