Taking Good Care  Of Our Blessings:

BFMC is asking everyone with young children to take extra care to watch over them  when they choose to stay upstairs in the Sanctuary or in the foyer during any church activities, because of their safety first and also because some of the children are destroying the visitors cards, writing and drawing in the Hymns Books, the Bibles and the offering envelopes in the pew,  which is costing us all,  for instance over the past weeks we have collected about 40 pieces of destroyed visitors card, please let’s take good care of the church.  Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.
