Ken Allen and Boy Scouts delivered and assembled four beds for four kids, ages 5-12, this past Saturday. Bill Flynn says, "We are making a difference, Trolls!" (PHUMC "Trolls" are our basement workers who build and deliver the beds.) Scouts from our Troop 164 have been trained and are helping with the huge job of bed delivery, assembly, and setup. Contact Ken Allen or Bill Flynn for more information on how you can help provide beds for kids who have no beds. The code on the card shown above links to a YouTube video of Bill showing how to correctly assemble the beds.

The Bridge (our 5th and 6th graders preparing for Confirmation) gathered Sunday evening for a delicious meal and faith discussion.
We are in need of Extended Session volunteers. Extended Session is a time during the worship service that children explore and connect with scripture through activities, crafts and games. We offer Extended Session to children in K-5 and younger. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Pastor Haven.
Sunday School Volunteers: We are currently studying the celebrations in the Bible. There are three Sunday School classes from PreK - 4th grade, and all need volunteers; click here to sign up to teach. All volunteers must have a background check before volunteering in children's ministry.
