Deadline for reservation is today Wednesday, March 27. This year our annual honor/memorial Easter candles will help us in establish a Youth Trip Scholarship Fund to aid our youth in covering the cost of the various trips and retreats throughout the year. Money should never be the reason one of our youth cannot participate. To purchase your candle in honor or memory of a loved one click here. For each name remembered or honored, cost is $10. You can pay via check (mark "Easter Candle" in the memo), online, or via our Vanco mobile app (look for "Easter Candles"). Reservation forms are also available in the foyer of the Worship Center and in the Church Office.

PHUMC Adult and Kids Choirs celebrated Palm Sunday
| |

| The children enjoyed a day of fun assisting with worship on Palm Sunday followed by the Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to the volunteers that stepped up to help with the kids activities and those that brought supplies for the meal and over hundreds of candy and egg donations.
Easter Sunday School Party: Our children will meet in the Garden at 9:30 a.m. for an all ages (3 years old - 4th grade) Sunday School class. We will have a lesson and craft activities, along with muffins and juice to share. We need volunteers to lead and assist with Sunday School. To volunteer* click this link.
Children 2nd-4th grade are invited to attend acolyte training on April 28. We will meet in the Garden at 9:30 a.m. and walk over to the worship center together for training. Serving as an acolyte is a great opportunity for our children to lead and assist in worship. If you're interested or have any questions contact Haven.
*All volunteers must submit a background check before volunteering with children and youth.

| No Engage this Sunday, March 31. Spend some time with loved ones and with God to celebrate Easter!
254 in 2024: We're trading the 601 for the 254 and heading to Waco, TX, June 22-27 to serve and learn at Mission Waco, a Christian nonprofit committed to serving our neighbors in the best ways possible. Total cost is $300 with the next $100 due April 17. You can pay via the Vanco App or by clicking here. Final $100 due May 22. The initial $100 deposit was due March 1, but see Geoff if you still want to join us or if funding is a concern; we never want money to be why someone misses out!
Adults, come serve with our teens and see how God is moving in our youth ministry! Follow this link for a list of our upcoming volunteer needs, including Engage Sunday nights, Wednesday nights, and special events. Our soonest needs: volunteers and dinner providers for Engage, 4/14, 4/21, 5/5, and 5/12.
Youth Families: We need you to make the Cookout Fundraiser Lunch a success! We are asking each youth and parent/guardian to sign up for a crew slot to work as well as a food item to bring. All youth will aid with serving during the lunch. Click here to get signed up.
To stay connected to all youth events, get the Remind app and text @phumcy to 81010.
