​We Met the Goal!
Thanks to your generosity, we raised the needed $1600 for two washer/dryer sets for the Columbus Group Home of The Methodist Home for Children and Youth! Your gifts are a blessing to the children and youth to whom we minister through the work of The Home! Thank you!

​ Mission Emphasis for September:
The Methodist Children’s Home
 
         
Our three-pronged approach this year for The Methodist Home mission outreach is:

• During the remainder of this month we will have a drive to replace the clothes washers and dryers at the Columbus Group Home. They needs two sets of washers and dryers, each set costing $800.  Please contribute and make your check payable to BFUMC and mark for “washers/dryers.”
• This Sunday, September 16, 2018, we will have a “Mission Café” before the 9:00 a.m. service (in the lobby of the J.O. Smith Building) and before Sunday School (in the Sunday School Building). Enjoy some breakfast goodies and make a contribution that will supplement our giving for the washers and dryers.
• Also on Sunday, we will receive the annual special offering for The Methodist Home. This offering is our regular donation, in addition to the washer/dryer drive.

 
The children and youth of The Methodist Children’s Home are “our children, because The Home is our Home.”
 
          Let’s take care of our children!

Annual Spaghetti Lunch

Thank you to all who helped with the 22nd Annual Spaghetti Lunch (March 4, 2018). Together, we were able to support the mission of The Methodist Home for Children and Youth. There are too many dedicated servants to name individually, but we are especially thankful to the kitchen crew! 
 
Thank you to every person who purchased a ticket!

2018 Methodist Children's Home Mission
Our church has a BIG heart for missions and The Methodist Home (TMH) needs our help! To show our love for all God's children, we will be collecting the following items to be delivered to the main campus in Macon in early March:

• towel sets (bath, hand, and washcloth)
• twin-size sheet sets
• twin size comforters
• standard pillows
• twin-size mattress pads/covers

 
Thank you to all those who donated linens. They were delivered to a very thankful Methodist Home staff on Monday, March 5.   Thank you for expressing the love of Christ to these precious children through your gifts.
