Worship

• Bayshore’s own Michael Costa recently recorded an album featuring fellow Bayshore members called “The Bayshore Collective: Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs.”  This Sunday, October 13 The Bayshore Collective will lead us in worship with songs from the album. This is the perfect time to invite your friends and neighbors to worship with you and your Bayshore family!  CD copies will be available for a donation this Sunday and the album will also be available for digital download. All proceeds come back to support Bayshore.

Barnabas Ministry

Do you ever go to your mailbox only to be disappointed by what was in it? Bills, junk mail, and unwanted political propaganda make for a sad mailbox. The Barnabas Ministry is an opportunity to fill our college students’ mailboxes with notes of encouragement. Bayshore is looking for “Barnabases” to be paired with our college students.

If you are interested in this ministry of encouragement, please contact Dina Marshall.

If you like to or want to learn how to refurbish “stuff” to be used to give young adults in need their first homes, join us. Every Wednesday a team of people will meet from 6:30 – 7:30pm in the First Nesters Studio on the 2nd floor. Childcare is provided.

While we have many friends from Hyde Park ALF who worship and mingle with us on Wednesdays and Sundays, there are some people who simply aren’t mobile enough to leave the property. Join a group of Bayshore family who are leading worship onsite at the ALF on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm.

Meet in the dining room at 3011 W. DeLeon Street, only ½ mile from Bayshore. Questions, contact Jim Neill.
