This Sunday is Communion Sunday.

Also, we will have 2nd Sunday Breakfast, since we have a luncheon for the Pierces planned on the second Sunday (June 14th).

We will have breakfast following worship, at 10:30 am.

 

In July, Second Sunday Breakfast will also be the FIRST Sunday (7/5), because we have a luncheon planned for

our new pastor and his family on the 12th. Breakfast will be after worship until we return to our fall schedule of two services,

September 13,  in order to encourage more people (especially visitors) to attend.

Let’s keep Pastor Rick and Cindy in our prayers as they make this big transition!

who has never met their son, Kadmiel!

 

MISSIONS AND OUTREACH

 

Daily Bread/Meals on Wheels

PUMC will begin delivering meals to Menard County residents who are part of the Daily Bread/Meals on Wheels program on Wednesday, July 1st. Volunteers pick up hot meals at 11 am and deliver them to recipients in and outside Petersburg city limits. Please see the attached calendar for more info and dates. It is in the church vestibule for sign-up. Please sign up by June 28th.

 

 

 

Bluejay Fuel

PUMC is beginning a new partnership with Menard County Family Collaborative, Menard Caring and PORTA school district in an endeavor called Bluejay Fuel. The purpose of this program is to help insure that children in our community are fed. Eligible families will receive shelf-stable food donated and bagged by volunteers on a weekly basis to alleviate hunger. One of the things PUMC is doing is acting as a storage facility for overflow of items from PORTA Central. We can also donate food, funds, time and used grocery bags to support this effort. Just as importantly, we can pray specifically for our families who are struggling to feed their children. See the attached Bluejay Fuel insert for more information. More details will follow as they become available.

 

 

 

YOSM Camps & VBS

YOSM camps will be held July 5-9 and 12-17. Vacation Bible School, which will be at PUMC this year, will be

July 6-9 and will be one of the mission projects our Jr. High campers will help with. If you would like to register for Mission Camp or VBS, forms are available at PUMC or you can register online at
