July 31 - August 6, 2016 Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World
BUMC Columbarium Expansion Please excuse our mess as we expand the Columbarium in the Prayer Garden, estimated to be complete in late September. Once completed, there will be an additional 672 niches to the existing Columbarium. Internment in the existing niches will be able to take place during construction. Contact Sandy at swalker@bumc.net with any questions about the project.
