With barn quilts\, jewelry and even a weekend getaway\, there is truly something for everyone. You won’t want to miss this! \nWe have chosen Charity Auctions Today to host our online auction for 2020. This site makes it easy for anyone to view the items and place bids. \nDon’t feel comfortable bidding online? No problem! Simply give us a call and we will be more than happy to place a Proxy-Bid for you! We have even introduced an option to skip the bidding and purchase your favorite quilt immediately! But act fast\, these beautiful quilts won’t last long. \nCOVID-19 has changed the looks of our Quilt Auction this year but the mission remains the same.

BCHS will ship purchases when circumstances permit using priority mail. \n \n \n \n \n \n Can I see the quilts in person?\n Yes!

(January 22\, 1973\, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states.) Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God’s gift of life\, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion\, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage. \nEach January we recognize Sanctity of Human Life.  We recognize the impact of the legalization of abortion in the hearts and lives of individuals and families both inside the walls of our churches\, in our communities\, and throughout our nation. \nOne component of the ministry of Baptist Children’s Home and Family Services is to partner with churches\, providing resources and support to inform congregations of Biblical truth specific to the value of human life. \nPlease give us a call to let us know how BCHFS can help you as we celebrate the gift of human life together!
