Congregational Care & Family Ministries

(updated 3-27-24)   Easter Sunday is only the beginning of a season of Resurrection and new life! The season spans 50 days and will end with our Pentecost Celebration on Sunday, May 19. Here are just a few ideas how we can live as Easter people of Light and Hope! Find a cause or group to give back to! – There are a lot of different organizations to get involved with, including many dedicated to help improve the lives of children and families. Maybe donate funds or make blankets for Project Linus (projectlinus.org) or Sleep in Heavenly Peace (shpbeds.org), or provide food or funds to the Baldwinsville Food Pantry at BFUMC. Those are just a few opportunities. Clean up the neighborhood around you or a local park – Grab a few garbage bags and maybe a rake and a broom and make a difference in just an hour or two of clean up. Send a card to a neighbor or one of our housebound or nursing home residents – A card from you, or even a call, will brighten up the day of our members who aren’t able to get out. If you need addresses, please see Alice Nykaza of the Cheery Visitors or Pastor Jeff. Pray for our college students and military members. Those are just a few ways we can live into our role as “Easter People”!
