Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World
June 4 - 10, 2017
COMMUNION OFFERING
COMMUNION OFFERING This month’s Communion offering is for refugee outreach through our ministry partners. Many families in the Middle East have been displaced by violence and unrest. We can offer God’s love amidst conflict by working with the Church and other agencies to heal the broken-hearted. 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 explaining how to register.
