We have many service opportunities we are excited to share with you!
Operation Christmas Child Collection Week
PHUMC is a drop-off location in North Pinellas County for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. We will be collecting them from November 16-23. Sign-ups will be out in late October.
Metropolitan Ministry Holiday Tent
Each year, we provide volunteers to assist at the West Pasco Metropolitan Ministry Holiday Tent in Trinity. We assist the clients as they “shop” for their holiday meal.
PHUMC will be volunteering on:
Friday, November 20, 9 a.m. – noon for Thanksgiving
Friday, December 18, 9 a.m.- noon for Christmas
Hanging of the Greens
If you would like to assist in decorating PHUMC for Christmas, then this is for you. After service on Sunday, November 22, we will pull out all the bins of Christmas decorations and start to have a great time. We will put up and decorate trees, the lobby, the sanctuary, and more!
Email Jessica Brueland at jbrueland@phumc.net to sign up or just show up after service!

Pack A Sack
Pack a Sack, an outreach mission of PHUMC, goes to Sandy Lane and Calvin Huntsinger schools to help children experiencing food insecurity on weekends. We pack items in a bag, which takes 30-45 minutes once a week at 5:15 pm on Thursdays, and then deliver the packed bins to the school, which takes about 90 minutes. We are looking for volunteers to pack and drivers to deliver the filled bins. The most important part of our packing is praying over the bins after we have filled them. To volunteer, please contact Lynnehoman@gmail.com.
This happens during the school year.
Giving Hope Needs You
As we enter the fall, the need is greater for volunteers to help at Giving Hope. Giving Hope feeds the homeless Monday–Saturday by distributing bags of non-perishable food and sandwiches to those in need in North Pinellas and Pasco. From preparing the food for distribution to deliveries and everything in between, this vital ministry to our community needs your help. For more information about how you can help, contact Don Lewis, dlepay@gmail.com.
Send an email to info@phumc.net and let us know what you are interested in, and we will get you connected.
