“To
Lift Our Voices In Praise”
The Bible is full of passages that reflect lifting
praises to God in heart, soul, and voice. In today’s language vernacular
we often hear or say, “Are you feeling it?” If you feel praise for God,
how do you express it? Many people tell me that they “can’t carry a tune
in a bucket.” Well you don’t have to be the greatest singer in the
world. The Bible asks us to lift our voices in praise to God. Sunday we
will celebrate a great day of United Methodist singing. We will see how
hymns carry a powerful heartfelt message.
We will look at John Wesley’s Directions for Singing. These are almost
humorous by today’s standards. Come and take part in a different worship
experience. We will sing and listen as we experience the presence of God
with one another. Come and be a blessing.
In Christ,
UMW

A Word From The Library
We are grateful to all those who donate books to the library but
sometimes we can’t tell if they are donated or just left in the library by
mistake.
So, if you are giving books to the library, please either tell
Judy about it or leave a note with or inside the books. We are hesitant to check
books into the library unless we are sure that is the owner’s intention.
Four books were left recently:
1. It’s Fun at Grandmother’s House
2. Together with God - A Journey Through Grief
3. Decider
4. Miss Tizzy
Please call the church office or leave a note with them in the library.
Thank you again.

A Big Thank You
Ralph
and I would like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, donations,
and support for our mission trip to Estonia. We specifically thank Square One
for the bake sale, the children and supportive parents of VBS for their
collection of dollars and pennies, and the church Administrative Board and the
Council for their endorsement. You are a generous congregation. We hope to
accomplish many things with help from the hand of God.
We will give your regards to the members of the Reekyla Methodist Church, who
are our brothers in Christ. Please keep praying for our mission.
Blessings to all of you,
Gerri & Ralph Bradley

News From Parents Day Out
Our Parents Day Out program is gearing up for the
fall. We will begin the fall session on July 30 and will enroll many new
students into the program, which means there is a possibility that new
families will discover BUMC also. Our annual family picnic will be on
Thursday, August 30, at 6:00 p.m. at Springbrook Park. We will gather
around the playground on picnic blankets for food, fun, and fellowship.
Bring your picnic and blanket and come join us. We will also have our
annual game of sticker tag.
During the month of September we will be asking our families for
donations of paper plates and plastic spoons to help our program.
Drop by and see what we are up to!
