New Fiscal Year Message from the President
07/15/2018 08:46:08 AM
On July 1 we began a new temple fiscal year (not to be confused with the secular new year of Jan 1 or Rosh Hashanah!) So I'd like to give you a short report. Last week I attended the ShulCloud conference in New Jersey. Since we adopted ShulCloud as our congregation management system in 2015 we've really been able to clean up our accounts and increase our collections! ShulCloud also helps us economize by consolidated all of our web site, calendar, e-mail, event registration and membership functionality into one system. We heard about a lot of exciting new features.
One area that they are going to emphasize this year is getting more congregations on the mobile app, with new, more flexible templates coming soon. Do you have the free BCRC mobile app on your cell phone or tablet? It's a very convenient way to make your payments, check on the calendar, read about featured events, or check out a fellow congregant's contact info in our online directory. Just go to your phone's app store and search for Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation. Let's all make it a 'new year's resolution' to get the free app!
Watch for updates soon our priorities for the new fiscal year.

Community Seder - a BCRC Tradition
On Saturday April 8 at 6 PM, BCRC continues its annual tradition of a community seder on the first Saturday of Passover. Rabbi Amy will join with song leader Rachel Gomberg to lead the seder. We will provide a chicken entree and ask families to bring a side dish or dessert that is kosher for Passover. BCRC permits legumes including chickpeas, peas, and lentils as well as quinoa and rice. Click here to RSVP by Apr 3 - free for members, $10/adult (13 and over) for public.
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!
