Whether you’re young or old, there’s one thing we all have in common and that is that every single year each one of us has a birthday. And when you think about it what better day than your birthday to think about others, about people less fortunate and donate to the BMS (Baptist Missionary Society) World Mission Birthday Scheme.
But what is the Birthday Scheme, how does it work and who benefits? Well to be honest it’s really very simple…
On a day when we have so much to celebrate, Birthday Scheme members choose to make a donation to help others in need. Your Birthday Scheme Co-ordinator, in our case that’s Roger Robson helps you do this by sending you a birthday card along with a birthday message from BMS. Inside the card you’ll find a bulletin sharing just some of the projects your money will go towards, and a gift envelope to make their donation. You then give the gift envelope back to Roger, who will send it on to BMS.
This really is a wonderful scheme, and one which has been running here at MBC for more years than many of us can remember.
