After months of prayerful planning, Plainfield United Methodist Church (PUMC) is excited to announce the “Reach Beyond” project—a transformative initiative to refresh our Worship Annex into a warm, welcoming hub for hospitality, outreach, and worship.

The project includes several meaningful updates:

• Window Replacements: Installing new windows to replace those with broken seals.
• Carpet Upgrades: Replacing the 25-year-old carpet for a refreshed appearance.
• Electrical Modernization: Updating the electrical panel to enhance safety and functionality.
• Comfortable Seating: Adding new side tables, easy chairs, and additional seating to create an inviting atmosphere.
• Decor Enhancements: Introducing an interactive permanent prayer wall, art tracks for installations, and more, as the budget allows.

The total project cost is $65,000. Thanks to the generosity of the Transforming for Tomorrow initiative, we’ve received a lead gift of $30,000, bringing us nearly halfway to our goal.
As of January 19, 2025, we’ve raised $44,063.66. Every contribution brings us closer to realizing this vision.

This revitalized space will bless PUMC and our community, offering new ways to connect, grow, and share the Good News of Christ. Your support matters—together, we can make this vision a reality.
