There have been so many things in the national news lately that you may need to catch up on information about UMCOR, as usual. UMCOR moves quickly to assist hard-hit areas. The United Methodist Committee of Relief is always ready to help those in places like Alabama-West Florida, Western North Carolina, South Carolina, and other Southeastern states who experienced severe storms with tornadoes that left paths of destruction through specific regions. Because of your financial support on UMCOR Sunday, they can respond quickly and stay as long as the help is needed.

Bring your favorite games and your favorite people and join PUMC for an all-church game “night” on Sunday, March 3, from 2-4pm in the Worship Annex.

Also, this is an excellent opportunity to invite friends and folks interested in connecting with a faith community. We’ll see you Sunday, March 3, from 2-4pm for a PUMC Game Night!
