Hog Wild at PUMC!

Mark your calendars, loosen your belts, and prepare to feast—because on Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025, right after our 10:00 a.m. service, PUMC is throwing a good old-fashioned hog roast.

Weather permitting, we’ll set up on the west side drive of the church (translation: outside, where the delicious smoky aroma will have half of Plainfield stopping to see what’s cooking). If it rains, we’ll move things inside—because nothing stops Methodists when there’s food involved.

The PUMC Men’s Group is manning the smokers and serving up pulled pork so tender it practically preaches on its own. Not a fan of pork? No worries. We’ve got hot dogs for the kids and the “pork-averse,” plus all the classic fixings—sides, desserts, lemonade, tea, and water. All you need to bring is your appetite.

But wait, there’s more! Our Youth Group (led by Brandon Denman) and the Growing Young Committee (with Susan Ament and Scout Dunlevy) are cooking up games and activities for all ages. Think sack races, laughter, and maybe—just maybe—a pie-eating contest. (Consider this your chance to practice your “fellowship faceplant” technique.)

So join us for food, fun, and community. Whether you’re a longtime member or just visiting that Sunday, you’re family at the table.

Don’t miss it—come hungry, bring a friend, and let’s roast together!
