COMMUNION OFFERING
COMMUNION OFFERING: LOVE IN DEED This month’s communion offering is for Love In Deed, our church-wide day of service on September 30. Our goal is to raise $60,000 for the more than 20 projects we'll complete that day, including packing 100,000 meals, repairing and painting classrooms, renovating homes for the elderly, building a community center playground, preparing meals for our hungry neighbors, and assembling disaster relief kits. You can give during Communion in the offering plates or text BUMCCOM and a dollar amount to 28950 (ex. BUMCCOM 50). If this is your first time giving through text, you will receive a text back with information on how to register.
