Upcoming Events
Please note that links for all zoom events can be found on the church website calendar.

Parents, for easy reference to Sunday School links and times/days, we invite you to bookmark this page.

Sunday School
We had a great turn out for our first gatherings! It was such a blessing to be together. We'll see you again soon!
  • Oct. 11 (all grades)
  • Oct. 25 (all grades)
It will continue on 2nd & 4th Sundays for all grades in October.
Note the new day (Sunday) & time (3:30 pm) for 3rd & 4th grades. 

We know that even a few minutes on Zoom is a lot, and so we ask that you give it a chance and join us for as long as you can for each gathering to keep up good spiritual habits.

Zoom Links
Zoom links for all classes can be found on the church website calendar.
October 11 starts in-person worship with Downtown Traditional worship at 9am, and Trinity and the Table at 11am.
There is a potential conflict 2x/month with the 9am Traditional worship service and our 4K, 5K, 1st, & 2nd grade Sunday School Zoom class that is also at 9am. Please note that there is not a conflict for the 11am Table service or the 11am Traditional service at Trinity. 
As we consider moving the 9 am class to 1pm to prevent any conflicts for our church families, we would like to hear from you first.
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 to create a community of care. Please complete as soon as possible.

If you missed out on registering for or picking up any materials, please contact Children's Ministry to find out how you can still participate.
Weekend Backpack Food 2020-2021

In order to feed the children at Thomas E. Kerns Elementary on the weekends for 2020-2021, we will now be collecting grocery store gift cards in the amounts of $10-$25. During the pandemic, as well as for crisis situations, these gift cards are the safest & best way to address the food shortage that the children experience. The gift cards are distributed by a Social Worker who is trained in identifying true need, crisis management, and creating accountability in making sure the gift cards are used appropriately. If you previously purchased weekend backpack food for these children, we encourage you now to embrace this new way to feed and care for these students. 
You can mail them in or drop them by the office Tuesday-Friday, 9-1. Contact ChildrensMinistry@bsumc.com with questions.
Current stores: Aldi & Walmart
We are so excited for our campus-wide, all-ages sermon series that starts October 25th. Click here for special opportunities for children to participate.
