CHURCH ACTIVITY

Our Church’s Superstar Julie McMahon

BRPC is very grateful and wishes to acknowledge Julie for all her time and her many talents that she has contributed to help run our church. Believe me, it’s been a lot! She and her husband Dennis have been members for approximately 10 years and they are coming up to their 10th year wedding anniversary very soon too. 

Let me highlight some of the things she has done and is still doing: 

(1) Julie has been an Elder for several years starting in her previous church in Sarasota. When she was an active Elder for our church, which her term ended the previous year, her decisive input while on Session helped make important decisions to maintain the structure of this church. 

(2)  She had been our Treasurer for more than three years, but had to resign last year for personal reasons. 

(3) She recently helped set up the updated record system called Servant Keeper and entered the members’ data. And is still maintaining those records when her help is needed.  She did this on the “old” system too. 

(4) Julie had and still does volunteer in the church’s office when called upon for whatever needs to get done.  

(5) Julie learned how to set up and run the video screen during Sunday service so she could step in when Evelyn is not available.  Do you realize without her, there would be no screen viewing when Evelyn is not at church? By the way, thank you Evelyn too. 

(6)  You know that big electronic sign on SR 70, yep, Julie in-puts those words up there for all to see.  

These are a few of the many tasks Julie volunteers for at our church. Here’s another individual you can say “What would we do without her.” So, when you see her or you can email her, give her a big thank you for all she does. She certainly deserves it.  Thank you, Julie, can’t tell you how much your church appreciates everything you do.   God’s Blessings on you and your family.

See more Mission Information at the bottom of this Section.

Presbyterian Missions are asking help from all their churches for assistance in supplying water to disaster areas here in the USA and in the world.  BRPC April’s mission project will assist the Presbytery to accomplish this need by asking for your help by sending in your funding contributions. For example, these funds will be getting bottled water for weather diaster's victims in the Midwest or getting a water purification system in Africa to stop deaths due to contaminated drinking water.  Please make a check to the church and write “water help” on the memo line. 

Let us share our blessings to help others. Thank you all for your heartfelt generosity.  
I have to also mention;  don't forget to bring in your non-perishable food items for the Manatee Food Bank barrel.  There is also a list of specific items needed posted on the Narthex board for the homebound seniors that receive Meals on Wheels. Oh yes, don't forget to stop by the Penny Fund basket and drop in your loose change or dollar bills.  We are starting fresh for this new year, as all funds were used up.  (Look for my separate email to come with that list of accomplishments in 2020 only because of you.)  Thank you all so very much for your continued support of your Mission Team's projects.As a whole, we can still call ourselves the "The Small but Mighty Church" because of your generous hearts and God's Blessings bestowed upon us in so many ways as a Church family.  Pam Tuohey/Mission Team Leader
