Men’s Breakfast: December 21, 2024

Plainfield UMC’s men, young men, and guests come together every third Saturday of the month at 8:30 a.m. for an amazing time of food, fellowship, and faith!

We gather in the Worship Annex, so bring your empty stomach, a friend, and your Bible. Get ready to enjoy delicious food, meaningful connections, and the nourishment of God’s word. It’s the perfect way to start your weekend with purpose and community.

We can’t wait to see you there—don’t miss it!

Reach Beyond Update: December 15, 2024

After months of prayerful planning, Reach Beyond is here to help PUMC extend its mission and welcome more people into God’s love! This exciting project will transform our Worship Annex into a space of hospitality, outreach, and worship.

We’re making essential upgrades—replacing broken windows, updating 25-year-old carpet, modernizing the electrical panel, and adding cozy seating. Plus, we’ll enhance the space with a permanent prayer wall, art tracks, and more.

The vision costs $65,000, and we’re over halfway there! As of December 15, 2024 $33,788.66 has been raised. With your help, we can reach our goal!

This refreshed space will bless PUMC and our community as we build relationships, extend invitations, and share the Good News of Christ. Together, we can bring this vision to life. Let’s do this—our best days are ahead!

The Gentle Ministry of the Threshold Singers

The Threshold Singers offer a unique and tender ministry, bringing comfort and peace through song. Their harmonious voices create a soothing presence, providing solace to those at life’s thresholds, whether in moments of illness, transition, or end-of-life care.

This compassionate group reminds us of the power of music to heal and connect. Their gift of song is a gentle reminder of love, hope, and God’s grace, touching hearts in profound and meaningful ways.
