Food Pantry Update

Claudia Genuardi


The Food Pantry has taken a big jump forward since we began. I want to offer my gratitude to all of the volunteers that are making it work so well. Many hours each week are going into this project which is serving our community.  Thank you to Carol Nelson, Veronica Mosely, Nancy Atchison, Patty Littlewood, Carol Williams, Jeff Barger, Marge Smink, Jeff Barger, Peggy Robinson, Susan and Vic Burriss and Pastor Kevin Rutledge. You have all lent a hand.

On December 20th, T/E Middle School teachers arrived at BUMC to deliver some 1500 food items for our Food Pantry.  The food was collected during a school-wide food drive that benefited two local food pantries, including ours. Many thanks to the students, teachers, staff, parents and others who contributed their time and resources to provide this gift in support of our mission to serve our community.

Living With Purpose: Beyond Fleeting Happiness

Published: July 16, 2024

In a culture that often prioritizes instant gratification and personal happiness, we are challenged to seek a deeper, more purposeful way of living. Our society's focus on immediate pleasure, even within religious circles through the "prosperity gospel," overlooks the true, lasting fulfillment found in aligning with God's will. The story of Lazarus illustrates this principle, demonstrating that temporary delays can reveal greater purposes. As a church community, we are called to make Christ known by prioritizing service, building genuine relationships, and sharing hope. Embracing this purposeful approach leads to deeper satisfaction and a lasting impact.
