New Attendance Pads Have you noticed the change in our attendance pad sheets? You now have an option to subscribe to our weekly Online Newsletter as well as to the Pastoral e-Note. And if you want to be con-tacted by one of our ministries, just check one of the ministry boxes. Visitors – please give us your contact information so we can stay in touch with you. Members – there’s no need for you to complete the contact information unless you’ve had a change or want to add new information.
More People = More Cars!And that’s a good thing – but to make parking and traffic between services run more smoothly, we need additional parking volunteers to direct traffic flow, show visitors where to park, encourage people to take the Synergy lot shuttle, etc. Contact [email protected] if you’d like to join our Parking Lot Team. And speaking of the shuttle … Instead of sitting in the BUMC lot waiting for a parking space to open up, consider parking across the street in the Synergy lot and taking the shuttle!
