The air is turning crisp, the days a little shorter—perfect weather to come inside and play Euchre!

Mark your calendars for the first Wednesday of every month and join us in the Worship Annex (NewDay Praise area) from 2:00–4:00 p.m.

Haven’t played in a while? Never learned at all? No problem—you’re welcome here. Come for the fun, fellowship, and maybe even a little friendly competition.

At Plainfield United Methodist Church, women of all ages are invited to join United Women in Faith Circles—small groups that focus on faith, fellowship, and service. Circles provide a welcoming place to study the Bible, pray together, build lasting friendships, and take part in mission projects that support both our church family and the wider community.

Rooted in a long Methodist tradition of women serving with courage and compassion, these groups are designed to help participants grow spiritually while making a positive impact. Whether you are seeking deeper connection, opportunities to serve, or simply a place to belong, PUMC’s Women’s Circles offer a warm and supportive community.

Take the next step—visit pumc.org/women, explore the Circle opportunities, and join a group where you can connect, grow, and serve with grace.

Youth Worship at 10 a.m. in Room 200
This Sunday: Faith That Won’t Fall

Everyone loves a good origin story. When it comes to faith, the foundation matters most. Just like a Jenga tower, the wrong bottom blocks can make everything collapse—but the resurrection of Jesus is the block that holds it all together. Because he’s alive, we can build a faith that lasts no matter what questions or challenges come our way.

Read ahead: Matthew 28:2–6.

Fall Bonfire

Friday, Sept. 26, 6:30 p.m. at Wesley Woods (behind the church)

Hunger doesn’t take a day off—and neither do we! Join us THIS Saturday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at Kroger on Main Street for our Pack the Pantry food collection. Every can, box, and bag you give goes straight to the PFC Food Pantry to feed neighbors right here at home.

Bonus power move: Swing by Meijer and grab a Simply Give $10 card—it’s DOUBLE MATCH DAY! That means your $10 turns into $30 of food for families in need.

Two quick stops. Huge impact. Countless full bellies.

Tell your friends. Bring your family. Be the difference.

Let’s PACK that Pantry and fill hearts (and carts) this Saturday!

Join Plainfield UMC’s men, young men, and guests for Men’s Breakfast every third Saturday at 8:30 a.m. in the Worship Annex. Enter through Door 14.

Enjoy a hearty meal, good conversation, and time in Scripture as we grow in faith and fellowship.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been attending for years, this is a welcoming space to connect with God and one another.

Bring your Bible, bring a friend, and come hungry—for food, fellowship, and God’s Word. All are welcome—just as you are.

To celebrate this milestone, her family is asking friends and loved ones to send Ruth Ellen a birthday card with a memory or story. Please mail cards to:

W 62nd Street, Apt 152E
Indianapolis, IN 46268

Dan and Ruth Ellen are enjoying life at Robin Run Village, and it would mean so much for Ruth Ellen to open cards from friends near and far on her 90th birthday, October 1, 2025.

Thank you in advance for helping make her birthday extra special!

Youth Worship | 10 a.m. | Room 200

This week’s theme: You Can Trust Before You Know Everything.

Do you prefer tidy endings or cliffhangers that leave you wondering? Faith often feels like that tension. The good news: we don’t have to choose sides. God created everything—including science—and our faith rests not on knowing all the answers but on trusting the One behind it all: Jesus. You don’t have to know everything to trust someone.

Read ahead: Colossians 1:15–17.
