June 2020
We are a Worship+2 church, which means we worship, learn, and serve! Below we are listing ways to serve our congregation, community, and beyond during the COVID-19 outbreak. Thank you for continuing to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
SERVE OTHERS
PUMC Missions
Even though we are unable to meet and worship together, the mission team still has ongoing ministries and missionaries to support. Please remember to continue to support missions by writing missions in the memo line of your check or you can give to missions online .
AmazonSmile customers can now support Pinehurst United Methodist Church in the Amazon shopping app on iOS and Android mobile phones! Simply follow these instructions to turn on AmazonSmile and start generating donations.

  1. Open the Amazon Shopping app on your device
  2. Go into the main menu of the Amazon Shopping app and tap into 'Settings'
  3. Tap 'AmazonSmile' and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process

For every purchase made, AmazonSmile donates .05 % to PUMC's pastor's discretionary fund.
UMCOR COVID-19 Response
We know the simple act of handwashing can stop the spread of COVID-19. However, clean water is not available in all communities—even in the United States.
One of the recipients of an UMCOR COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund grant is Red Bird Mission, located in an isolated, rural area of the Appalachian Mountains. They have received funds to provide food, PPE, and handwashing stations, all vital in the fight against COVID.

Every day, UMCOR is receiving urgent requests for assistance from local churches, annual conferences and not-for-profit agencies committed to alleviating the suffering for vulnerable populations.

Responding to people’s needs during a crisis is why UMCOR was established 80 years ago and why its meaningful ministry continues. Click here to donate.
Donate Crackers & Fruit Cups
We will still honor our weekly commitment to the Food Bank to provide 100 cracker packs and 60 fruit cups to provide snacks for children and seniors in need. Donations can be left in the plastic bin by the front door of the church. They will be picked up daily.
Coalition for Human Care
The Coalition is pleased to announce that effective June 15, they will resume walk-in hours for residents in need of assistance. The donation center will resume accepting in-kind donations on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am - 4 pm and Saturdays 9 am - 12 pm. Read more.
Another way to Support the Coalition for Human Care
We are selling PUMC logo hats for $25 with all proceeds to benefit the Sandhills Coalition. Orders must be received by June 24.

BE SERVED
Pastor's Discretionary Fund
If you find yourself experiencing financial hardship during this difficult season of social distancing, please do not hesitate to contact Pastor David directly to discuss your need and how our church might best support you. All conversations are confidential, and all assistance comes from the continued generosity of our congregation.
Congregational Care
“…serve one another in love…” –Galatians 5:13
In this uncertain and challenging time, the Congregational Care Team is here to assist our brothers and sisters in Christ. We have volunteers in place who are available to run errands and grocery shop. If you have a specific prayer need, email your request to  pmartin54@nc.rr.com , and our team will pray for you. We will continue to reach out through cards and calls.

F3 Concierge Services
Under normal times, the men of F3 Sandhills are part of a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. In times like this, we mobilize to serve our community.

We are offering a free, personalized, no-contact concierge service to pick up and deliver your prescriptions, groceries, or take out meals within the Southern Pines, Pinehurst and Aberdeen communities.  Click here to learn more.
