UPCOMING SERMON SERIES: PASSION www.bumc.net/Lent Begins March 4 & 5 Sometimes it takes us hearing the same story over and over again to fully comprehend its meaning. The more we hear a story, the more we understand it, and the more passionate we become. Just like us, it took the disciples a few tries to understand what was happening in the last week of Jesus’ life. During our new sermon series, Passion, we’ll learn each week what it really means to follow Jesus. Together we’ll work to understand our role in the never-ending story.
