THANKSGIVING IN JUNE PSALM 100 REV. STEVE AILES
In a French opera that was published in 1892, a group of children rehearse a Christmas song in July, to which a character responds: “When you sing Christmas in July, you rush the season.” Since that time Christmas in July has been the title of a movie, a postal campaign to encourage mailing Christmas gifts early to military personnel, and an effort by retailers to boost summer sales. But what about Thanksgiving in June? How about a turkey and a family gathering during the summer to celebrate our many blessings? Or better yet, a meal with Jesus to give thanks for his presence and work in our lives. The transformative power of giving thanks should not be limited to one month per year. This year, let’s celebrate Thanksgiving in June!

2018 INUMC ANNUAL CONFERENCE REPORT PUMC gives special thanks to its Lay Members to this year’s Indiana United Methodist Church Annual Conference: Joe and Sandy Bennett, Larry Rudy, Zoe Wiltrout, and Anthony Swinger. (Anthony also serves as INUMC’s Central District Lay Leader and head of Central District Lay Servant School.) They attended and participated in this annual gathering of Indiana United Methodists along with PUMC’s appointed clergy. This gathering of nearly 2,000 United Methodists includes worship, business sessions, intentional conversations on topics of concern for the church, and connecting with persons, programs, ministries and mission projects of the church. PUMC’s Lay Members participated in all aspects of the event and report the following highlights of their experience:
• •
•
•
The rousing address by Indiana Bishop Julius C. Trimble on Friday morning. (Learn more about Indiana’s Bishop here: inumc.org/bishopjuliusctrimble) The theme for the Conference was “See All the People.” Bishop Trimble set a goal that by 2020 the Indiana Conference would be 100% “missional,” our mission field being people in the church and people outside the church. Bishop Trimble encouraged us to “Leave the building,” to see ALL the people. We were all encouraged to make a life-changing difference in others. Bishop Trimble pointed out that people are waiting on the church to see them. Of the 6.5 million people in Indiana, 4 million are unaffiliated with any religion. A moving speech that directed attendees to the booklet, “Developing an Intentional Discipleship System: A Guide for Congregations” by Junius B. Dotson, received with conference registration. Larry Rudy, commented, “I have read it now twice, and I am most impressed by the questions it poses for us as individuals and as a church. I applaud the section entitled, “Understanding & Rediscovering the ‘Why’ of Discipleship.” Viewing the short YouTube video at pumc.link/NgGgDx and reflecting on the ideas brought out by this booklet will give a new meaning to discipleship!” The enormous variety of opportunities to serve and be served that was present and represented in the Exhibition Hall.
Joe and Sandy Bennett reflected, “The Laity (non-clergy) Meeting was important to help us understand the Indiana Conference and how it functions, its size and all that is happening, and the coordination with other state conferences. We appreciated the opportunity to hear and discuss issues for both small and large churches within the Conference during intentional conversations at round tables. And we were impressed with the amount of time and knowledge that have been used to keep UMC current in today’s world.” To learn more about the Indiana United Methodist Church, visit inumc.org. And talk with any pastor if you would have interest in serving as a Lay Member for PUMC at a future Annual Conference.

CALL FOR COFFEE CANS FOR ANGEL TREE One valuable resource that is needed for PUMC’s Angel Tree Ministry every year is coffee cans. We decorate these cans for use in delivering home-baked Christmas Cookies to the Angel Tree children. Ideally, we would like to have metal coffee cans, but we realize that they are hard to come by. A viable alternative are round 240 and 270 cup plastic coffee cans. (We cannot use square cans or 210 cup plastic coffee cans.) Please drop off clean, empty coffee cans at the Donation Depot near the church office to help with this important part of the Christmas Angel Tree Ministry.
