 Instead of a food pantry item this month we are doing a…

 Sunday School Christmas Food Drive Competition! 

It’s time for our 1st annual Christmas Food Drive Competition! From December 1–31, you can support the class of your choice and help families in need this season.

Participating Classes:

•    Young at Heart – our older adult Sunday school class

•    YAMs – Young Adult Ministry

•    BUMC Kids/Youth

How to Participate:

1.    Choose the Sunday school class you’d like to support.

2.    Bring your donated food items to the Fellowship Hall.

3.    Place them on the table in the designated class area.

4.    Each item earns points for that class       and some items are worth more than others!  

•    A points chart will be posted in the Fellowship Hall each week.

5.    Points will be tallied weekly, and we’ll keep a running scoreboard.
