Volunteers Still Needed!

Plainfield UMC’s next Host Week for Family Promise is August 29-September 4, 2021.
Currently, the families are still in the Woodsprings Suites Extended Stay Hotel in Plainfield. Meals for the families will be dropped off at the front desk. The staff of Family Promise is diligently working to find a different living situation for the resident families as they work through the program.
There are currently four families in the program needing meals; 8 adults and 12 children ranging in age from 15 to 6 weeks.

Volunteers are still needed to make meals for the Family Promise families.
Visit pumc.org or the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby on Sunday mornings if you would be able to supply and drop off a meal during the week of August 29-September 4.

This year’s church-wide study will be Gospel Discipleship: 4 Pathways for Christian Disciples. The church-wide study will start September 26, 2021, and go for a five-week ending on October 24, 2021.
Each individual brings a unique set of skills and gifts to the mission field and needs to understand their disciple type.

What are your unique skills and gifts? Are you like Luke? Matthew? Mark? John?
Get a jump on this year’s study and go to pumc.org or visit the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby by the blue wall to discover which of the four archetypes you most resemble.

Plainfield UMC’s Last Saturday Lunch committee is excited to resume offering in-house lunches at the church on August 28, 2021. We will be following new safety guidelines for serving. The LSL committee will evaluate each month moving forward to see if it is safe to continue serving in-house. Join us on Saturday, August 28, between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in Clayton Hall (Door 14) for an excellent lunch and fellowship. If you know of someone who might need a meal, please advise the church office.

To volunteer with the Last Saturday Lunch ministry, visit pumc.org or visit the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby by the blue wall.

There are currently four families in the program needing meals; 8 adults and 12 children ranging in age from 15 to 6 weeks. We know from past experiences that the number of residents can change quickly as families move out. Family Promise will provide the most up-to-date information possible the week before we begin.

Visit pumc.org or the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby on Sunday mornings if you would be able to supply and drop off a meal during the week of August 29-September 4.

Plainfield UMC’s men, young men, and guests gather at the church on the third Saturday of every month at 8:30 a.m. for food and fellowship.

We meet in Clayton Hall/Worship Annex. Bring an empty stomach, a friend, and your Bible! Be ready to be nourished through delicious food and the word of God! Hope to see you there!

Family Promise’s Belonging Group talked a few months ago about how to help people of color feel like they belong in Hendricks County. The group decided the best way for that to happen would be to experience Family Promise! Taste of Family Promise is our first attempt to extend the love, acceptance, empathy, and kindness of Family Promise to others in our community where everyone belongs!

Join us August 15 on the front lawn of the Plainfield Friends Church, 105 S. East St. Plainfield, IN 46168, from 2:00 – 5:00 pm for a free picnic. There will be bounce houses, food, face painting, raffles, giveaways and more!

This event is coordinated by our Family Promise Belonging Group and sponsored through the Hendricks County Community Foundation grant.

PLAINFIELD UMC CONGRATULATES ALL THE GRADUATES OF CLASS OF 2021.

Join Pastor Hannah for a four-week study on the book of James. James is a short letter in the New Testament that offers practical advice for living out our faith. The study will meet on Wednesdays in the Koinonia Room at 7 pm on August 18, August 25, September 1, and September 8. It would be helpful if you bring your Bible; however, this is not necessary. Pastor Hannah will have printouts of the scripture each week. For more information, check out “Next Steps” at pumc.org or the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby by the blue wall.

The return of school means the return of routine for many of us. At the church, it means fall kick-offs and groups returning to meetings regularly if they took a break for the summer months. This fall, we’re excited to announce the creation of a new small group! It’s a group for people in their 20s and 30s. If you’re between the ages of 20 and 39, we would love to welcome you to our new small group! Stephanie Kirkling and Pastor Hannah will be leading our first event.

We’re hosting a kick-off event on Friday, August 6, at 7 pm outside in Wesley Woods. We’ll have a bonfire, s’mores, and some relaxed discussion about what we’d like the group to be and how often we’d like to meet. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on and we’ll provide the stuff for s’mores.
