COMMUNION OFFERING
COMMUNION OFFERING This month’s communion offering goes toward the Orphan, Foster and Adoption Ministry (OFAM). The mission of OFAM is to intentionally care for local and global orphans, foster children, and adoptive and foster families by raising awareness and facilitating conversations with our BUMC family. OFAM is currently collecting items to assemble Easter Baskets for foster children and their families through Williamson and Davidson County nonprofits. 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 with information on how to register.
