If you have a College, Senior High or Eighth Grade graduate, please bring them to be recognized during our 10:30 am service.

Also, please email your graduate’s photo to PUMC

If you have a College graduate, please also send the following info along with it:

1 - Where they are graduating from

Parents of high school juniors are preparing a Graduate Brunch before the service (at 9:30) for graduating High School Seniors and their families as well as a reception following worship.

We ask that Seniors wear their cap and gown for the service.

P.S. Please ask special prayers for Katie Rose this week. She has scans on Thursday, May 7 in St. Louis. This may be her “Hallelujah Scan”! If the tumor has shrunk and/or doesn’t light up, she’ll be done with inpatient chemo!

No matter what, God is good - ALL THE TIME.

We are so thankful for your faithful prayers!
