NA INTERNATIO L MISSIONS
COMMUNION OFFERING www.bumc.net/MissionTrips This month’s communion offering is for international mission trips. International missions are a chance to serve our global neighbors while opening our eyes to the great poverty in the world. Your support provides opportunities for BUMC members to experience God at work in communities that are different than our own and provide for needs such as medical care, housing, and education. You can give in the communion 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.
