Flower Cross: Help us decorate BUMC’s Easter Cross on Easter Sunday! This year, we’ll continue the tradition of having a cross in the front circle ready to be beautified by the congregation with fresh flowers. Please bring a bloom or two with you to Easter Sunday worship and add it to the cross as you enter church. The cross will be a beautiful spot for Easter photos (tag us @burkeumc on social media).
Easter Flower Dedications can be made through March 29. $15/Dedication. Flowers can be picked up after the 11 am service or donated. Pick up an envelope after worship at the Connection Center or in the church office.

Stained Glass Stations of the Cross
Our "Stained Glass" Stations of the Cross return again! Each year, we paint 12 of the windows at the front of the church, to reflect the traditional scenes of Jesus's walk through Jerusalem to his crucifixion. Individuals, families or small groups can sign up on the sign up genius to claim their window. Kids are welcome to participate, with the guidance of trusted adults. The painting period will begin March 20 and end March 28. Those who sign up will receive an email from Rev Ev with more details about when/how to paint, safety instructions, and other details. Painting materials will be provided. The windows will remain painted throughout Holy Week, until the week after Easter. This is a great opportunity to use your creative and artistic gifts, and share BUMC's vibrant love of Christ through an interactive project!
