All ages are encouraged to join us Saturday, October 9 beginning at 10 a.m. in the multi-purpose room as we build 1,500 shoeboxes! You don't need to bring anything, all of the items will be supplied.  

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes are a great way to lead children around the world to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

The entire month of September the Men's Ministry will be preselling their delicious pecans. You must pay for your pecans when you place your order. Pecans will be delivered mid-November. Make sure to get them before they are gone!

We need you to decorate a trunk and hand out candy for our 2nd annual Trunk or Treat. This fun event will be held on the field the evening of Saturday, October 23. To make this event successful we need people, small groups, ministries, to decorate trunks. If you are interested contact Miss Missy at mthomas@phumc.net.

These are challenging times for many of us personally, for our church, for our nation, and for the world. As believers we are a people of hope. Our hope is in Jesus Christ and he is faithful.

 

Let us join together for a time of praise, prayer, and professing our hope on Sunday, September 19, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. in the sanctuary.

We have been dreaming about new ways to reach our community and surrounding areas. After much discussion and prayer, we have decided to move forward in creating HOLY GROUNDS.  What is HOLY GROUNDS you ask? It is a place to meet and gather, to build and strengthen relationships. It is a place to hold discussions about sermons, faith, and life. And it is a place to enjoy good coffee! HOLY GROUNDS is our coffee shop. As we are in the beginning phase of this vision, we do not have all of the answers right now.

 

In August, as we debut our coffee shop vision, we will be hosting various coffee “carts” in the lobby on   Sunday mornings. The main objective of these carts are to get your feedback as we sample various types of coffee that may possibly be in HOLY GROUNDS. 

 

Sip on a cup of coffee, smell the aroma, and join us in prayer as we start our journey to HOLY GROUNDS

This group seeks to learn and grow in our faith through studying the Bible, other books, and video studies with Biblical teachers.  We are a mixed group of all ages of adults.  We have members who have the "gift" of  teaching and we are blessed by the use of their gift.

 

Monday, August 30 at 6:30 p.m. Pack A Sack will be kicking off their new year. Pack A Sack is a wonderful program that provides weekend snacks for local elementary students who are food insecure. If you would like to learn more, be a volunteer, driver, or a sponsor this meeting is for you.

The Youth finishes beds that will be donated

Saturday, August 7 our youth group returned to The Carpenter’s Workshop at St. Paul UMC to finish putting together the beds they started two weeks ago. These beds are going to be donated to families whose children do not have a bed to sleep in. It is estimated over 7,000 children in our county alone do not have a bed to sleep on. Our youth took such pride in their work. They learned how to use many tools and had a great time in the process. During the morning they sanded, hammered, used wood glue, used the nail gun, painted scripture on the bed slats and put together the finished product. This is a project they all agreed that they want to come back to.

 

We are challenging everyone out there who knows how to knit or crochet...help us make a beanie hat for every Operation  Christmas Child shoebox that we put together for our special    shoebox packing party in the late fall.  That is about 1,500 beanie hats!! We don’t care if they are girl or boy or what pattern you use, we will even provide the yarn for you. The beanies need to fit 2-15 year old children. 

 

Think of all the boys and girls that you will make happy and what a wonderful way to show your love for one another.

 

If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Campbell at 770-605-6226.

 

Oh, that means we are still accepting yarn donations too.  Thank you in advance.
