PUMC’s Mission Team is collecting Father’s Day gift bags for the Parker Task Force. Bring items like socks, shavers, candy, or small tools to church by this Sunday, June 8. It’s an easy way to bring joy to dads—and their kids—this Father’s Day!

With the Memorial Day weekend, summertime is officially here and it's time for the Summer Journey in the adult Sunday school class.  Please join us as you are able from 10:30-11:30 on Sunday mornings in Room 144.

This year we will guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows kids that God is a faithful friend we can always trust. God is our True North! Sounds fun, right? It is so much fun! Kids, sign up here! Teens and adults, you are an important part of welcoming the community into our church! Volunteers are needed for 1, 2, 3 or all 4 days, whatever works for your schedule. VBS is June 23-26 from 9 a.m. to Noon. Sign up here or contact Noelle for more information. 

You may have noticed a bin in the parking lot just south of the church building. If you have clothing you are no longer wearing, this is a great drop-off location. By doing so, you serve the local community, as well as the environment, by diverting clothing waste into avenues of recycling.

What We Accept in the Clothes Bin:

Clothes
Pants, jeans, skirts, dresses, suits, shorts, shirts, tees

Outerwear
Coats, jackets, gloves, hats

Footwear
Shoes, boots, heels, sneakers, sandals

Accessories
Hats, belts, ties, scarves

Handbags
Wallets, purses, totes, backpacks, briefcases

We need your help to make a video about safety and first aid at the church. The video will include small scenes where you would have specific lines, and those who are part of a larger group demonstrating evacuation procedures.

This is a great service project to help the church run safely and smoothly in the event of an emergency.

Anyone interested can help on Saturday, June 7. Arrive at the church at 8:45 a.m. in order to begin filming at 9 a.m. Goodies will be available as well.

If you are willing to learn lines, please email Sonja Parson and she will get a script to you ahead of time. Please respond ASAP to help the planning process.

Looking forward to budding actors to help us make our church safer!

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

For June 8 worship:

• Parable of the Kingdom of Heaven 

• Scripture: Psalm 105:1-11 and Luke 13:18-21

• Guiding Questions:

1. Psalm 105 is a praise for what God has done on earth and in God's people. How do you see yourself as part of God's work on earth?

2. Luke 13:18-21 contains 2 different sayings of Jesus. 18-19 is what is often called the Parable of the Mustard Seed. What do you know about mustard seeds? How does this parable speak to you?

3. The Parable of the Yeast is Luke 18:20-21. What do you think about when you think of yeast? What is yeast good for?

4. These images help to describe the Kingdom of God. What does this phrase mean to you? How are you part of this Kingdom? 

5. How would you describe the Kingdom of God based on these 4 verses in Luke 13?

Please join us Sunday as we begin our Summer sermon series, Jesus the Storyteller. This Sunday's message is the Parable of the Kingdom of Heaven; our scripture readings are Psalm 105:1-11 and Luke 13:18-21.
