No pedicures required, but please come with clean feet and appropriate footwear; women are encouraged not to wear stockings or pantyhose. We will use warm washcloths to wipe one another’s feet, and assistance will be available if needed.

Good Friday Tenebrae Service with Full Worship Choir

All are welcome to join us for a deeply moving Good Friday Tenebrae service of darkness on March 29 at 6pm.

Together, let’s walk in the footsteps of Christ, embracing the solemnity of Good Friday and the promise of Easter’s dawn. We look forward to sharing this sacred experience with you.

Habitat's Apostles Build

​It is Spring time, which means it is also Apostle's Build time for PUMC. Each Spring we partner with Habitat for Humanity and many other churches in our area to construct a home that will be purchased by someone in our community who has worked hard and met the criteria for purchasing a home through Habitat. This year's future homeowner Shante McLaughlin is a true light in this world. Please consider working alongside Shante and many of your sisters and brothers from PUMC on any or all of our 3 Apostle Build days: May 9 - 11. All who wish to work need to register on the Habitat website. Register here.

​If this is your first time registering, you will need to create an account. Return volunteers can login using their already set up account. Once logged in, click the big blue VOLUNTEER button, scroll through the calendar and select the day(s) you wish to work from May 9 - 11.
