WHAT’S HAPPENING
  • Life Steps (Room 604) and Connect To Serve (Room 606) -Tuesday night classes will start March 6 @ 7 pm - register now.
  • Welcome Lunch – This is a free lunch for those who would like to know more about Bay Life Church. It is a great time to meet some of the pastors and other new people while enjoying a meal together. The next Welcome Lunch is March 18. Make reservations at the INFOdesk or online.
  • Baptism – The next baptism is scheduled for March 31 and April 1. If you are interested, please attend a pre-baptism meeting held at the fountain between services on March 17 & 18. Contact the INFOdesk for details.
  • Fashion for a Cause - March 10 – This is a prom dress auction to raise funds for the center. Bidding on the dresses begins at $25. Tickets to the event are available at the Women’s Resource Center.
  • Prayer Night - will be February 28 @ 7 pm. Join us as we pray for the needs of our church.

Service Spotlight
This week’s service spotlight goes to Bethany Lamneck who stepped
up to help with Ladies’ Bible Study hospitality. Bethany comes early
each week to set up all the table elements, make coffee, arrange
leader’s pieces and goes the extra mile when it comes to making
Ladies’ Bible Study a warm, welcoming experience. Please take time
to thank Bethany for all her efforts and leadership.
