MAKE A DONATION
If you are looking for another way to help our friends in Southwest Louisiana, you can make a donation to our Disaster Relief Fund.

You can donate online by clicking on the button below. Be sure to choose "Disaster Prepare/Response" in the Fund drop down menu.

You can also mail a check to the church at 10230 Mollylea Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70815. Please make the check payable to "BUMC" and write "Disaster Relief Fund" in the memo section of your check.
We're excited to announce that IN-PERSON WORSHIP is starting again! Please join us for Contemporary Worship at 11:00 a.m. beginning Sunday, September 13 in the Casual Worship Center. Make your plans now & start inviting your friends! Registration is not required.

News on in-person worship in the Sanctuary is coming soon. Due to the smoke damage from the devastating fire in April, we're waiting on final confirmation from a hygienist that it's safe for large numbers of people to gather again in the Sanctuary. Your health and safety are our top priority. In the meantime, you can still enjoy a Traditional worship experience online. See below for details!
Please join us Sunday ONLINE at 9:00 a.m. for our Traditional worship service and at 10:00 a.m. for our Contemporary worship service. The Traditional service is broadcast from the Sanctuary now. You don't want to miss it!

Don't forget to set your alarm to worship online Sundays at 9:00 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. any of the following ways... www.broadmoormethodist.org, on Facebook, or on YouTube.

And, don't worry if you're busy at those times.

Church Staff Update
We are sad to announce that due to the the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on giving, combined with the inability to hold our usual full slate of in-person activities, difficult decisions have been made affecting several employees. We regret to inform you that our receptionist Beth Fox, Family Ministries pastor Brad Waggoner, and long-time custodian Jerri Lee have been let go.
 
Beth's and Jerri's duties will be picked up by existing employees. Likewise, Ellen Starkey and Montero Minor will continue working with Family Ministries under Rev. Kennon Pickett's direction. They will create opportunities for online engagement with our children and youth until they can again meet in-person.
 
We are extremely grateful for the dedication and hard work that Beth, Brad, and Jerri brought to our team over the years. We hope you will join the pastors and staff in honoring their service to our congregation with a Love Offering. 

Click on the button below to give or mail a check to the church. When giving online, choose the person you want to honor in the Fund drop down menu. You can give to all three by clicking on "+ Another Fund" and choosing the next person you want to give to. If you write a check, be sure to include "Love Offering" and the person's name on the memo line.
God's Work Never Stops
Although we're not meeting face-to-face right now, God is still working through the church and you. Because of your generosity, we're able to carry on the work of the Congregational Care team, feed hungry people at Red Stick Together, and provide weekly online worship experiences. If you are able, please continue to support the mission and ministries of Broadmoor United Methodist through your gifts. You can give safely and securely online HERE or via text by texting BMOOR to 73256 and following the prompts. Thank you for your generosity!
