These children are our future; your involvement can help shape their spiritual journey. Grow young with us by signing up in teams of two adults per class. Sunday School begins on August 11th. Let’s make a difference together!

We invite you to join us for a 4-week study on the purpose and power of prayer. This enriching series, designed to deepen your understanding of prayer, will take place on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 PM in the Worship Annex, beginning August 7 and concluding August 28. By participating, you will have the opportunity to connect and learn with others, enrich your spiritual journey, gain a deeper understanding of prayer and foster personal growth.
Every session will conclude with a prayer challenge or activity throughout the week, fostering personal and communal growth in our prayer lives. This growth is not just personal, but it also contributes to the growth of our church community.
If you are interested in participating, please get in touch with the church office, Pastor Abby (alietz@pumc.org), or Kathy Perry (ke_perry@hotmail.com).
We look forward to seeing you in July and growing together in faith through this meaningful exploration of prayer. Your presence will enrich our discussions and your journey will inspire others.

As the new school year rapidly approaches, we’ve reached out to local elementary schools to identify their urgent needs. The response has been clear: over-the-ear headsets are in high demand! These headsets are essential for enhancing students’ learning experiences, especially with the increasing use of technology in the classroom. Your immediate action can make a significant difference.
To address this need, donations made to “Mission in the Memo” will purchase these much-needed headsets for the schools that have requested them. Any additional contributions beyond the headset requirements will be used to buy other essential supplies the schools need.
Your generosity and continued support make a significant difference in the lives of children in Plainfield. By contributing to this cause, you are not just donating, you are directly impacting students’ education and helping create a better learning environment. Your contribution, no matter the size, is important and can make a significant difference.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your past support and for being a vital part of our community’s effort to support our local schools and the children they serve. Your contributions have made a significant difference and we hope we can continue to count on your support.
