BACK TO SCHOOL "TEA & TISSUES"
     
 
ACAP opened its doors for the new school year on Monday, Aug. 28. For some children, coming back and getting started was easy. But for some other children, and parents, it was a new (and emotional) experience. We set up "Tears & Tissues" in our Events Center (thanks Kylee for the wonderful idea) and were able to greet our preschool families and serve as hosts - sharing love, tissues, refreshments, and words of comfort and encouragement. Our sanctuary also was available for those needing a few moments to themselves. We are blessed to be a blessing!
This Sunday's “NOISY OFFERING” will go to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. If you or your work associates would like to contribute more through the UMC relief agencies (where 100% of funds donated go the relief — O% to administrative costs), please donate by mail to:
Advance GCFA
P.O. Box 9068, New York, NY 10087-9068.
Please note in the memo line: Advance 901670
GEMS!
October sounds like a good time for another GEMS! (Greet, Eat, Meet — Sweet!) Dinner Party. If you can host a group in your home or in BUMC’s Events Center, please let Anita know.
Other dates are welcome too, if that suits better.
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN (UMW) will meet next Sunday, Sept. 10 at 12:15pm in the Events Center (bring your own lunch). Janet Dektor will present “Pledge to Mission Service.” Those who attend, please consider prayerfully what pledge you will make for 2018. We hope to see you there!
We are a church of small groups (for discipleship and service in the community) with more groups forming across the year. Talk with Anita to help you start a new group or find an existing one that works for you.
MOVIES AND MORE—SEPTEMBER EVENTS
Anita is out of town the week preceding our Movies and More weekend, so please sign up by THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 3 if you are interested in going to any of these three events. This will enable us to gather and enjoy the events together:

After the church council meeting, we have a family outing to see a re-release of E.T. at 2pm, Carolina Cinemark. Plan to share this classic with your family or enjoy it yourself! To ensure we can see the movie, advanced ticket sales are recommended.
