The Fish Fry is Back!

The PUMC Community Fish Fry is back! Join us for the return of this great event on July 30th and 31st. Safety plans will be in place to help protect our guests and volunteers.

An event like the Community Fish Fry size takes many volunteers, and we would love for you to be involved. Signup tables will be in the main lobby after the 8:45 and 10:00 a.m. worship services during July or visit pumc.org or visit the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby by the blue wall.

In Philippians 4:13, God reminds us that, “[We] …can do all things through him who gives me strength.” God gave us strength to get through the past year and a half, and he gives us the power to join in fellowship again.

Please consider joining us for good food and hospitality at this year’s Fish Fry! Please direct any questions to any of the three chairs.

Join us in making music at PUMC – All are welcome!

The NewDay Praise band is looking for drummers to join in worship music for Sunday mornings. Band rehearsal occurs on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m., and preparation for the 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning service begins at 9:15 a.m.

The PUMC Sanctuary Choir began in-person rehearsals again on Thursday, April 29. Rehearsal will take place in the sanctuary, with Steven Linville and Nick Fennig from 6-7:30 pm on Thursdays. We look forward to seeing all of our returning members and welcome any new members!

Call for Coffee Cans for Angel Tree

One valuable resource that is needed for PUMC’s Angel Tree Ministry every year is coffee cans. We decorate these cans for use in delivering home-baked Christmas Cookies to the Angel Tree children. Ideally, we would like to have metal coffee cans, but we realize that they are hard to come by. A viable alternative are round 240 and 270 cup plastic coffee cans. (We cannot use square cans or 210 cup plastic coffee cans.) Please drop off clean, empty coffee cans at the Donation Depot near Door 1 to help with this important part of the Christmas Angel Tree Ministry. If you have any questions, head to pumc.org or visit the pumc.org kiosk in the main lobby by the blue wall.

Give a Gift in Kind

Even during this time of social distancing and staying at home, PUMC continues it work of showing love, sharing hope, and serving those in need.

A particular need at the moment is for food for persons and families out of work. You can help! On Sundays between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. and Mondays between 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. (for the foreseeable future), PUMC servant volunteers will be in the parking lot of the church (600 Simmons St., Plainfield) to receive gifts of food that will supply PUMC’s own hunger alleviation ministries (Monday night homeless, Saturday lunches), as well as St. Mark’s Food Pantry in Plainfield, Hendricks County Family Promise, Fletcher Place Community Center in Indianapolis, Indianapolis Public School 34, Hendricks County Active Grace.

Items that would be especially helpful include:

Cereal
Soup
Crackers
Ground Meat
Hamburger Helper
Hot Dogs and Hot Dog Buns
Canned Pasta Items
Canned Vegetables
Boxed Rice and Pasta
Peanut Butter and Jelly
Bread

As well as paper products, cleaning and laundry products, diapers, baby wipes, and personal hygiene products.

Simply drive through the drop-off zone in the east parking lot. You don’t even have to get out of your car! And please note, these drop off times will continue every Sunday and Monday until otherwise noted. Questions may be directed to Pastor Ken Loudenback at kloudenback@pumc.org or Mission Chair Person Ruth Ellen Stone at missions@pumc.org.

Thank you for showing God’s BIG Love in this way!
