United Methodist Women Reach Out to Bless the World
Offering As a gift of gratitude for God's abundance our BUMC congregation contributed almost $500 for the World Thank Offering. The funds collected are used in the total program of mission in the United States and around the world carried out through the United Methodist Women's national office. A display of fabrics from many countries and candles we lit provided us the chance to remember the needs of others throughout the world and imagine Christ's light reaching everyone.

In the spirit of Advent
Connexion Members of several Western Main Line ConneXion UMW units and other guests joined us at BUMC during Advent to prepare birthing kits. Twenty-one women joined hands and hearts to make 60 kits. These will be sent via Mission Central to UMCOR for use throughout the world. Birthing kits provide the essential items to promote a safe, clean delivery and to encourage good aftercare. As we worked we thought of the connection between those young, poor women who will receive the kits and Mary, mother of Jesus. She also was a poor teenage pregnant girl who gave birth in a not-so-clean place. Connexion
