Next Sunday speaker: Denneze Nelson - Pastor Candidate at Belvedere Family Church

Dear Brothers and Sisters!

There are two important announcements I’d like everyone to be aware of.

The first is regarding next week’s Sunday Service and the second is regarding the after NFS zoom meetup.

Next Service’s Speaker

Next Sunday we will have a special guest speaker giving the sermon. Her name is Dr. Denneze Nelson and she is currently being considered as one of the candidates for Pastor here at BFC. This will be a good opportunity to get to know her and her style. Please come to support if you are able to attend.

Post- National Family Service Meetup

As you all know there are big shifts happening in our community and we are constantly evolving. We’ve been hosting a zoom meetup for quite a while now after the National Family Service. Through the meetup, we’ve been able to share with one another and stay connected on a weekly basis through this difficult time of social distancing and social isolation. As things have started to open up and more and more people are starting to attend our bi-weekly in-person Sunday Service we feel that the community meetups are becoming less a priority.

I also want to take responsibility for the lack of communication about the meetups in the past few weeks. There has not been a consistent facilitator for the last few meetups and that may have caused some confusion for those that attended without a clear leader leading the discussion.

We will continue to have the meetup available for the time being, however, we can’t always guarantee that a staff member will be there due to other schedules coming up. If there is no facilitator present please start and end with a prayer and choose a facilitator amongst yourselves.

Once the pastor search is over and things clear up we will reassess the situation with the new leadership. Thank you for your patience during this time.

Justin Okamoto, Assistant Pastor
