Announcements in Jan. 25 Bulletin
Share God’s Love without Sharing Germs during greeting time with smiles instead of handshakes. Let’s protect each other during flu season.
Please Join Us for fellowship in Garst Hall following 10:30 service. Our focus is on fellowship; refreshments are available.
TODAY is God’s Storehouse Sunday. Please leave your donations in the basket outside the church office. Your generosity helps local families in need.
Worship Today at The Meadows. Pastor Scott is leading the service there at 2 pm and residents appreciate your time visiting them there, at 1201 Martindale.
We’re Serving Lunch at the Coffey County Historical Museum Saturday. Please register to help, or to provide funds for supplies/food on the sign-up sheets on the office window. Half the proceeds will benefit our BUMC youth and half will benefit Lanny Ratzlaff’s Mexico mission trip.
Souper Bowl Sunday is next Sunday! Your donations of soup will benefit God’s Storehouse.
The Annual Sweetheart Dinner is approaching! Plan to enjoy this youth fundraiser luncheon after 10:30 service on Feb. 8 in Garst Hall.
The Annual Prayer Partner program is being organized for Lent. Each child and youth participant is matched with an adult who promises to anonymously pray for them throughout Lent and send a weekly card to remind them of the prayers. A “revealing” breakfast is held on Palm Sunday. Children, youth, and adults should register on the office window sheets.
A Mission Statement is being developed for BUMC. Your input is needed. The current proposal is: The mission of Burlington UMC is to ignite a Christ-centered passion for being and sharing God’s love through serving and caring for others. By January 31, please jot your ideas and edits to the proposal sheets in Garst Hall.
