Howdy Findernios!
A reminder that this Saturday, April 19th is our monthly service trip to the Union Rescue Mission. For those that don’t know, The Union Rescue Mission is the nation’s largest homeless shelter, housing upwards of 900 people per night. We are going to be meeting at 3:15 PM in the Bel Air lower parking lot, to go server dinner to the homeless, finishing up by 8:00 PM. I’ll be sending out another email later this week with further details. Please, let me know if you are interested in coming or have further questions. In the mean time, here is what else is going on at Bel Air Pres:

Family Rescue Center [ April 24 ]
1–4 p.m. Extra hands needed to help clean and reorganize. Share Christ’s love by giving your time to this family care ministry located in the Valley.

Big Sunday Weekend [ Saturday, May 3 ]
9 a.m.–1 p.m. An opportunity for small groups to serve together! Pack food boxes, build a house, clean, paint, serve dinner, or make a Mother’s Day gift for a needy Mom.

Bel Air will host an Art Fair as one of our Big Sunday Weekend Hub events. Funds
collected in exchange for works of art will benefit L.A. charities.

Prayer for Outreach Partners
This week we ask you to join us in prayer for Family Rescue Center/Rescate staff as they labor to minister to single moms and children who need food, clothing, and basic medical care. Pray that they will see Christ’s care and mercy through the practical love displayed.
