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 15 worship:

• This week's sermon: The Good News is . . . Protection and Care for the Vulnerable

• Scripture: Matthew 19:13-15; Deuteronomy 24:17-22

• Guiding Questions:

1. This week we reflect on how the good news is hope for the vulnerable. Our first reading is from Matthew 19:13-15 where Jesus blesses the children. Compare this passage with other accounts: Mark 9:36-37, Matthew 18:1-5, Mark 10:13-16. What do you think Jesus is teaching the disciples and us? How do children bring gifts to our church and to our world?

2. How are children vulnerable in our world? What might be our call as a church to do or to respond to this?

3. Deuteronomy 24:17-22 plays an important role for the Hebrew people. When you read these commands, what is your first response? How might these commandments been received in the original community?

4. In our current reality, discussion around immigrants, which is what aliens refers to in Deuteronomy, is heightened and polarized. How might you read these passages in light of our current culture? What arguments or concerns in today's conversations are not reflected in this passage?

5. How might our church read these passages in Deuteronomy? What are some practical ways we might offer protection and care for the vulnerable?

Please join us this Sunday as we continue our sermon series, The Good New Is.... This Sunday's message is Protection and Care for the Vulnerable and our scripture readings are Matthew 19:13-15; Deuteronomy 24:17-22.
