RELIGION BRIEFS

NORTHVIEW UNITED METHODIST CHURCH on Plantation Road will offer a program on organ donation Tuesday at 7 p.m. Bill Cunningham, senior coordinator for the Virginia Organ Procurement Agency, will speak.

\ BETHLEHEM BIBLE COLLEGE will hold its seventh commencement and certificate awarding ceremony Monday at 7 p.m. at Pilgrim Baptist Church, 1415 Eighth St. N.W.

Registration also is in progress for the summer session. Courses offered will be Isaiah, Homiletics and Effective Preaching. For more information, call 362-2586.

\ BONSACK BAPTIST CHURCH has voted to pledge to a $700,000 debt reduction and building renovations campaign to begin this fall. The Rev. Dr. Robert Moore, pastor, said the money will be used to complete a building program for the new worship center that was occupied in late 1991. The cost of completing the $1.7 million church prevented the needed addition of Sunday school rooms and better use of existing space.

\ THE REV. J. WELDON MYERS, a retired pastor residing in Roanoke, has joined the part-time staff of Cloverdale Church of the Brethren. Myers will work in the areas of nurture and visitation.
