All Saints Sunday is November 2. In the Methodist tradition, All Saints Day is related to giving God earnest gratitude for the lives and deaths of His saints. Perhaps you were taught to think of saints as statues in a church building, but God calls a “saint” anyone who trusts in Christ alone for his salvation.
All Saints Day is an opportunity to “Remember Our Saints” who have gone before us in the faith. If you feel led to make a monetary donation to our church’s general fund in memory or honor of someone you love, there will be envelopes available in the sanctuary this Sunday with a line for your name and a line for your loved one's name. The names of these loved ones will be listed in our Sunday morning bulletins over the next several weeks.
IMPORTANT! New Online Giving Provider
The BUMC Finance Team is pleased to announce the transition to a new online giving provider. The new provider is called Servant Keeper, and it seamlessly integrates with the software the church currently uses to maintain membership and donation records.
Here are a few steps to make this switch easier for everyone who wishes to start or continue online giving.
This is the link to the new Servant Keeper online giving system https://giving.servantkeeper.com/bereaumc/2779.
The old system (Vanco) will be in place until November 30, 2025. After that date, all recurring gifts that have been set up in the old system will be discontinued.
Everyone who wishes to continue their recurring gifts will be asked to set them up in the Servant Keeper system.
If you would like to set up or to continue a recurring gift during stewardship season, please use the link above and set your gift to start Dec. 1, 2025. (All November recurring donations will come out of the old system, and new recurring payments will need to be set up in the Servant Keeper system beginning in December.)
If you have questions, would like help or would like to set up an appointment to meet in-person to set up your online gift, please contact the church office 859-986-3485 or send an email to finance@bereaumc.org.
