Last Thursday, 20 more beds were built in our basement!
These beds will be delivered to children in September.
The dream of Beds for Kids Ministry is that every child has his or her own bed. This year the ministry has expanded to include other churches in the Madison area to help with funding, building, and delivering the beds, fully outfitted with new mattresses, pillows, and linens.
In September the Communion Offering will support the Beds for Kids ministry. Our funds are running low as we have the wonderful problem of so many beds being assembled and delivered recently.

Our Wednesday Re:Treat Nights resume Wednesday, September 10. Come enjoy a fellowship meal of poppyseed chicken in the worship center at 5:45 pm followed by activities for all ages at 6:20 pm. We will kick off our Wednesday night activities with another round of Bingo! Leadership Board will also have their monthly meeting following dinner at 6:20 in the Garden Room.
For our first few Wednesday nights we will have some cross-generational activities so we can get a gauge of who is attending, Jennifer can make plans for our Kids and new Bridge cohort, and we can get some things in place for our youth while our search continues for a director.
Wednesday, September 10: Bingo for all ages
Wednesday, September 17: Intergenerational Table Talk
Wednesday, September 24: Trivia Night for our Adults, Youth, and Bridge;
PHUMC kids (4th grade and under) will meet with Jennifer following dinner September 24 for their own time of fun!
Don't forget to reserve your place at Wednesday night supper by tearing off the reservation form in Sunday's bulletin and placing it in the offering basket, by using this link, or by calling or emailing the office by noon on Monday, Sept. 8.

Our Wednesday night book club resumes October 1 at 6:20 pm with David P. Gushee's The Moral Teachings of Jesus. I went to a workshop using this book and led by Gushee at the Festival of Homiletics this past May and was impressed by his faith and sincere desire to find a way for our faith to meet the division of our time through the person and work and words of Jesus. I hope you order a book, start reading, and join us when you are able.
We are doing it a little differently this time. We will have four meetings instead of one. Discussion of Part One will take place Wednesday, October 1, Part Two Wednesday, October 22, Part Three Wednesday, October 29, and we will finish it out Wednesday, November 5 with Parts Four and Five of the book.
