If you will be with us in person, please note that our Covid Team has made an adjustment in our Covid protocols. St Louis City and St Louis County continue to document a steady rise in COVID-19 cases in our community. We are also experiencing this with church members and friends. Therefore, PUCC is moving from '"asks recommended" to "masks strongly advised" until further notice.

The Memorial Service will take place here at 3pm on Saturday, July 30.

We will also be on Facebook Live.


Cookies! Barb loved cookies! We will have a Cookie Table after the Memorial Service. Due to the high level of Covid in the community, we won’t be eating and drinking together after the service, so we will send you home with some yummy treats. If you would like to add to the cookie extravaganza, please drop them off anytime next Friday – on the long table under the bulletin board in the Gathering Space. Thank you... If you need the front door code, just ask!

This Sunday!

Join us after Sunday School from 11:15am-12pm in the Heritage Room with Annie’s Hope (formerly The Center for Grieving Kids) --- an  experience filled with compassion and gratitude.

Katie and Alex from Annie’s Hope will be with us to talk about grief and how to cope with it and how we can be a more non-anxious, supportive presence to others who are grieving. All ages are welcome! This will be an interactive conversation that we know will be a blessing to each and all of us. It will help us think about and talk about Barb and other griefs in our lives.

If you aren’t able to be physically present with Annie’s Hope, you can participate virtually on Zoom

Grizzlies Baseball Game

Sunday, August 21 | Gametime is 5:45pm


Take me out to the ballgame! Cheer on our Gateway Grizzlies with a dozen or more PUCCers as they face the Windy City ThunderBolts!


The Gateway Grizzlies are a professional baseball team based in the St. Louis suburb of Sauget, Illinois, in the United States. The Grizzlies are a member of the West Division of the Frontier League, which is a partner league of Major League Baseball.


This is a much more manageable excursion than going to a Cardinals game... so if you enjoy baseball and/or want an 'easier' adventure, this is the opportunity for you.


Please reserve your ticket(s) by contacting PUCCer Blake Lyons via phone/text 314-681-0620.

Tickets are $16 each. Please make checks to PUCC with Grizzlies in memo.

We can also work out carpooling a few days ahead.
