April 23, Sunday night, PHUMC hosted a gathering of the Women's Ministry to watch a Kate Bowler live video presentation. Kate Bowler is an author and faculty member of Duke Divinity School.

Our next event is the Saturday May 6 Plant Swap at 10:00 am at Rebecca Olack's. E-mail or call to get her address and directions. Dig up a "passalong plant" from your yard to share during this year's Annual Plant Swap. Or, if you're not a gardener and don't have a plant to share, how about bringing a bag of coffee beans or a box of tea? (News flash: both are plants!) A favorite book to swap will be printed on (you guessed it) plant based paper! Maybe you are a cook with some recipes or a jar of jam to share? Not only are your recipe cards plant-based, but you are certainly using ingredients God provides from a garden. You get the idea. This is just a fun morning get-together where all are welcome. Bring something to swap, a treat to share, and the desire to meet some new friends and enjoy the company of those you already know. See you then!

Join us for Missions in May on Saturday, May 6 with the East and West Jackson Districts. Click the link below to register for this event. The five mission areas provide an opportunity for all skill sets to serve so we hope you'll join us.

A huge thank you to Landry Holland for her birthday mission project. She asked all guests attending her birthday party to bring a jar of peanut butter for this worthy cause, the MadCAAP ministry.
