Calling all scouts! Scout shabbat Feb 10
Calling all scouts! Mark your calendars for Friday, February 10. Our own Alex Harris, chaplain's aide for Boy Scout Troop 1941, based in Ashburn, will deliver a short welcome message about scouting and Tu B'Shvat, and can answer questions from prospective scouts. Come in uniform! Scouts attending can get a special commemorative patch; email Alex (alexwh24601@gmail.com) if you would like one.
Helper Family Returns: Please Sign Up!
Beginning this year, BCRC is bringing back the Helper Family program for Friday Erev Shabbat services. We encourage each family unit (including single members) to volunteer as a helper family for one or two Erev Shabbat services each year. This is a mitzvah for the BCRC community, and a great way for you to connect with other congregants. Click HERE to sign up. Click HERE to see full instructions for helper families. Thank you!
