1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 & JAMES 1:12 PRINCIPAL RAY HELMUTH VAN BUREN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PUMC welcomes the staff and faculty of Van Buren Elementary School and the staff of PUMC’s own Weekday Children’s Ministries to worship this weekend to celebrate their service to the children of Plainfield. 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. We welcome Van Buren Elementary School Principal Ray Helmuth to bring the message. We hope worship and fellowship today are a blessing to all, especially children, students, their families, and all teachers and education workers.
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 (NRSV) Blessed is the person who remains steadfast under trial, for when they have stood the test they will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
JAMES 1:12 (NRSV)

PUMC CELEBRATES SERVANT SUNDAY, SEPT 16 On Sunday, September 16, PUMC will celebrate the many ministry servants that lead and staff the ongoing, internal ministries of PUMC. Because of the faithful, committed, generous service of many, many individuals, PUMC is able to offer exceptionally high quality worship every Sunday; faith formation experiences for all ages such as K-5 Bible Explorers, youth ministries, and adult learning classes and small groups; welcoming ministries such as greeters, ushers, and Sunday morning coffee; quality communication and administrative support; and so much more. Â In worship on September 16, we will give God thanks and praise for all God is doing through all of the servants here at PUMC. Ministries will have displays set-up in the lobbies to tell their stories and invite participation. And we will celebrate our life of faith shared and lived out together here at PUMC.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES School supplies are still needed for local students. Please place your donations of general classroom supplies in the Donation Depot across from the main office at PUMC (near door # 2). Many local students will thank you for your generosity!
