Thank You
THANK YOU for all your prayers, cards and visits as you expressed your sympathies and concerns in the death of our daughter, Jody. You will never know how much it meant to Marjorie and me during this time of need to hear from our friends. We especially appreciated the work and love that was expressed in the two prayer shawls. God bless each and every one.

Free Family Movie Night at BUMC
The Methodist Men have another movie for you to attend free of charge! Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 3rd, at 4:00 p.m. in the Family Life Center and come enjoy Robert Duvall in the leading role of “Seven Days in Utopia”. If you enjoy sporting events, you will see the wisdom in this film. Cold lemonade, water and tea will be available; however, we haven’t had a popcorn pledge yet so bring your own snacks. It might be a good idea to bring a flashlight along in case you need to move around during the film. Invite relatives, neighbors, friends & visitors, too, because all are welcome! P.S. The film we watched last time, “Courageous” is available to check out from our church library at no charge. See U at the movies!
