Since 1996 APC has planted 10 churches with BPC being the 7th plant in 2007 beginning as a small group of only 6 people. It was through God’s provision, Pastor Jeff’s leadership & coaching plus the faithful support of APC’s congregation that BPC grew holding its Grand Opening Service on Palm Sunday 2008. Since that time we’ve become Incorporated, acquired our own building which we purchased for the amazing sum of $1.00 (ONE Dollar) and have taken on membership. So needless to say yesterday was a very BIG deal at BPC!
During the prayer time I announced that our Kids Guy, Steve Michalowski, received his License to Preach ministry credential then Jeff lead us in a prayer of blessing over Steve as our Missionary, Pat Summers, and BPC Board of Stewardship all gathered around him.Jeff then delivered a powerful message entitled; “Stepping Into the Favor of the Lord”. I hesitate to give you the details cuz I’d like for you to listen to the podcast. You will be blessed cuz Jeff is THE BEST preacher in Western PA! (just click on the title of this blog post & you’ll be directed to our podcast web page)
Following the message Jeff asked me, Jim, Chester & Charlie, AKA BPC’s Board of Stewardship, to stand facing the congregation so that he could pray a prayer of blessing over us & the congregation of BPC! I just can’t put into words the feelings that came over me during that moment…it was so powerful!! Following the service we moved the party to the Lower Level of the church where we continued the celebration with Cake & Ice Cream!We praise God for all the amazing things He’s done in the life of BPC in these few short years and we really can’t wait to see what He’s going to do in the years to come!
