Upcoming Events

We've got lots of NEW & exciting opportunities throughout August -- more coming each week -- all culminating in the launch of our NEW fall Sunday School platform.

**Note that the Back-to-school Photo Shoot is on Aug. 13 & 22. Plan to sign up now.




  • A drive-thru pick up for all items, including Sunday School journals/booklets (K2-2nd grade & Trinity) will be the week of August 24. Dates & times coming soon.
Safe Sanctuary

It's that time, volunteers:
Annual Safe Sanctuary Training.
Who needs training?
Anyone who volunteers as a coordinator, teacher or substitute or is interested in creating a safe sanctuary at BSUMC. It's required for all volunteers (even for zoom) & recommended for all members. Please complete by September 6, 2020.

Our first Photo Shoot day is this week! (August 13) Sign up today. We want to see all of our kids in the Promotion Sunday slideshow.
Epworth Children’s Home suffered a fire in early June 2020. For our Back-to-School service project in Children’s Ministry, we are asking our families to help raise funds for the recovery efforts in a unique way. We are asking each family to donate $15.00 through Realm by clicking here. You'll also be sent a Sign Up Genius link to choose a time slot on on either Aug.13th or Aug.22, for a Back-to-School Photo-shoot in Orders Garden at the Downtown Campus. 

Children’s Ministry will receive a copy of the photo of each child holding their own back-to-school sign (we will provide) that says what grade of Sunday School they are being promoted to. We will use these pictures for a special slideshow on Promotion Sunday, Aug. 30th.*

If you would like a copy of the photo or if you would like additional photos of your family at the time of your photo shoot, you will have the opportunity to do so by purchasing digital copies directly from the photographer, who will send you proofs. 

Photo Shoot Details for Virus-Safety:
  • Appointments take 5-10 minutes and are scheduled 20 minutes apart.
  • Your child will be given their own promotion sign to keep. They will not be reused.
  • Your child can remove his/her mask only while being photographed.

*If you have a conflict with attending the photo shoot, we are also accepting self-submitted photos at childrensministry@bsumc.com.
Are you a rising 4th grader?

We sent you an important email in Realm recently for a special project -- just for you! Contact us at Childrensminstry@bsumc.com if you need more information or did not receive the email.
Sunday Evenings, 5-6 pm

This Sunday our rising 6th graders will be - Set Apart - for service!

Project Host soup kitchen needs desserts and cards donated to fill their bagged lunches for the hungry in Greenville. This week we'll have "Iron Chef: Service Edition."

That's right, your kids will cook live on our Zoom call, and we hope you'll help them deliver what they make to Project Host!

See you Sunday at 5!
Sprouts is a unique covenant discipleship program that requires in-person, close-contact, weekly commitments. Due to its nature, we are sad that Sprouts will not be able to resume this fall. We will announce plans for Sprouts in January 2021.
