Announcements

The Flower Donation Chart for 2012 is available in the Narthex near the large bulletin board. Please sign up for any Sunday other than Easter. Please include your phone number. You will be contacted regarding price range (usually $45 and up), any specific color requests, and any specific flower requests by Helen Beckwith of Worship and the Arts Ministry Group. The Prairie Baskets of Barrington florist will bill you directly. You may specify your donation in honor, in memory, in celebration or to the glory of God. After the last service of the day, you are welcome to take the arrangement with you.

If you play a string, woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument that would be found in a band or orchestra and aren’t currently playing in our orchestra, please let Karen Maxwell know or sign up on the bulletin board in the Narthex. We have an experienced director willing to work with beginners as well!

Interest has been expressed in a possible “Men’s Bible Study” during the week for those who are not available Saturday morning. If you are interested in exploring a weekday Men’s Bible Study meeting, please advise Brian Kramper or Jim Finn.

Thanks to those who volunteered to help our BUMC USO effort. On Sunday afternoon, January 29, an orientation was held at the O’Hare USO for new volunteers: Brian Kramper, Warren Wegener, Charlene Wilson, Del Haagen and Ernie Stenstrop.

BUMC is currently covering Wednesday afternoons and the 4th Sunday of each month. Our thanks goes out not only to these new volunteers, but to the many other BUMC members who have been volunteering over the past months and years.

New volunteers are always welcome!
