Thank you for your immediate support for our #beumc fundraising goal.  Our finance team has set a goal to raise $100,000 through second mile giving by August 31. Meeting this goal will help enable us to share our tithes with the Arkansas Conference without drawing on our line of credit in the process. To read Pastor Jennie's letter, click here.
