Don’t forget your committee or group meetings. Many hands make light work… and working together with a common purpose can be fun and rewarding.

Your Pastoral Relations Committee and Deacons are working hard behind the scenes for the transition from Rev Andrew to what comes next. Please keep them in your prayers.

Some church leaders help in many different areas of church life; will you consider volunteering for Fellowship Host, Sunday Flowers, Greeter, or Usher? Get in touch with Mary Kay Haines.

Autumn is always busy at BUCC. Plan for those things you most enjoy or want to remember to do so that you don’t miss out. No matter who you are, or where you are on your life’s journey, you are welcome here.



Blessings,

Rev Andrew
