Step Up to ServeHabitat Update
Construction is well underway! You can follow the progress each week on Facebook. We’ll be building through June 2nd, and then dedicate the home on Sunday, June 3rd at 2pm. The entire congregation is invited!
Habitat Quick Fact:It’s easy to think of our BUMC Habitat Build as a massive effort to create life-altering change for the O’Neal family but everyone who builds, volunteers, or donates also ex-periences God’s grace in a meaningful way. We’re helping this one family and, in doing so, helping thousands of us here in our BUMC family.
Room in the inn Volunteer “Thank You” THANK YOU to all of the Sunday school classes and BUMC members who have given their time -- 2,046 hours! -- to help with the Room In The Inn (RITI) ministry during the 2011-2012 season. Due to your dedication, 425 men were shown the love of Christ and given a warm place to sleep, a meal, breakfast, and a sack lunch for the next day as well as an opportunity to shower and have clean clothes.
