CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING Sunday, Nov. 19 at 12:15pm in the Events Center.
Core reps are also encouraged to attend.
FREE SUPERCONCERT SUNDAY, NOV. 19 - CHUCK TAFT DIRECTING
Our own Chuck Taft will direct The Reuter Center Singers, joined with the Givens Estates Vesper Choir along with the Biltmore United Methodist Church Choir, to sing songs spanning four centuries. The combined effort of over 120 singers will be accompanied by brass, cello, flute, percussion, piano and pipe organ. The event will be held at First Presbyterian Church @ 3pm. The event is free (donations welcome) and open to the public, with a reception to follow.
OFFICE CLOSED on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 23-24 in celebration of Thanksgiving.
HOLIDAY MESSAGE SERIES begins Nov. 26. We’ll celebrate by kicking off the season with our Hanging of the Greens during both services. After a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, you’re sure to have extra sweets, like pies, cakes, and cookies, around the house. Bring them with you next Sunday and we’ll share desserts while decorating our worship spaces during our worship services. In addition, you are encouraged to bring a thermos of Wassail, delicious hot spiced cider, to share. Don’t forget to “Dress to Un-Stress” each Sunday through Christmas (pick up flyer for details or see attached list below).
STAY INFORMED! We have lots of activities planned for November and December and we want to help you keep up-to-date on activities and events happening here at B'More! Attached is a list for your reference. We’ll continue to share more information in our weekly eNews, social media, and our website.
LET IT BE, CHRISTMAS opening night is Wednesday, Dec. 29 at B’More. Show starts at 7:30pm. This is a great evangelism opportunity. All proceeds go to Eliada Home.
HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR PEEPS?
BUMC’s Small Groups can help
Who are your peeps? Would you recognize them right away? Small groups enable us to
find support, encouragement, and accountability with a set of like-minded folk. We may
match up with each other on many levels, we may discover surprising commonalities, or
we may develop deep trust despite our differences. What we always find is God’s Spirit,
dwelling within us all, reaching out to enrich each other’s lives. If you haven’t found a
group yet, please visit some of the ones we have going. We are also looking to form at
least one new group before the end of the year. Do you have an idea for that one?
Check out the groups here or let Anita know of your interest:
(828)216-6591 or email ageasayles@gmail.com
CHRISTMAS IS COMING!?!
We probably all prefer to enjoy each special occasion as it comes, but this year we need to plan a little Christmas now, even before Thanksgiving (so sorry!). SART is performing Sander’s Family Christmas, part 2 of the Smoke on the Mountain Trilogy.
Performances will run 2 weeks, Dec. 14-23. Thursday- Saturday at 7:30pm, and matinees on both Saturdays and Sunday at 2:30pm. Tickets are $25 (with taxes and fee), and $20 for groups of 10 or more (with taxes and fee). We are hoping to go as a group to the only Sunday matinee, which is on Dec. 17, at 2:30pm. (Gerry and Margaret are driving the van for us!) Tickets are on sale already and are going quickly for this first weekend. If we are going to buy group tickets, Anita needs to hear from you now. Of course, we can all choose our own time to go and purchase our tickets at www.sartplays.org. Hopefully, though, we can enjoy the play together on Dec. 17. Please let Anita know if you are interested, so a group rate can be reserved. Merry Thanksoweenmas!
NEED PRAYER?
Please send all prayer requests to Barb Korb at barbarakorb@yahoo.com.
We are here to pray for you!
BILTMOREUMC'S PRAYER TEAM assembles every Tuesday at noon to pray for the needs of our church and our community. We meet in the Prayer Room upstairs (right beside the elevator on Level 3), and we end by 12:30pm.
LET IT BE, CHRISTMAS - HELP NEEDED
Yes, it is that time of the year – time to prepare for the season we celebrate the birth of Christ. You will clap, laugh, sing-a-long, and join in a hushed silence as the awe of the Nativity is presented in a most unexpected way. There are many opportunities for you to volunteer your time to help make this powerful service available for many to see.
- The cast and crew will have a Tech and Dress Rehearsal (Sunday, Nov. 26) – it will be a long afternoon/evening as final “tweaks” are done to make this service its very best. With that said, we need to feed this hard-working crew! Snacks, drinks, dinner will be greatly appreciated and much-needed!
- A reception will be held immediately following the first service on Wednesday, Nov. 29 in our Events Center. We need volunteers willing to coordinate, set-up, line up food for this event.
- We need a team of people to be responsible for set-up and tear-down of the set as we move from one location to another. Whether you are available for each time or one evening – your help welcome and appreciated!
