PUMC Youth News – October 2013
The PUMC Youth have lots in store for our wonderful congregation this fall.
Starting with the T-Shirt fundraiser. Thank you to all of you who purchased T-shirts. These orders will be in soon. We are thrilled that our Youth will be able to represent our Church in a new and stylish way.
The Youth will also be joining the Boy Scouts with the Halloween Hoot & Trunk or Treat. We will be decorating up to 5 trunks! We are hoping to have a special appearance again from our favorite Ghost Buster (Pastor Nathan)!
The youth has many additional things that they will be working on to include the possibility of a Live Nativity, the Christmas Parade, Adopt a Child program and helping with Urban Ministries. Those are just to mention a few. We will be putting up a sign up sheet for meals again.
The youth meet every other Sunday from 5 -7 pm and we have 10 mouths to feed. If you feel like coming and joining us and want to provide a meal and see what the Youth do please feel free to sign up. ( the youth love Pizza & Bojangles and nothing beats a home cooked meal!)
There will also be a sign up sheet for the Trunk or Treat if you want the youth to decorate your trunk! You can also donate candy. There will be a box available for this.
I and the Youth want to Thank EVERYONE for all the support you have given. It is a blessing to watch these youth grow within our church and to have the support from so many members of our church family. Thank You Thank You!!
Love and Blessing, Peggy & the Youth Group

United Methodist Women – October 2013
After taking July off and having dinner out in August, UMW resumed its monthly meeting on Thursday, September 26. Fifteen members were present. President Susan Oglesby opened our meeting with prayer and then the members shared their joys and concerns. Hollis Bowen recognized those members with August and September birthdays. Secretary Florine Layman gave a recap of the minutes from the June meeting. This helped us focus on the finished and the unfinished projects of UMW.
Using the Prayer Calendar Charlotte Thompson told us about several missionaries and deaconesses and their mission work. She read Luke 6:17-26 to remind us the healing aspects of Jesus’ ministry. Becky Harrell works with training young Latino believers to serve in their communities to help ease the problems of poverty, rejection and hunger. Other deaconesses work more directly in their communities with healing ministries.
Treasurer Pat Nestler presented the treasurer’s report. Our unit’s Candle Burning donation for 2013 was made in memory of Hazel Robinson and in honor of Judy Roseberry, Jan Schwarze and Arlene McCloskey. The $72 donation is the amount of money required to carry on the mission work of UMW missions in the US and around the world for two minutes. After the treasurer’s report was accepted, Pat led us in the Pledge Service for 2014. Using the UMW values of Faith, Hope, and Love, we looked at others who are living these values and are helping many people around the world with their needs. Florine, Priscilla, and Arlene told of specific missions that receive UMW financial support. This program closed with our personal pledges to support missions in 2014.
Ann Farmer gave a report on the family room. It is nearly complete. While not a UMW project, most of the women involved in the design of this room and in the actual labor of getting it ready are active members in our UMW unit. The room should be ready for dedication on our church birthday, October 13, 2013.
In our last order of business Priscilla Thompson gave the report of the nominating committee. Our leadership for next year is in place! LOTS (Local Officers Training Session) will be held in November. We extend our thanks to the nominating committee and to the members that said YES.
Our next meeting will be October 24 at 7:00 pm.
