Our congregation is composed of people from all walks of life who come together to offer healing and comfort, learning and encouragement, much like a family. We welcome all, and believe that extravagant hospitality is central to the role of the church.
At Beaver UCC, we help our members grow spiritually, while at the same time understanding that everyone has their own spiritual path. Our church is a place where you can think for yourself and differing views are respected. It is our hope that through education, fellowship, and service we can, as a community, come closer to God and each other.
In all things we seek to offer an atmosphere of informality, spontaneity, fellowship, and fun. We hope our church is a place where all feel both welcome and comfortable.

Easter Breakfast - April 1 - 8:45 AM The Easter Breakfast will begin at 8:45 AM on April 1st, Easter Sunday, and food will be served for about an hour. This year’s menu will include buttermilk pancakes, link sausages, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. Alan Nelson may make his special waffles again. There is no set charge, but donations are welcome. Easter Egg Hunt - April 1 - Following Easter Service We will be having an Easter egg hunt on April 1st after the 10:30 Easter service. The event will be held outside if the weather permits, and inside if there is bad weather. Please feel free to bring plastic eggs with treats in them in the weeks leading up to Easter. They can be left on the island in the kitchen downstairs. Holy Week Schedule Sunday, March 25th - Palm Sunday Worship Service Thursday, March 29th – Maundy Thursday Service, 6:00 PM, a symbolic service in the lower level with a light meal.

Instead of a regular sermon, Pastor Brian will pick several questions out of a basket to answer. The congregation is asked to think of some good questions. Perhaps there is some theological question that you just are burning to have answered. We will have pieces of paper and pens out in advance for you to write your questions on. Youth Event - April 20 - 6:00 PM Mark your calendars; we will have a youth event on Friday the 20th of April starting at 6:00 pm. Activities are to be determined and suggestions to Pastor Brian are welcome. Church Work Day - April 22 - After Worship Please join us after church on Sunday April 22nd. We will spend some time cleaning up the outside of the church, weeding, and cleaning the shelter etc. We will also be spreading some new rubber mulch for the swing set area. Please bring gloves, rakes, wheelbarrows, sprayers for weeds, or anything else helpful if you have them. New Sign Fund As many of you know, we approved spending and raising money for a $5,000 - $8,000 new sign project. We are asking for donations for this project and hope to have donations received by July 1st. The funds will be used to fix/replace our roadside sign. It will be a combination of a new backlit plastic sign and LED text displays. Our goal is to get the sign completed by end of summer. If you are so moved to help with this, please consider a donation to the church for this campaign before July 1st, and just mark sign fund, or capital campaign on your check or envelope. Because we do not know the exact amount we will need, it is possible that we will spend less money than we raise. Any excess funds will be kept and used for general maintenance projects for the church. BUCC Garage/Basement Sale - May 3-4-5 Mark your Calendar for – BUCC Annual Garage/Basement Sale!! Our basement sale has been scheduled for May 3rd, May 4th and May 5th. To make this event successful and stress-free, teamwork is absolutely necessary!! #1 - We need donations! Please save those forgotten goodies for us. Please try to store items until after Easter, April 1st. If you absolutely need a place to store items prior to Easter, contact Pastor Brian and we will figure something out. #2 - We need help on April 29th, after church. That is when we will ask all congregational members to help set up tables and put all the items out for pricing. #3 - We need people to sign up to staff the garage sale. You will soon find a signup sheet in the back of the church. #4 - Lastly, we need church members to help us pack up left over items to go to the Salvation Army. We will do this after church on May 6th. Thank you and hope to see you and your forgotten treasures at the garage/basement sale. |
