Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

Last Sunday we continued our "Come to the Water" worship series with a story about a boat, disciples, waves, fear and faith. I hope to see you this month as we remind ourselves of the waters that name us and claim us. If your summer plans do not allow you to be present in person, remember, you can always engage in worship and give online. May we all come to the water.

July 24: Rev. Haven Boyd preaching Acts 8:26-39 “Baptized in Water”

July 31: John 4:4-26 “Stay Hydrated”

My family and I will be on vacation July 18-25. In the event of a pastoral emergency, please call the church office and Linda will pass on the information to the appropriate place.

featured Blessing of the Quilts. These quilts will go to children in distress, distributed by Catholic Charities and Southern Christian Services. Our PHUMC Prayer Quilt Ministry has created 70 quilts since July 2021.

Pastor Dawn also shared a thank-you letter from Becas con Bendiciones (Scholarships with Blessings) to whom PHUMC provided eleven scholarships for Honduran students.

In June and July PHUMC provided 15 $30 Kroger gift cards through its Good Samaritan Ministry to community members who requested assistance.
