SUNDAY WORSHIP

We are staying connected as one church family during this unique Lenten Season. Buncombe Street UMC is now following the Center for Disease Controls’s recommendations to avoid gatherings for the next few weeks. For now, everyone is encouraged to “Worship Where You Are.” Services are available beginning at midnight the Saturday prior. You can access the services through this website from the main menu by selecting “Sermons,” “Worship Where You Are.” You can also find services on BSUMC’s Youtube Channel.
Watch Now
What’s New:
We will be using many digital means to stay in touch. Firstly, we will be streaming combined worship services on Youtube at 11:00 AM Sunday mornings. Secondly, clergy will send short video devotions by email Monday-Friday. These will be in addition to the 2020 Lenten Devotion. The Children’s and Youth Ministries will also be sharing worship tools appropriate for our younger members. And, stay tuned to our social media channels for even more ways to do church together.
