SHARI�G GOD’S LOVE<br />
This section is devoted to sharing examples of our congregation acting on our mission of “Sharing<br />
God’s Love with Coffey County and the World.” If you want to recognize someone for sharing God’s love<br />
with you or others, please email the church office at lmasters@umcburlington.org for its possible inclusion in<br />
the newsletter. The deadline for submitting newsletter information is the twentieth of each month.<br />
Please see the article on page 7 for examples of BUMC’s intentional serving and sharing God’s<br />
love. Thank you to all who participated in these programs! Your activities made a difference in people’s<br />
Christmas experience. Christi Norman initiated the Advent “Giving Christmas Away” activities.<br />
Thank you!<br />
Thank you to Sheree Damashek for faithfully watering the poinsettias throughout the Christmas<br />
season, and to all who donated/dedicated poinsettias, too! There were 47 dedications this year.<br />
Thank you to Devanee Williams for sharing her beautiful harp music for the Christmas Eve<br />
services, and to Caitlin Buss for her Christmas Eve vocal solo.<br />
So many people helped with the children’s Christmas program and preparations. Thank you to<br />
those who organized and led it, and to those who supported it with Sunday lunches and help with<br />
costumes, etc. Thank you to Verla Bartholomew and Susan Croll for providing the dinner following<br />
the program.<br />
Whitney Croll lead the children’s bell choir before Christmas. We appreciate Whitney’s leadership<br />
and also the children’s/parents’ participation. Their sweet music added to the children’s program<br />
worship.<br />
Many committee positions have changed. Thank you to those who have served, and thank you<br />
to those who are serving. There is a time, place, and season for each person to use their gifts and talents.<br />
We appreciate the ministry of our church family inside and outside worship. If you are looking<br />
for a way to use your talent or have ideas to implement, please contact the church office or Pastor<br />
Pat. Together we are a church family.<br />
