COMMUNION OFFERING
COMMUNION OFFERING: ROOM IN THE INN This month's communion offering is for Room in the Inn. Room in the Inn provides a winter shelter program from November through March every year for the local homeless community, half of whom have suffered setbacks resulting in temporary homelessness and the other half of whom are chronically homeless. 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.
