Morning Carline has become more congested each day during the 7:50 to 8:00 AM timeframe.  I ask for your help to alleviate this congestion by making every effort to bring your children to school prior to 7:50 AM, if possible.  I would also ask that you not drop off your children in the center lane and not in the area of the back driveway of the church, as this is a dangerous practice.   Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.  

GotQuestions.org     The internet is a spiritual battlefield. People from all over the world go to the internet every day looking for answers to their spiritual questions, but there is a lot of false and spiritually destructive information out there from cults, false religions, and pseudo-Christian groups.  GotQuestions.org seeks to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ by coming alongside the church to help people find biblical, applicable, and timely answers to their spiritually-related questions through an internet presence. GotQuestions.org receives 125 questions per day via their website, and their answers/articles have been translated into 154 languages. The Question of the Week email has 270,000 subscribers, and there are over 4400 answers to frequently asked Bible questions published online at GotQuestions.org. Mr. Starkey, one of our BCS high school Bible teachers, serves on the GotQ team of volunteer researchers and writers who provide answers to the questions people send in.   This week, the BCS website will initiate a link that will help you get connected to GotQuestions.org.  Please know that it is a safe site to help you address your biggest questions and concerns from a biblical standpoint.   Also, check out the site for other links with a biblical perspective to other special interest groups.  

November has been set aside as the month to recognize the BCS Secondary Teacher of the Month. If you have a 7^th through 12^th grade student, you can nominate your child's teacher on the parent RenWeb by opening the nomination link on the front page.  The nomination link will remain open through the afternoon of Tuesday, November 3^rd.
