What a beautiful and bright space in which to gather! This month the church main lobby has been renovated with an open floorplan to the north lobby and ease of access to the Worship Annex. The congregation is already enjoying the expanded space for conversation. The removal of walls, relocation of an electrical panel, and installation of new lights, were all completed in two weeks time. Thank you to the incredible work crew and our Trustees that oversaw the project. We also give glory to God for the generous anonymous donor whose gift made the renovation possible. Our Hospitality Team is excited to review the space in order to best utilize the room for Coffee Fellowship and the Welcome Desk. This is a season of praise as we celebrate this wonderful transformation that will help PUMC continue to be a place of warm welcome, belonging, and growth in grace and community.
Plainfield United Methodist Church (PUMC) is excited to share updates on the “Reach Beyond” project, aimed at revitalizing the Worship Annex into a dynamic space for hospitality, outreach, and worship.
Recent updates include:
The project is estimated to cost $65,000. Thanks to the Transforming for Tomorrow initiative, a $30,000 lead gift has been secured. As of January 19, 2025, $45,063.66 has been raised, with the community’s support making this vision a reality.
This refreshed space will strengthen connections and ministry opportunities. To contribute, visit pumc.org/reachbeyond. Together, we can make this dream a reality!
Plainfield United Methodist Church (PUMC) is gearing up for another impactful food drive, calling on the community to support local pantries and families facing food insecurity. This initiative provides an opportunity for residents to extend kindness and help ensure everyone has access to nutritious meals.
The drive encourages participants to fill a grocery bag with non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, or peanut butter. Bags will be distributed on February 2, with the hope they’ll be returned full by the following Sunday.
For those who prefer to contribute financially, donations are equally valuable. Funds raised will go toward purchasing fresh produce and essential items that local food pantries need most.
This effort is a reminder of the power of collective action in times of need. For more details, contact the church office. Together, the community can make a lasting impact.
