We celebrate and nurture the "beloved community" at BUMC.
This Sunday, we will be led in worship by some lovely “unreasonable women” whose courage sustains their mission to spread God’s love far and wide. Following the service, all are invited to feast their bodies and souls at the Sunday luncheon. The afternoon is full of activity as we chart our course faithfully together.
