Each year an offering is received on UMCOR Sunday (today) which enables that agency (the United Methodist Committee on Relief) to respond immediately to disasters or other emergencies around the world. Money then given for those specific geographic areas or issues at the time of need goes 100% as designated. This offering provides the leadership and connections which makes this possible.
Special envelopes are located on the table near the entrance to the Sanctuary. You may write a check made out to PUMC and marked “UMCOR Sunday” or pumc.org/give and mark your gift “UMCOR Sunday.”

Eggstravaganza is back for 2022, and your help is needed! When we last hosted Eggstravaganza in 2019, we welcomed more than 200 children and their families. As you can imagine, with this many expected guests, many volunteers are needed. Volunteers are needed to help setup, welcome and register our guests, run craft stations, stuff eggs, hide eggs in the woods, and help clean up afterward.
Unable to be here on April 16, 2022 to volunteer? We also need prizes for the “special prize eggs,” such as stuffed animals, games, bubbles, toys, and puzzles to give away.
We need you to help make this a warm, welcoming, memorable day for the children and their families by showing the Big Love of Jesus Christ.
Please visit pumc.org/serve to volunteer or donate.
We are excited to announce that Eggstravaganza is back for 2022!

This week, we highlight the Basic Ministry Budget.
The operating budget for Plainfield United Methodist Church is more than line items on a spreadsheet. It’s a story of love in action. PUMC uses gifts to the budget to show God’s BIG Love and help others grow in faith.
Out of every dollar you generously give to support the Basic Ministry Budget, 7 cents of it supports adult discipleship.
PUMC’s facility on 600 Simmons Street serves as a home base for our core areas of service and ministry. Our 41,000 square-foot, two-story building allows us to host classic, contemporary, and youth-centered worship services concurrently each Sunday. Our digital exterior signage, new carpet, and main lobby refresh aim to make guests and members alike feel welcome and at home. Our classrooms are filled with children, small groups, committees, mission teams, pastors, and staff. Our full-sized kitchen is a hub for
2022 Narrative Budget ongoing ministry and outreach initiatives like bereavement meals and the annual Fish Fry. We open the sanctuary for countless concerts, music programs, and theater experiences when safety protocols allow. And we recently took on a long-term loan for replacing PUMC’s roof and HVAC system. Our property is one of the most powerful tools for ministry we have, and we don’t take it for granted.
