Do you enjoy working with technology, visuals, or creative details? Our Media Ministry is looking for a few dependable volunteers to serve as ProPresenter Builders—a behind-the-scenes role that helps worship run smoothly each week.

What you’ll do

You’ll help prepare worship slides in ProPresenter, including lyrics, Scripture, and visual elements that support the service. This work happens ahead of time and ensures worship feels clear, focused, and welcoming for everyone.

Time commitment

• Serve about once a month
• Approximately 1 hour per week when scheduled
• Flexible timing—come in anytime that fits your schedule; some work may be done from home

No experience required

If you’re comfortable with computers and willing to learn, we’ll provide training. Attention to detail matters more than technical expertise.

Why it matters

ProPresenter Builders play a vital role in helping people engage in worship without distractions. When the words are ready and the visuals are right, the congregation can focus fully on prayer, music, and God’s Word.

On the last Saturday of each month, our church opens its doors for an in-person community meal, creating a welcoming, relaxed space where everyone is invited to the table. Neighbors of all ages and backgrounds gather to share a hot lunch, enjoy conversation, and simply be together.

The next Last Saturday Lunch will be January 31, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. All are welcome.

This ministry is about more than food. It’s about presence. Volunteers offer hospitality, listen to stories, and build relationships that remind each person they are seen and valued. In a world that can feel isolating, this shared meal becomes a place of connection, compassion, and genuine community—one table, one conversation, one Saturday at a time.

Each month, the men and young men of PUMC—and their guests—gather for more than a meal. Men’s Breakfast meets every third Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in the Worship Annex for connection, encouragement, and spiritual growth.

The next gathering is Saturday, January 17.

Come enjoy a hearty breakfast, meaningful conversation, and time in Scripture. All are welcome—whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. Bring your Bible. Bring a friend. Come hungry for good food, fellowship, and God’s Word.

Friends in Christ, we want to share a helpful update regarding offering envelopes. This year, the church will not be ordering boxed offering envelopes as one way to reduce waste and practice good stewardship of our resources.

As a reminder, online giving remains available anytime at pumc.org/give. However, we also recognize that not everyone gives online. You may continue to give by check using a plain white envelope that you provide or by placing your check directly in the offering plate.

We know that printed envelopes have helped some folks keep track of special giving Sundays throughout the year. To support that need, we will continue to clearly communicate upcoming special giving opportunities in advance through worship folder announcements and the e-news.

Thank you for your understanding and continued generosity as we seek to be good stewards together.

The coffee ministry is looking for someone to help serve by cleaning up the coffee area after church on the 4th Sunday of each month. The cleanup takes less than an hour and you would be trained on the procedure. If you are interested in helping with this important ministry please contact Laurie and Mike Rohrer at coffeeministy@pumc.org.

The Saturday Lunch Ministry provides free, nutritious meals to our local community while building relationships rooted in care. On the second and last Saturdays of each month, volunteers prepare and deliver meals to shut-ins and neighbors who could use a little extra support.

On the last Saturday, our church opens its doors for an in-person meal, creating a warm space where anyone can gather for food, conversation, and a sense of belonging. This ministry offers more than lunch—it offers connection, compassion, and community.
