As society comes to grips with higher costs for the bare necessities, there is a growing need for food and personal care items. PUMC continues its work to show love, share hope, and serve those in need by collecting these items. Items are collected on Sundays between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and Mondays between 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Volunteers will be in the church’s parking lot to receive these gifts of food and personal care items. These donations supply PUMC’s hunger alleviation ministries, food pantries, and community support organizations in and around Plainfield.
Drop off your donations in the east parking lot. You don’t even have to get out of your car!
Check out pumc.org for more information.
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact Pastor Ken Loudenback at kloudenback@pumc.org or Mission Chairperson at missions@pumc.org.

The annual PUMC Youth Online Auction is happening again this year, and your support is needed!
Why get in on the action, especially if you don’t have teens? By supporting PUMC youth, you will make a difference in their spiritual growth and development. Your prayers and donations will make a difference in the programs and outreach available to the youth.
PUMC youth volunteer in local, national, and international mission and outreach opportunities. Our teenagers provide leadership at church summer camps and participate in activities to strengthen their spiritual growth. To support these activities and events, PUMC hosts the 11th Annual PUMC Youth Online Auction from August 26 to September 12, 2022.
Now here’s the best part! By simply donating any of the items below, you can help the vibrant youth ministry at PUMC thrive!

We would like to make you aware that, now that PUMC has an electronic door locking system, there is no longer a need for lock-up crews to lock doors and turn off lights. If you are in a classroom and your meeting is over, please turn off the lights. If you are exiting the building and the hallway seems empty, please turn off the hallway lights. Thank you for helping your church family to be good stewards and save the church some money.
