Thank You to the community and the church for making our Fall Festival this past Sunday a huge success. We appreciate sponsors and those who made donations, including Petit Jean Meats. It was a beautiful day of relaxing and enjoying one another's company on a perfect Sunday afternoon. Here are a few photos.

Homecoming this Sunday! Join us!

This Sunday we will celebrate our annual Homecoming Service. The City of Plumerville is celebrating it's homecoming with a Chilli Supper on Friday night and a Catfish & Chicken Dinner on Saturday night. Sunday morning, we will hold worship at our regular time- 11am. We anticipate having family and friends visiting from out of town celebrating the history and legacy of Plumerville- both the community and the Plummerville United Methodist Church. Rev. Rodney Steele, North Central District Superintendent, will bring the sermon as a guest preacher. We are excited to have Rev. Steele, whose father served PUMC many years ago, bring the word to our service. After worship, we will gather for our a potluck meal in Plummer Hall. The church is providing meat dishes and church members will provide sides. Guests are encouraged to attend the meal without bringing anything! Let us serve you!!

Please come and join us for this joyous occasion!

Women's Study Group Rescheduled for 10/6/10

The Women's Study Group that was scheduled for this week has been postponed until next week. Jill is battling an ongoing cough and we do not feel like we should have guests in the house until she is better. Jill would hate to spread this cold to someone else. Thanks for the calls and concerns, we're sure Jill will be back to 100% very soon. The Women's Group will meet next Wednesday on 10/6 for potluck meal and discussion at 7pm. Please come!

New Sunday School Series- Genesis

Hey! We are very excited to say we are beginning a new Sunday School Series. We recently finished up our study of Wesleyan theology using "This We Believe" by Willimon. We will now begin a short term study of Genesis. Our text comes from Cokesbury, a cousin of the popular Disciple Bible Study series, we will be reading "Invitation to Genesis". We are very, very excited about this curriculum and the ways God will reach us through this group study. The curriculum includes daily bible study and commentary. Over approximately 10-12 weeks we will read the Book of Genesis and supporting materials. Our class discussions will be based on the week's reading and reflections.



Books arrived today! This Sunday we will hand out books and talk about the upcoming study. We will discuss lesson 1 the following week, September 26th 9:45am.

With the fall approaching and school semester back in full swing, this is a great time to get involved with our Sunday School class. If you have not been attending, come on in! Pick up and book and join the discussion.

For many centuries, Christians have gathered together to share the word of God. Group study is a powerful way for God to speak to his people.

Sunday School will continue to include coffee, donuts, juice and fruit. :)

Men's Breakfast Saturday 8/28/10

One dozen men gathered this Saturday at Plummer Hall for breakfast and fellowship. The meal was served at 7:30 including ham, bacon, eggs, biscuits, fried potatoes, and sausage gravy. A special thanks goes out to Bob Gordon, Coco Campbell and Charles Malone for gathering the food and preparing the meal. Everyone left with stomachs full.

Rocky Lynch and Peter Sharp fill their plates while Coco calls to remind others...


We even shared some bacon with a canine friend...

Keep watch for other breakfasts and upcoming events.

School Supply Drive

With the help of local school administrators and teachers, we are collecting school supplies for students in need. This past Sunday (8th) student supply lists were given out similar to a Christmas Angel Tree Program. Church members will purchase the needed supplies for each student. Beyond the particular students that were identified, additional supplies can be donated and will be stored by teachers to be given to students as needed. You can get involved by purchasing and donating supplies from these lists:

Elementary

• small bottles of Elmer's glue
• small plastic school boxes
• 3-prong pocket folders
• facial tissue
• 1" 3-ring binders
• pencils
• crayons (16 or 24)
• color pencils
• cap erasers/pink block erasers
• small scissors
• spiral notebooks
• glue sticks

Secondary

• black/blue ink pens
• mechanical/wood pencils
• erasers
• 1" 3-ring binders
• loose leaf paper
• spiral notebooks
• 3-prong pocket folders
• facial tissue
  

Deadline for donations of supplies: 8/15/10.

If shopping the latest back to school sale is not your preference, the church is also taking donations to purchase backpacks. Each identified student will be given a backpack filled with the appropriate supplies for their age. The backpacks are being purchased all together with donations received at church. Please give.

Too many children go without basic needs, including supplies that allow them to be successful in school. We want to remind these children they are loved- both by God and by our church community.
