It is almost book club time again!  As our Wednesday nights continue, it's time to pick up the book (you can order it on Amazon) and start reading this fascinating book we will use toward the end of our Wednesday night gatherings for our book club. Following a recommendation, we have chosen to read The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance, by Jemar Tisby. We will meet next Wednesday, October 23 following our 5:45 meal to discuss, and the author will join us via Zoom!  
Join us for Madison the City's Scarecrow Festival Thursday, October 24 at Liberty Park from 5 pm - 8 pm  Serving at Madison's Scarecrow Festival is one way we live into our goal of being a presence in our community.

We will have activities for kids, candy to pass out, and postcards to share about upcoming PHUMC events. Wear your PHUMC t-shirt if you have one. Email Haven for more info or questions. 


'Tis the season to begin practicing for our Christmas worship services!
Last Sunday we began practicing, and we'll meet again at 9:30 am in the Garden Room Sunday. Kids ages 3 through 5th grade are learning songs with our Music Director, David White, for the Children's Christmas service on Dec. 8 and to join the adults for the choir cantata on Dec. 15.
After our singing time, the children will move into age-appropriate Sunday School classes. We always need volunteers to aid with our kids ministry.
To sign up to teach an individual class one Sunday, *click here

It's time to update your child's yearly contact information. This helps us keep the most updated and accurate information for your child. Please click the link here to fill out your child's form. 
*All volunteers must submit a background check before volunteering with children and youth.
