Timothy Project Table in the Narthex this Morning Are you an adult who would like to make a difference in a 7th or 8th grader’s life? If so, you could become part of our “Timothy Project” group. We need 200 adults to serve as prayer partners to these students in our church. You would simply pray, send cards/letters, and offer encouragement to your student. It’s a great way for you to make a difference just as Paul did in Timothy’s life when he was a young man. If you would like more information, contact Sandra Wiseman at [email protected].

Thanks to the KidSALE Committee for their hard work recently in making the KidSale consignment sale such a huge success! KidSale is a consignment sale of quality children’s clothing, toys, nursery equipment, and anything else that has to do with raising a child that happens at BUMC every Spring and Fall. It is a ministry that benefits everyone…the con-signor makes money, the buyer saves money while getting quality merchandise and the church makes money for its missions and youth and children’s programs. A team of 14 ladies work tirelessly for 7 days to make this happen. A huge thanks goes out to the Chair, KELLY MERRILL, and her team, Tina Dill, Jemma Hurst, Audrey Bouvier, Berenda Buzzell, Teri Shaw, Carla Mills, Lorene Morgan, Alicia Dills, Erica Rollins, Anne Hohn, Jackie Harry, Barbara Fohr, and Janet Rich. Thanks ladies for a job well done!
