Children Maxisters - Watch and Learn Ray Helmuth • Isaiah 11:6
PUMC welcomes the staff and faculty of The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard Van Buren Elementary School to worship will lie down with the goat, the calf and the this weekend to celebrate their service lion and the yearling together; and a little to the children of Plainfield and to honor child will lead them. Children’s Sabbath, a day set aside on the Isaiah 11:6 (NSRV) church calendar to lift up the needs of children in the community and around the world. PUMC’s partnership with Van Buren Elementary School is just one way PUMC serves the children of Plainfield. In supporting and encouraging teachers and staff at Van Buren, we support and encourage the local children and families they serve. As PUMC serves as an encouraging partner with the Just Be Kind Kids Club, we empower children to change and bless their world. As PUMC serves community meals, helps local families with financial aid, and hosts early childhood and before & after school programs, we show the children of Plainfield the BIG Love of God. On Sunday morning worshipers will learn more about the students, staff, teachers and reach of Van Buren Elementary School as Principal Ray Helmuth brings the message. We hope worship and fellowship are a blessing to all, especially students and their families.
