TextMinistry

Have you heard about the latest way that God is reaching hearts at BUMC? If you've been in services the past couple of weeks, you've heard Pastor Ken talk about how you can receive a daily scripture sent to you via text message if you choose to opt-in. This newest ministry started humbly enough after Shereen Fink was moved to reach out to her niece by texting her a daily scripture just to let her know she was thinking of her. Her niece in turn began forwarding the texts to co-workers. Once Ken got wind of Shereen's ministry he asked if he could open it up to the congregation, and we have already been overwhelmed and humbled by the feedback from people who say, "This is just what I needed today. Thank you!"

If you'd like to opt-in to receive these scriptures via text or e-mail, submit your info via the BUMC website and put "Opt-in" in the Comments section. You can also follow Shereen on Twitter if you prefer.
