2011 contributions to the church must be received by the church office by December 31 in order for them to be included on your 2011 end-of-year statement. If you have questions, please contact Julie in the church office at 787-7763 or julie.lebria@pgumc.org. Please note that the church office will be closed on December 26 & 27.
Please join us next Sunday, December 18, at 7:00 p.m. for Christmas Piano by Candlelight. The Sr. High Youth will host a reception in the Fellowship Hall immediately following the piano performance. Don’t miss this opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the season.
All kids and their families are invited to the Family Christmas Eve Service on 4:00 p.m. on December 24. Everyone can participate as we re-tell the Christmas story and sing carols. We will have simple costumes on hand for the children to wear, but we encourage kids to come dressed as angels, shepherds, and wise men. Bathrobes and white t-shirts make great costumes.
Memorialize loved ones or special occasions by purchasing a brick for the memorial walkway in front of the church. The United Methodist Men are once again sponsoring the brick sale and will be taking orders until January 31. Bricks will cost $100 each – order forms are located in the pew pads. Proceeds from the sale will go toward purchasing new chairs for The Grove worship service. For more information please contact Mike Della Rosa at 264-4319 or sdellarosa@nc.rr.com.
Volunteers are needed for our 2012 Bread Ministry. If you would like to be a part of this hospitality ministry to our first-time visitors, please contact Jean Farrell at 847-5147 or pjfarrell@mindspring.com.
