Painting Day @ Boulevard UMC
Saturday, November 6, 9 am - 1 pm
(Coffee and bagels at 8:30 am)

“Let’s start rebuilding!” they said, and they eagerly began the work. (Nehemiah 2:18b)

At Boulevard UMC, we have purchased a new building at 910 S Harrison St for ministry in the city of Richmond. We humbly ask for your help to make it a home. Kindred in Christ, will you join us in the effort? Could you bring a team from your church? Together, we can get so much done in just a few hours on an autumn Saturday. We need wall painters, water providers, spiritual supporters...and hot dog grillers to prepare lunch on the lawn! For any questions--and to RSVP with the number of people you plan to bring--please send an email to me at drewwillson@vaumc.org by Sunday, October 31.
