We invite you to come in and pick up a carry-out meal between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of the month. Please enter through door 14 and go to the kitchen, and someone will be there to get your meal. If you know of someone who might need a meal, visit pumc.org/saturday-lunch.
The cost for the burial right to use the niche is $2500, which includes using the niche for two sets of remains if desired. The fee for engraving the granite niche cover is also included in the use fee. It’s important to note that if the niche is intended to be used by a single Grantee, the cost for the burial right will be reduced to $2250. This niche is designed to accommodate cremated remains and is located in a beautiful and peaceful location. There are only 15 niches available for use currently, so if you’re interested in purchasing a niche, it’s recommended that you act fast. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help you in any way we can.
For more information, please get in touch with Larry Rudy at larryrudy@gmail.com.
Almighty God, pour out your blessings upon your servants who have been given particular ministries in your church. Grant them grace to give themselves wholeheartedly in your service. Keep before them the example of our Lord, who did not think first of himself but gave himself for us all. Let them share his ministry and consecration, that they may enter into his joy. Guide them in their work. Reward their faithfulness with the knowledge that through them your purposes are accomplished; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

At PUMC, we support numerous mission projects that spread God’s message of love and compassion. Our mission projects range from providing education and healthcare to underprivileged communities, supporting disaster relief efforts, and assisting those in need locally and globally.
Your support is critical in helping us advance these projects. Your financial donations, supplies, and hands-on service allow us to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve. We urge you to mark your undesignated gift to PUMC missions as “Missions” in the memo field so that the Missions Committee can distribute the funds to projects that need them the most.
Your impact will be felt by those who need it most, and we thank you for your unwavering support in helping us spread God’s love and message of hope.
For almost a decade now, PUMC (Plainfield United Methodist Church) has been working with Family Promise to transform the lives of families experiencing poverty and homelessness in Hendricks County. As they approach their 10th anniversary next year, they are proud to continue supporting this important cause.
One of the ways PUMC is helping is by providing hot meals to families staying in an emergency shelter for four weeks every year. Recently, they completed their fourth week of meal service for seven families, ensuring they have access to nutritious food during a difficult time.
In addition, PUMC collects donations for the Stability Builder’s Network, which provides essential support for homeless people and those struggling to make ends meet. They recently collected diapers in December and will collect laundry detergent in January
Suppose you are interested in supporting this cause. You can drop off your donations at the Door 1 lobby or the Donation Depot. Every donation, big or small, can make a difference in the lives of those who need support and assistance.
Are you looking for a community to connect with and grow in faith? At pumc.org/groups, we have launched a new “Groups” page where you can find a variety of small groups and book studies that meet regularly. This community is open to all, regardless of where you are on your faith journey.
Our Groups page is designed to help you find like-minded individuals who share your interests and passions. Each group has a unique focus, such as Bible study, prayer, or fellowship. You can read detailed descriptions of each group’s purpose and activities on the page.
You can contact the group leader through the listed contact information if you find a group you want to join. They will happily provide more information about the group and when and where they meet.
We continuously add new groups and descriptions to the page, so check back often. If you lead a group or want to start a new one at PUMC, please do not hesitate to contact Eiric Shriner at eshriner@pumc.org. He will be delighted to assist you in getting your group listed on the page and making it easier for people to find your group.

Thank you for being so supportive!
Are you struggling to find a unique and thoughtful gift for someone who already seems to have everything? We suggest making a difference in their name by donating to one of the many admirable ministries at PUMC. Not only will your gift be appreciated, but it will also support a great cause.
Head to the Main Lobby table on December 10th or 17th, 2023 to learn more about the various ministries. You can learn about the different programs and choose one that resonates with you and your gift recipient. You can also ask any questions and get help with the donation process.
Donating to a ministry at PUMC can make the holiday season more meaningful and impactful. Thank you for considering this option, and we hope to see you at the Main Lobby table soon!
