Our 5th graders and 5th grade leaders have worked hard to create a sacred experience for all of Children's Ministry this year.

It wouldn't be a true Bethlehem Breakfast without the breakfast!
We've got you covered!
Use 1 of the 2 group-sized gift cards below to pick up a donut (1/child) to enjoy while watching Bethlehem Breakfast.
The Bethlehem Breakfast 2020 mission is: Prisma Health Children's Hospital.
The 5th graders are so excited to be learning more about how they can meet Prisma Health Children's Hospital's needs & teach us all why this mission area is so important. From now until Jan. 3, we will be collecting the following items:
coloring books, activity books, crayons, markers, and similar items.
Additionally, children are asked to make Thank you - Encouragement cards for hospital/frontline workers in Prisma Health Children's Hospital.
You can bring the items & cards by the church anytime during office hours.
Contact ChildrensMinistry@bsumc.com with questions.
Nursery Re-Opens

We are pleased to offer a nursery for children 4K and under during Worship. The nursery will open at 8:30 for the 9:00 Downtown Traditional service and at 10:30 for the 11:00 Downtown Table service and the 11:00 Trinity Campus service. The nurseries are located in the Multi-Age Room at the Downtown Campus and in the Trinity Nursery Room at the Trinity Campus. Temperatures will be taken at the nursery doors, and the maximum number of children we can care for is 15 per service.
