With great joy and hope for the future, I, Pastor Abby, am excited to announce Reach Beyond: A Worship Annex Refresh! This initiative has been months in the making, born out of prayerful discernment and a desire to help PUMC reach beyond its walls, welcoming those who have yet to experience the love of Christ. Together, we can expand our mission, strengthen outreach, and make our Worship Annex a space that reflects God’s love and hospitality.
The project includes essential updates and exciting improvements. We’ll replace broken windows and 25-year-old carpet, upgrade the outdated electrical panel, and add comfortable seating to create an inviting environment. Plans also feature a permanent prayer wall, art installation tracks, enhanced stage lighting, and more—ensuring a space that serves our congregation and community well.
This vision will cost $65,000, and we’re already halfway there! Thanks to a generous $30,000 lead gift from leftover Transforming for Tomorrow funds, we’re poised for success. To fully realize Reach Beyond, we need your help. If every member contributed $100, we’d reach our goal—but any amount helps bring this vision to life.
This refreshed space will bless the many groups who use it, both within PUMC and beyond, as we pursue the mission and outreach God has planned. Let’s build relationships, extend invitations, and share the Good News that God loves and transforms lives. Thank you for prayerfully considering your role in Reach Beyond. Together, our best days are ahead!
