A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in the Week of Prayer! Our prayer is that it was uplifting to you and your family, and that God has been glorified in these hours of prayer. I hope to do something similar next spring, so please let me know if that’s something you would like! Psalm 126:3 – The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

I hope and pray that this post finds everyone doing well and that you sense God’s presence in your daily life. Just want to share a couple of announcements. One, Vanessa Janis is starting a zoom session for young women. You can contact her for when they are “zooming” and to get the code to join in. Second, May 7th is the National Day of Prayer. Because we can not meet together to pray, the Paris Ministerial Fellowship is asking each Church to pray for our nation during one hour of that day. Bell Ridge has been asked to pray during the 4-5 hour of the afternoon. I hope that you will join me in that time to pray for our nation. There are many things to pray about, but the most important would be for our nation to turn back to God one person at a time. Ask God to change the heart of one person.

We have expanded the technology options for you to listen to Kurt and Don’s sermons and devotionals. YouTube and Facebook are available if you want “see” or just “listen” to their sermon recordings. The hyperlinks for these options are provided by accessing Media then Sermons on this website.
Many are asking about our “drive thru” communion service. We will continue to serve communion on Sunday mornings starting at 9:30 AM until we are allowed to return to our regular Sunday morning worship. God bless each and everyone of you; may He protect you and keep you healthy.

Spring has sprung, the grass is growing and the Church needs people to mow the yard. A plus for this job is that God will bless you and you can practice social distancing while doing it. If you are interested in helping with this task, please call the church to let us know. Thank you!

The staff of Bell Ridge is praying that each and every one of our Church family will experience God this Easter weekend. We will be sharing communion again this Sunday in our drive thru setting starting at 9:30 AM. If you wish to have communion but can not make it to the Church we would be glad to bring some to your home. Just call the Church and let us know of your need. Remember God loves you and He is in control.

Kim Setzer just received a phone call from the Red Cross regarding canteen items. She was told that she could only provide prepackaged items during the blood drive. Kim does appreciate everyone’s offer to help but now she can’t use those food items. She must purchase the loaves of bread and cookies.
If you have any questions, please contact Kim Setzer.
The Eunice group and the Ladies Aid group will not be meeting in April. Stay safe and stay strong!

Thank you to everyone that offered to assist with the blood drive canteen. We now have everything that we need.

Bell Ridge will be hosting the canteen for the Red Cross Blood Drive on Monday, April 27th at the KC Hall in Paris. Kim Setzer is in need of five or more dozen cookies, three loaves of wheat bread and two loaves of white bread. Please contact Kim if you want to share and she will pick them up on the 26th of April.
