New Parking Regulations

Volunteer Opportunity
The media team for Sunday morning worship at Bellefield is looking for volunteers. It's low-commitment and summer's a great time to join-only one service to work at! All you have to do is show up early on Sunday to turn things on, press the space bar a lot, and turn things off after the service. The more people we have, the less often you're on duty!
If you're interested, email Becca Stehle at  mediocrelemming@hotmail.com  It's an easy way to get more involved at Bellefield and it's a huge help.

COLLEGE MINISTRY

Common Ground is a summer gathering of college students that meets on Wednesday nights at The Church of Ascension (located at Neville and Ellsworth in Oakland). College students from all over Pittsburgh meet from 6:00-8:30 p.m. for food, friendship, and Bible study. Come out and join us beginning June 3rd! For more information or to be added to our mailing list, please contact Bobbi Perkins at bobbi@bellefield.org
