CHRISTMAS IN JULY Thank you to everyone who has given school supplies and donations! If you still have supplies, please drop them off at the bins in the Narthex so our older elementary students can assemble the backpacks. You can also continue to give generously by texting BUMCCOM and a dollar amount to 28950.
