What Is Our Why?
Enjoy a new weekly feature where we get see how God is at work in the Children's Ministry Board.
Erin Knight serves as the 5th Grade Coordinator and has been a BSUMC member for 14 years.

I've had so many meaningful experiences in Children's Ministry at BSUMC, and found that service has been so fulfilling, that for years I pursued a career in Children's Ministry before returning here to our church home.  The most meaningful experiences were all as a volunteer in the Sprouts program. Watching children evolve as disciples and servants of Christ is profound. Very few churches offer children that kind of risk-taking mission and service opportunity to actually go out in our community and meet people experiencing homelessness, and to be taught the way to serve others with humility, grace, and love. I was humbled by it weekly, and was blessed by my role as a leader.
SAVE THE DATES!
The CROP Hunger Walk is an annual tradition for the Sprouts. This year, Children's Ministry will join with Missions & Outreach to form one strong BSUMC team!
This year, ALL CHILDREN are encouraged to raise awareness and money to stop world hunger.

Click the picture above today to register for the March 21, 2021, walk.
Our churchwide goal is $10,000!
