What Is Our Why?
Enjoy a new weekly feature where we get see how God is at work in the Children's Ministry Board.
Nancy Tucker serves as one of the Children's Ministry Board's two Library Coordinators, and she has been member of BSUMC since 1991.

I am always excited to share the love of God through stories. I love reading books and singing songs with the children of Buncombe Street. Stories and songs are a valuable opportunity for children to experience a connection to how God works in their lives. Book buddies, a program where older children read books to younger children during the Sunday school hour is so rewarding for everyone involved. I always enjoy selecting a variety of books for all ages to enjoy!
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!
