COMMUNION OFFERING
COMMUNION OFFERING This month’s communion offering is for the Housing Initiative. We are $15,000 away from our goal of $65,000 for 3 projects this year: Habitat for Humanity, local housing repair through GraceWorks of Williamson County, and construction on a women and children’s hospital in Honduras. You can give during communion in the offering plates, with the Housing envelopes in the bulletins, online at www.bumc.net/MyAccess (Housing Initiative), 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.
