As we celebrate Earth Day this month we are making plans to significantly reduce the number of Styrofoam cups used at the church. On April 11th, we will begin using donated mugs for coffee and tea on Sunday mornings. Help us build our mug collection by participating in our “bring a mug—get a mug” initiative. Trade in a gently used mug in exchange for a BUMC travel mug. If you donate two or more mugs, your family will receive two BUMC travel mugs. There is no limit on the number of old mugs that you can bring in.
We are looking for coffee mugs of the 12 ounce size or larger with a larger handle. The mugs can have writing or advertising and should be in good overall condition with no cracks or chips.
We are working on an “honor system”. On Sundays, look for the coffee mug cart near the coffee. During the week, place your donated mugs on the cart located on the stage in Fellowship Hall. When you drop off a mug, take your BUMC travel mug which will be located in the same area. (Limit 2 per family, please.)
Beginning April 11th, we will make these mugs available for anyone to use during fellowship. After you’ve had your coffee, return your mug to the cart for washing. Together, we’ll reduce waste, become better stewards of our resources, and enjoy some fellowship and coffee!
