bumc.net NEIGHBORS: a new series about loving the people around us bumc.net/Neighbors Last fall, the story of Mr. Fred Rogers led our Lead Team into a discussion about the Great Commandment, which is to love God and love your neighbor. It came up that the way to carry out the mission of disciple-making begins with being a good neighbor. But you can’t be a good neighbor if you don’t know your neighbor. Next week, we’ll begin an 8-week series called “Neighbors,” during which we will have weekly practical challenges to be more intentional neighbors in our community. It will be an exciting time in the life of our church as we see what God will do in our lives!
CONGRATULATIONS, CONFIRMANDS This weekend, we have the honor of confirming 124 students into our BUMC family through their public affirmations of faith. You can find the list of these confirmands on the inside panel of your bulletin and keep them in your prayers for their faith journeys to come!
