Bluffton Area Ministerial Association, BAMA, continues its Week of Prayer and Christian Unity programming on Sunday, 25.
In recent years, the BAMA pastors marked the week with an annual pulpit exchange.
“In the exchange, congregations welcome a pastor from another local church to lead worship, demonstrating the importance of strong ecumenical relationships within the body of Christ, the universal Church,” said Rev. Karol Farris Schilling, pastor of Bluffton Presbyterian Church.
Bluffton Community Vacation Bible School’s date is set for 2021.
The host congregation is St. Mary’s Catholic Church and VBS takes place there July 18-22. This year’s theme is Rocky Railway.
Plans are taking a hybrid shape with some in-person gathering in small groups outdoors under tents in some combinations with videos produced by the curriculum creators and viewed at home.
VBS planners are collecting shoeboxes for youth to decorate like train cars, to gather supplies as they move from station to. Station.
