APRIL FAMILY FAITH ACTIVITIES
We have studied remembering some of our favorite Bible stories, and now it is time to study sharing these messages through our actions in the month of April.
BUMC SERMON PODCASTS
Did you know you can listen to our sermons anywhere you listen to podcasts? Search "Brentwood United Methodist Church" and listen to your favorite sermons from over the years. Great for parents on the go!
TEACHING KIDS TO PRAY
This post by author Sarah Flannery points out what we can learn from children's uninhibited, trusting approach to prayer, and how we can foster and encourage this connection with God.

RESILIENCY & HOPE *THIS WEEK*
Take a look at these monthly conversations between our BUMC Counseling Center therapists. These live events occur every second Thursday at 7:30 PM.
HELPFUL ACCOUNTS
- A great Instagram post by @benstuart that talks about how we are to handle disagreements as Christ followers (with helpful scriptures).
- The Instagram account @drbeckyathome is, in OUR opinion, one of the best resources out there for talking to children through difficult times and big feelings.
- Don't have the words to pray? Try these. @liturgiesforparents
