Bay Shore Church - Sermons and News from Bay Shore Community Congregational Church in Belmont Shore, California.

Last Sunday during announcements we heard from 3 Senior Girl Scout members of Troop 655: Sierra Caley, Laura Fricke & Taylor Tschudin who announced their Gold Award Projects (equivalent to Eagle Scout Award).  Each project was designed to benefit some

aspect of Bay Shore Church’s ministries.

Sierra’s Project, Homes Without

Boundaries, entails her organizing, recruiting & facilitating this first time Bay Shore Church program, (under her mentor and liaison, church member, George Jones).  Sierra’s desire to involve High School kids in Missions has her venturing to Mexico to build a home for a deserving family, over Spring Break, leaving 3/23, returning 3/28.  Her goal, as Youth Rep for the Missions Commission, is to have this project become an annual part of

the ongoing ministries of Bay Shore.

Laura‘s Project, “Book It” to Bay Shore, is

Phase II of the Odette Gulley Library project, first completed by sister Girl Scout, Lauren Caley, who hand-built the bookshelves for her Gold Award.  Laura’s love of reading and desire to give something back to the church that housed the memories of scout meetings, brought her to this project.  To date, she has sorted, categorized, purged and input 800 plus titles into a library data base program for the church, and is soliciting new titles to be added

from various sources.

Taylor’s Project, Plant Love; Grow Peace,

grew out of Taylor’s passion and nostalgic memories of her church camp experiences with Bay Shore at Pilgrim Pines.  A camper since 3^rd grade, and now Counselor in Training, Taylor designed her project to beautify the camp she loves surrounding grounds, by recruiting for, organizing and providing trees for a plant day at the camp,

tentatively scheduled for March 31.

On MARCH 9, the girls will have information

and donation opportunities in the Concert Hall for those church members and guests who may wish to contribute to the support of any of their projects. Ways to donate include: check payable to Bay Shore church, (memo) Project Name. Buy SCRIP CARDS to donate to the project. Purchase items (such as tools) for sale at the tables. Any support is truly appreciated. Thank You.

        Sierra C. Laura F. and Taylor T.
