Playlist: The House of God Forever Psalm 23 Rev. Elizabeth Gilbert
Many days it seems that our goal is to pack in as much as we can. And to be fair, there is much expected of us on any given day - - jobs, kids, house, youth sports, after-school activities, out with friends, visit the family, get groceries, stop at the bank. Whew! It’s exhausting just thinking about all that we have to do! It’s (mostly) all good, and we wouldn’t trade (most of) our lives for anything different. But we also have days when we wonder if we can keep up the pace. We find ourselves overwhelmed by all that we want and need to do and wonder if we’ll ever have another peaceful moment to enjoy. Some dream about that peaceful time that is still years down the road... “I’ll have plenty of time to rest and relax after the kids are grown and gone.” Or we rationalize our break-neck work pace with, “When I retire, I’ll have plenty of time for rest.” But what about right now, today, this week? Peace and quiet is not just something to wish for. Peace and rest is something Jesus offers us as an antidote to the hectic, stressful life we live everyday; it’s a gift he wants us to enjoy with him right now. Take a moment, lie down in some soft grass, listen to the babbling of a nearby brook... let God restore your soul and comfort your spirit as you rest with him, in the house of the Lord forever...
Today’s Scripture The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
We are so glad to welcome you to worship this morning! If you are new to PUMC, you are invited to stop by the Welcome Center located in the south lobby. A PUMC member is there to welcome you and answer your questions. In Clayton Hall (north end of building) you’ll find refreshments and a place to chat and meet people. Please make yourself at home.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
Give Blood Fall Food Drive PUMC’s Fall Food Drive will begins today. Missions Committee members will be available to provide you with a grocery bag to fill with items from the attached list. Please fill as you are able and return to PUMC. Delivery of these items to area food pantries will begin November 5. Hungry persons will appreciate your generosity!

You are invited to Friday Morning Bible Study for learning and serving! The Friday Morning Bible Study group just began a new six-week study on the biblical book of Romans. You can still join - all are welcome! Contact Lynn Blosser through by email at lblosser@ pumc.org, via the church office (317.839.2319), or join the group in the Koinonia Room, Friday mornings, 9:45 a.m. The group is also collecting new and used candles to be used to provide light and warmth to the homeless served by PUMC’s Homeless Outreach this winter. Six-inch pillar candles can be used as is, however, we also appreciate candles that are smaller or in glass jars which will be melted into a more usable form. Please bring candles to the marked container in the Donation Depot just across from the Church Office, near door #2. This candle collection will be ongoing through the winter. Thank you for sharing God’s love and warmth with these candles!

Angel Tree Mission PUMC shares God’s BIG Love with the children of incarcerated parents each Christmas through the Angel Tree (Prison Ministry) Mission as we provide gifts, cookies, and Bibles for these children. Members of the congregation choose a child from the “Angel Tree” in the main lobby, purchase and wrap the gift. Once returned and sorted, these gifts are delivered to the children on behalf of their incarcerated parent. There are many opportunities to be involved with this mission: Choose a name and buy a gift. In the main lobby in the coming weeks (Nov. 19 & 26 and Dec 3) pick a name off of the Angel tree and purchase a gift using the info on the angel. Wrap the gift in a box. Return the single, wrapped item to PUMC by noon December 10. Bake Cookies. Two and one-half dozen homemade cookies are delivered to each Angel Tree home. The kids love to eat them while opening their Christmas gifts! Deliver cookies to PUMC by 5 p.m., December 15.
