Thank you to all who helped and participated in the 2022 CROP Walk.
23 walkers from 5 churches walked the local trails behind the rec center, and 7 churches donated financially. A total of $ 3,344.00 was raised to help feed the needy! And a big thank you to Mick and Linda Linn for donating Dilly bars to the walkers once again. We appreciate your participation and encouragement!

Our Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Aleze Fulbright, has set a date for a Special Called Charge Conference. On Wednesday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m., Church Council members will vote to establish the PUMC clergy compensation for 2023 and revise the PUMC Gift Acceptance Policy.
The 2023 giving envelopes will be available for pick up in the main lobby from Sunday, December 4, through Sunday, December 18. If you do not have envelopes and would like them, please contact Rebecca Blackwelder, PUMC Financial Administrator, at 317-839-2319 x.227 or rblackwelder@pumc.org.
PUMC will be collecting hats, gloves or mittens, and scarves through December to keep children warm during the winter months. The Mitten tree, located in the lobby near the PUMC office, is ready to receive your gifts of warmth! Please “decorate” them with mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, etc. Your gifts will be given to Fletcher Place Community Center in Indianapolis, IPS School #34, and other local ministries to help keep their students warm.
Mission Committee is once again planning an Alternate Christmas Gift program.
You can give a monetary gift to any of the missions listed below during the Sundays of December. You will receive a lovely card and description of the mission you choose to give to your friend or relative recipient. The responses from the receivers have been very positive. And you know you are helping with the missions also by your gift.
Projects chosen for this year are :
There will be a small flyer available Sundays in December with a description of each project. Thank you for your interest and support of these ways to minister to many people.
Please help support our 2023 service mission in Costa Rica & Summer Camp Scholarships in Indiana by purchasing freshly-made pizzas from the PUMC Youth!
Because we couldn’t get Christmas trees to sell this year. The youth need to raise funds for Camp Adventure scholarships and the 2023 mission trip to Costa Rica.
Hungry students will be home on school break, family is visiting, and you are hosting holiday parties and family gatherings. Pizza is great with Christmas movies or if you want an easily prepared meal waiting for you after a busy day.
We have many options available, including large 12” Italian sub sandwiches!
Contact any of the Youth going on the Costa Rica Mission trip. Not sure who that is; contact Pastor Bob at bpreusch@pumc.org or through the church office, and he will take your order on behalf of a student, or he will have one of the Youth contact you!
Your fresh pizza will be ready for curbside pickup at Plainfield United Methodist Church (600 Simmons Street, Plainfield) from 1 to 3 pm on Saturday, December 17th.
Help decorate the church in celebration of Christmas. Poinsettias may be given in memory, to honor loved ones, or to celebrate a special event.
Your dedication will be listed in the worship folder on December 18. If desired, you can pick up your poinsettia any time after December 27.
Poinsettias are $12.00 each, and payment must accompany your order. Orders and payments are due on December 14.
To order your poinsettia, go to pumc.link/2022poinsettia. You can pay for your poinsettia by:
If you have any questions or need assistance with your order, please contact Brent Miller at 317.839.2319 or bmiller@pumc.org.
On Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25, we will host an informal “unplugged” worship time in the sanctuary at 10:00 a.m. only. Pastor Charlie and Donna will lead in the a capella singing of a few carols, reading scripture, prayer, and a Christmas devotion. We will not live stream this, the only event at Plainfield United Methodist Church (PUMC) on Christmas Day. Other services and activities will be canceled. It will be a pleasure to celebrate Christmas Day with friends in a time of worship at 10:00 a.m. at PUMC.
