Special thanks to Debbie Campbell, Beth Estes, and Jill Womack for providing a pancake breakfast before 11am worship.

Holy Thursday passes, Easter Services Set

John 13:8
Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.”


Thursday evening the congregation gathered for a service celebrating Holy Thursday. Holy Communion was served and attendees participated in a symbolic Hand Washing- serving one another, and allowing themselves to be served.

After sharing the passages of Christ's final meal with his disciples, the congregation joined in Song and Word; exploring the passion story. There is no Easter Morning without the crucifixion of Good Friday. Let us wait, wait on the Lord.

Thank you to all those who attended and participated in the Holy Thursday Service. We pray it was a blessing.

An Easter Sunrise Service is set for 7am, with our regular worship service occurring at 11am. Please join us in the hope and joy of Easter Morning!

Thank You! Let's do it again!


Wow! Thank you for the overwhelming response to Coffee and Doughnuts. I guess we don't have to twist arms too hard to attract people for sweets. We had a great turn out. The coffee was already brewing when I got there. Thanks for those who helped organize and gather supplies. We'll do it again this Sunday.

Special thanks to Jo Ann Mahan, I mean Campbell, for providing us with that awesome bunt cake. It was delicious.

Please do not rush! We'll gather around 10:15. After some time of fellowship, we'll cross the street for Worship.



This is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. Come with a heart and mind prepared to hear the stories of Jesus' final days.

Coffee and Doughnuts Anyone?


Please join us for Coffee and Doughnuts in Plummer Hall before church. We would love the opportunity to spend more time getting to know each of you. All to often our weeks only consist of shaking hands and sharing "hellos" as people exit the church. We long to know all of you on a more personal level than can be achieved in the church foyer. So, let's sit and talk over sweets and drinks. We may even include some juice and fruit for our more healthy friends.


Please, drop by before church. We'll gather around 10:15 for fellowship before worship begins.

Hendrix Students Join Worship


On Sunday, March 7th, 3 students from Hendrix College joined our church for worship. As a part of the student ministry team based at the college, the students are actively involved in the United Methodist Connection. After a weekend retreat in Russellville, the group divided up to visit different local churches. Each student that visited a church participated in that church's morning worship. We were happy to welcome Emily Jones (N. Little Rock, AR); Sara Croissant (Denton, TX); and Conner McCutchen (Wynne, AR). During our service the students offered prayers, lead a responsive reading, and assisted in serving communion. It is a blessing not only to receive these people at our service, but to support the future of our church.

HealthKits for Haiti

After the recent earthquake, United Methodists and a multitude of other churches have come together to provide relief to the people of Haiti. These relief efforts include donations of money, short or long term mission teams, and collecting needed aid. Plummerville UMC spent two weeks collecting supplies for UMCOR healthkits. Some members completed kits themselves, while other members donated needed items. A small group gathered on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 7th) to complete the remaining kits and pack them into boxes. In total, over 80 kits were prepared and shipped to Haiti. This is a very exciting, tangible way to show the love of Christ.

The church also raised money through donations, but getting our hands involved gives us a sense of the tragedy in Haiti. We were packing simple things- towels, toothbrushes, antibacterial soap - but to those who receive this gift, these things are not simple at all. They are life saving. We pray that God blesses our efforts and those who receive His grace through these healthkits.
