What Is Our Why?
Enjoy a new weekly feature where we get see how God is at work in the Children's Ministry Board.
Sara Cornish serves as one of the Children's Ministry Board's VBS Coordinators, and she has been member of BSUMC since 2011.

This picture is from when Clairy received her 3rd grade Bible, a day that filled my heart with so much joy as this was big step in Clairy’s journey with God. Being a part of my children’s’ journey to grow closer to God is why I am so involved in Children’s ministry. It allows me to have a front row seat on their journeys! I have been teaching Sunday school for their class since the 3K class, served as a member-at-large on the Children’s Ministry Board for several years, and now serve as VBS co-chair. Children are influential at such a young age; so teaching them about God’s love helps them to build a strong faith from an early age! One of my favorite children’s Bible stories is Daniel in the Lion’s Den because this story teaches us of God’s promise of faithfulness, even when feel like we are lost.
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 to register for the March 21, 2021, walk.
Our churchwide goal is $10,000!

Need help thanking those who help you stop world hunger & poverty? Try thanking those who donate with a treat dropped off at their porch or use this printable Thank You note & mail it to your contributors.
