Back 40 and Disc Golf Course News:
• Disc Golf Course Usage: Although it is impossible to determine exactly
how many people use the disc golf course, there is a phone app called
UDisc which many players use to keep track of their scores, whether in a

UDisc while playing at Johnson's disc golf course

WHAT IS BACM?
You may have seen BACM on 2nd Mile offerings and BAGS of
LOVE collections, but do you know what BACM is?
BACM stands for Barberton Area Community Ministries.
Their Mission is to extend household resources in communities though
programs targeting food insecurities and basic needs. With donations,
fundraisers and many volunteers, they stock a drive thru food pantry
that distributes food to residents of Barberton, Norton, New Franklin,
Doylestown & Clinton.
Call their office to for eligibility and other information.
They are located at 939 Norton Ave, Barberton Ohio.

Helpful Information
We have in person and streamed services on Sundays at 10:00 am.
During the service, Childcare is available for your infant and toddlers. We also
have Sunday School for pre-school and elementary children. Jr High and High
Schoolers meet on Wednesday nights.
WHAT IS UMCOR
As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist
Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief - UMCOR - assists United
Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need.
UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters -
famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events- to alleviate suffering and serve as a
source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term
recovery grants when events overwhelm a community's ability to recover on their own.
UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and
ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
WHAT IS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Habitat for Humanity partners with people in your community and all over the world,
to help them build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help
build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. With our
support, Habitat home owners achieve the strength, stability and independence they
need to build a better life for themselves and their families.
