We are pleased to announce that Rev.
Bruce Ervin has accepted the call to BFCC to
be our Interim Pastor.
Pastor Bruce Ervin was born and raised in
Chicago, Illinois, but Indiana was the second
of the 49 states that he’s been in, so he’s
happy to consider himself an adopted
Hoosier. An ordained minister in the
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and
the United Church of Canada for more than
35 years, he has served ministries in
Mooresville, Bloomington and Martinsville,
Indiana since returning to the Midwest in
2011. History, baseball and travel are
among his passions. He is honored to be
serving as the Interim Pastor here at First
Christian Church-Bedford.
Pastor Bruce’s first Sunday is July 3. Please
join us as we welcome Pastor Bruce to the
family of Bedford First Christian Church.
Sunday, July 3, immediately following worship. Please bring a dish to share. It can be
sweet or it can be savory or it can be both. Examples would be fruit or veggie tray,
sandwiches, boiled eggs, deviled eggs, cheese ball, salads, desserts, nothing is off limits.
Make you way to the Fellowship Hall to enjoy some delicious food and meet, greet and
welcome our new Minister, Pastor Bruce.
LIFE FOOD PANTRY

Peanut Butter
and Jelly
You may leave your items in the baskets located in the front foyer.
