May 11 - 17, 2014

We are so grateful for the hundreds of Sunday School teachers, small group mentors, Bible study leaders, nursery helpers, and other dedicated volunteers whom God is using to prepare children, youth and adults to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Thank you for being OUR HEROES!

Today we are celebrating the heroes of our age-level discipleship ministries (children, youth & adults).

DISCOVER Your Gifts Today

The world desperately needs people who use their gifts to serve. No one is without gifts or without purpose. The gifts God gives empower people to serve one another, our community, and our world. Here are 3 ways you can discern your spiritual gifts:

• Online Inventory: www.bumc.net/spiritualgifts• Printed Inventory & Description: Serving Opportunities Catalog• Group or Class Inventory: Arrange for your small group or class to study your gifts together by contacting Judith Bone at jbone@bumc.net.

Student Ministry Heroes On Friday, May 2, our Student Ministry hosted a youth-led battle of the bands competition called Rock the Chains. Ten bands competed with approximately 250 in attendance. They raised $4,230.72 for International Justice Mission in the fight against modern day slavery! Thanks, BUMC heroes!

New Director of Elementary Ministry Starting May 16, Megan Teegarden will be our new Director of Elementary Ministry. Megan has an undergraduate degree

The Pastoral Staff of BUMC visits area hospitals on a regular and rotating basis. Hospitals do not inform the church when its members are admitted. Please let the church know if you (or a family member) are hospitalized by contacting Julie Donley, jdonley@bumc.net, 615-324-7254.

HOSPITAL VISITATION AT BUMC

Sometimes it’s hard to ask for help…We sometimes try to keep our struggles stuffed deep inside but often that doesn’t work so well. Stephen Ministers can help! If you are going through a difficult time, a Stephen Minister can bring God’s warm

love back into your life through their one-on-one confidential care.
