This page is to keep you up to date with the latest things BCC is doing in the wake of the Coronavirus (Covid-19). We won't be meeting at LIFE.CENTRE during this time, please see below all the latest info about what we are doing.
Being Family
Lifegroups are continuing, there is an even greater need for us to be family right now. If you haven't set Zoom up yet we would definitley recommend setting this up as most groups will use it. If you're not apart of a Lifegroup then you there are plenty of groups who would love to welcome you. To see what groups are running, head over to our Lifegroups page.
Prayer meetings are also going online! Mon – 7.30am Prayer Meeting (Zoom), 12pm Prayer LIVE (Facebook), 1pm Prayer Meeting (Zoom) and 8.45pm Prayer LIVE (Instagram) Tuesday – 1pm Prayer Meeting (Zoom) Wednesday – 1pm Prayer Meeting (Zoom) Thursday – 12pm Prayer LIVE (Facebook), 1pm Prayer Meeting (Zoom) and 8.45pm Prayer LIVE (Instagram) Friday – 1pm Prayer Meeting (Zoom)
Sam has sourced and made loads of cool resources for our BCC children, head over to the Children's Resources page for all of this.
George and the team have got lots going on for the youth too! Check out the brand new youth.bcc instagram account for lots of fun and info. Youth groups are set to return in September with some Covid-19 changes - watch this space!
Amazing Sundays
We're still going to enjoy #amazingsundays together. You can join the livestream on our YouTube channel by following the '[Watch Live][7]' link on the menu bar every Sunday from 10.30am. Children's Church Live runs from 11am on their YouTube channel!
As we’re not physically meeting together for the time being, we want to encourage those who would ordinarily give into the weekly offering to explore other ways of giving. This may be posting a cheque (payable to Bournemouth Community Church), or through Churchsuite by clicking here (you don’t have to be set up with online banking – only a credit/debit card is needed for this!)
Give via SMS! Just send an SMS to 07380 307 800 with 'BCC give' and the amount you’d like to give! For example: ‘BCC give 50’ to give a one-off donation of £50; or ‘BCC give 50w’ or ‘BCC give 50m’ to give a recurring weekly or monthly donation of £50. You’ll then receive a text message back containing a link to BCC’s ChurchSuite Donate page with the information pre-filled for you to confirm and complete. THANK YOU! We are so thankful for your generosity to BCC, especially in times like this! [7]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbsOCBjdQv07QHhrb9-ijLQ/
Engaging Community
In these unprecedented times there has never been more of a need for us to engage our community with the love of Jesus. If you haven't joined or started a neighbourhood Covid-19 support group then we would highly recommend it!
