The PUMC Endowment Team reminds high school seniors who have been active in our church and who are going on to higher education to submit a Scholarship Application by April 30, 2026. Pick up a copy of the application at the church office or download it now. Email your completed application to Pastor Cody or Candi Robinson.

Over the past 11 years, we have given out 68 scholarships to our graduating high school seniors, scholarships totaling $46,000. This is made possible because others, in our church's past, have given to the Scholarship Endowment. Help us continue supporting our youth by considering a gift today to our Scholarship Endowment Fund.

In preparation for Sunday worship, here are questions to consider ahead of time. You can use these in your own devotion time, in conversation with family and friends, or in a small group setting. All are welcome to join one discussion group every Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Room 216 in the church. 

We hope this practice will help you engage with the scriptural texts and sermon at a deeper faith level. 

For March 8 worship:

• This week's sermon: The Good News is . . . Together, the Impossible is Possible

• Scripture: Mark 6:32-44; Ephesians 3:20-21

• Guiding Questions:

1. This week we reflect on what is possible when we come together. Our first reading is Mark's account of the feeding of the 5,000+. Imagine you are one of the disciples. What is your biggest fear when Jesus seems to  tell you to get them something to eat? What else runs through your mind? 

2. This story in Mark 6:32-44 is called by different names in our Bibles. What are some of those names, phrases, headings? What is miraculous about this experience?

3. Chapter 3 of Paul's letter to the Ephesians is another example of how Paul recounts God's grace in his life. The last 8 verses is a prayer for the church, that the Spirit and Christ dwell in them so that they might fully know God's grace themselves. Read these verses (14-19) and hear them as a message from Paul to you. What does this message inspire in you?

4. Verses 20-21 are Paul's prayer that God might work within us in order "to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine." What might God be calling us to accomplish that seems unimaginable? What worries do you have about God asking you to do something, or even dream something?

Please join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, The Good New Is.... This Sunday's message is Together, the Impossible is Possible and our scripture readings are Mark 6:32-44; Ephesians 3:20-21.
