Refugee Relief Fundraiser Presentation (Dec. 6, 2015)

On December 6th, BCC hosted guests from World Vision who spoke about the crisis unfolding in Europe and the Middle East.  We had approximately an hour after the service to learn about the crisis, and then held a fundraiser lunch which brought in nearly $8,000 in one-time gifts and pledges for the work that World Vision is doing to assist refugees.  You can see the presentation video below.  If you feel led to become a World Vision Refugee Responder (supporter) you can do so here.
