Grief Support Group Begins September 19 Meets Thursdays, 5:30 - 7:00 pm Alive Hospice will be hosting an 8-week Grief Support group at BUMC beginning September 19 through November 7th. This group will be professionally facilitated and is appropriate for anyone who has experienced the loss of a parent, spouse, sibling, child or other loved one. $40 fee, but this may be waived if needed. To register please call 615-963-4732 or e-mail griefsupport@alivehospice.org. More People = More Cars! And that’s a good thing – but to make parking and traffic between services run more smoothly, we need additional parking volunteers to direct traffic flow, show visitors where to park, encourage people to take the Synergy lot shuttle, etc. Contact jbumgarner@bumc.net if you’d like to join our Parking Lot Team. And speaking of the shuttle … Instead of sitting in the BUMC lot waiting for a parking space to open up, consider parking across the street in the Synergy lot and taking the shuttle! Starting Point Begins tonight, September 8 at 6 pm Registration is still open! If you’re interested in learning how to become more active in the congregational life of Brentwood United Methodist Church, then we encourage you to come to Starting Point, which begins tonight and runs through Oct. 13.
