  • Schedule a BCH speaker to share at your church. Call 336-474-1209 or visit bchoffering.org/speaker

  • Mark the Week of Prayer (Nov. 15 - 22) on your calendar or choose the dates most convenient for your church to participate.

  • Consider showing a video each week.

SHARE

• Hang your offering posters.

PARTICIPATE

• Distribute the offering envelopes and bulletin inserts which include the Week of Prayer guide. Ask church members to use the guide to pray for the BCH ministry.

• Collect your offering and send it to the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.

• Participate in a stay-at-home missions project: Though physical events have been canceled because of COVID, your church, Sunday School class, small and youth groups can be involved with BCH by using our new four-week prayer guide or participating in “Cards for kids.” Find these missions resources on our Friends of Children page.

VIDEOS
