CLUB YOUTH
The Middle School students will begin a book study of Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis on Wed. April 16th. We will “read” the book together on Wed. nights and explore the Christian symbolism Lewis so expertly employs to make these stories exciting and meaningful. All 5th through 8th graders are invited to bring a friend and join us! Meet us at 6:30 p.m. at the Adams House. Parents pick up at 7:30 p.m. This study will last several weeks, then we will make plans to see the movie together in May.

Help the youth of BFUMC keep the earth clean by recycling those aluminum cans and your Sunday bulletins. Use the recycling bins at the exits for your bulletins, and the can marked recycling by the coke machine for your cans and 2 liter bottles. The youth will be taking these to a recycling center. Thanks for helping!
