Native American Ministries Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday, May 10th in conjunction with our special guest speaker: Pastor Patty from Dayspring UMC!
https://www.facebook.com/dayspringnativeamericanunitedmethodistchurch/
This Special Sunday is a denomination wide celebration designed to raise awareness and remind United Methodists of the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society. A gap in knowledge exists in The United Methodist Church, in congregations and other United Methodist entities, relative to comprehending concepts of Native American life, cultures, languages, spirit, values, contemporary issues, and such. We affirm the sacredness of indigenous people, their languages, cultures, and gifts to the church and the world.
Giving envelopes for cash donations will be available at the Welcome Desk and at the back of the sanctuary. Please make checks payable to PUMC with “Native American Ministries” on the memo line.
Sunday, May 17th
What is Miracle Sunday?
The United Methodist Church (UMC) is a worldwide, connectional church. Miracle Sunday is a giving initiative in the UMC that is developing sustainable support for theological education in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines.
In worship, we will view a video telling a story of what this offering supports each Sunday during the Season of Easter leading up to the Miracle Offering on Sunday, May 17th.
Penetcost Sunday: This significant day, known as the “birthday of the church,” falls 50 days after Easter and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples, with many congregations wearing red to symbolize the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Memorial Sunday: On Memorial Sunday we will be honoring the sacrifice and service of those who died in the performance of their military duties or have since passed on after their faithful service.
We invite congregation members/family to submit names, photos & birth year-death year of those you wish to be included during worship. Please have all information to Dani by Monday, May 18th.
Graduation Sunday: Graduation Sunday will be celebrated on Sunday, May 24th during worship. We invite all 2026 graduates (8th grade, high school, and college) to submit names and pictures to be included during worship. Please have all information to Dani by Monday, May 18th.
