LIVING like Jesus, bringing JOY to God
It’s not too late to make your financial pledge to God’s work through the ministries of Brentwood UMC. There’s a commitment card and envelope in the bulletin today, or you may pledge on-line at www.bumc.net/pledgeform. If you’ve already pledged, thank you for your faithfulness. Just imagine what God can do when we fully entrust our lives and resources to him!
