Hi Everyone! June 27, 2024
The annual UMM golf tournament went on almost without a hitch! I’m pretty sure there were more people there than there were on church on Sunday! Although it was plenty hot, everyone involved had a great time and the lunch was great. The winning team consisted of Gary and Leslie Olson, Glenora Wright, Caleb Smith and Ty Waynetska. I’m almost certain that Deanna Carr won the poker run! Congrats to our winners and a giant thank you to Mike Hall for organizing this event every year and for everyone who helped him. You are appreciated! The July-August Edition of the Upper Room is available in the entryway. Let me know if you need help getting one. No one stepped forward to organize the PUMC cookbook so for now we’ll put that on hold. If you’d like to lead this project, it’s not too late. Just let me know. Our group of AA has invited us to their picnic this coming Saturday at noon in Kiwanis Park by the shelter. Bring something to share or just show up. It would be really nice if we were represented. It was very nice of them to invite us. This coming Sunday, June 30th will be Pastor Mary Beth’s last Sunday as our full-time pastor. We will be having a potluck after church. This will be a traditional potluck so bring whatever you’d like. Dalyce and Deanna, this is the week! Anne DeBord has made her way to McCall for the summer! If you’d like to beat the heat sometime this summer, travel to McCall and pay her a visit. Most days are good for her but avoid Wednesdays since that is the day she plays Bridge. Her mailing address in McCall is P.O. Box 195 McCall, ID 83638. Her cell number is 208-642-7610. The Blessing Pitcher will be out on Sunday for the last time. Danny’s classmate has been accepted to Vanderbilt Divinity College with a generous scholarship but it doesn’t include lodging for he and his family. If you’d like to write a check, make it out to our church and write refugee on the memo line. We are starting to plan our annual School Supply Fair. It’s a huge undertaking for us and it takes everyone to pull it off. We had such a great turnout last year and we have very few supplies left. If you plan to donate for this great event, we’d sure appreciate it sooner than later so that we can finalize our plans. We appreciate you! Please continue to pray for the Parsons’ grandson John. He was able to get out of ICU recently but went right back in after needing another surgery. He is battling fluid and blood clots in his lungs among so many other injuries. We need to keep praying for him throughout his recovery. Be thankful that he is young and healthy because this will be a long road for him. Grace Hammon is recovering in Payette Healthcare of Cascadia after a fall at home. She is receiving physical and occupational therapy there and is in good spirits. She is working hard so that she can regain her strength and return home. She’d love visitors and cards. The address is 1019 3rd Ave. S. room# 107 Payette, ID 83661. Clarity Farmer, the Steckley’s granddaughter and her mom, Deanna will travel to Portland on Thursday so Clarity can see a kidney specialist. Please pray for safe travels in a not-so-great car and for medical answers. Clarity was a member of our congregation for a time when she was a little kid so we have a special place in our hearts for her. Please Clarity and Deanna in your prayers. Karen Sagehorn is asking us to pray for her friend Kathy Lish whose husband Dale passed away this week. Continue to pray for the moms of Pastor Mary Beth (Nancy) and Danny Crego (Karen) who are both home from the hospital and recovering. Keep these folks on your prayer list: The Taylor Family, Hugh Homan, Jerry Hall, Lis Williamson, Irene Jeffries, Jill Hanigan, Anne DeBord, Noah Howard and Peyton. We hope to see you in church this Sunday for the service and the delicious potluck. If you don’t already do this this each morning here’s an idea. Every morning pray, “Lord, help me be a blessing today.” What a great way to start the day. Blessings, Cris Payette United Methodist Church

I’ve been loving these few days of cool weather but I see that not everyone feels the same. Joan from the exercise class showed up on Tuesday in a full-on winter coat! I had to laugh since I thought the weather was glorious! Soon we’ll be longing to put a coat or a sweatshirt on. We had an Ad. Board Meeting on Monday evening so I’ll start by updating you on what we learned there. We will have an annual checkup with the District Superintendent, Karen Hernandez on Saturday, August 24th at 2:30. Ad Board members and SPR folks, please put that on your calendar. Everyone is welcome to attend the check in. Middleton UMC will join us here. The Finance Committee reported that our giving has been consistently low for the past few months. We know that the prices for groceries, gas and just about everything have been high and that affects us. Starting in July our pastor will be half time and that will help with our expenses. We will revisit this issue every month and will keep you informed. Our annual School Supply Fair will be the morning of Saturday, August 3rd. Please save the date since we’ll need all hands-on deck. We are just getting organized but we do know we’ll need money. We have $85.00 and very few supplies left over. If you’d like to donate money for our important event please write School Supply Fair on the memo line on your check. We appreciate it. The SPR Committee will meet on Tuesday, June 25th at 7:00 p.m. All members of this committee are encouraged to attend. If you are on the texting prayer chain, you probably have noticed that it has been a bit messed up. There is a limit to how many people can be on a text chain. James is working with Glenora to get it cleaned up. If you are not on the chain and want to be, please let me know. Hopefully it will be fixed very soon. Details about the golf tournament are finalized for next Tuesday and it will be a lot of fun. The UMM added a fun poker run for the golfers and lunch only people. Arrive by noon if you want to join in. There is no cost for the poker run. We will have a potluck lunch on Sunday, June 30th. It will be Pastor Mary Beth’s last Sunday as our fulltime pastor and face it, we love food! This will be a traditional potluck so bring whatever you’d like. It will be delicious! On Saturday, July 13th we are planning a BBQ and will invite Middleton UMC. It will be starting at 1:00 so please save the date. We are asked to bring side dishes, salad and desserts. Since we aren’t having Sunday School this summer, the coffee shop is opening a bit later. If you need an exact time, please ask Mike Hall or Ed Parsons. Mike and Bonnie Hall don’t have access to email anymore. Please call them when you need to get in touch. Mike’s cell phone accepts text messages. Danny asked us to consider donating to a classmate of his from Santa Monica, California. He was accepted into Vanderbilt Divinity School and received a generous scholarship. He is an immigrant from Pakistan and has successfully navigated a complicated past. He needs help with lodging for his family. His local church has set up an account to help pay his living expenses. If you’d like to contribute to this man of God, please put your donation into the blessing pitcher which will be out for two weeks. If you you’d like to pay with a check, please make it out to PUMC and write refugee in the memo line. Glenora will write a check to his church for the total amount of the donation. Cash is fine too. If you can’t give you can pray for this family, please pray for Anjlo, Lubna and their 8-year-old daughter Mojza. Sheri Hood has been in touch with the Osborns recently and found out that Shannon has moved from the care center in Weiser and is living with her mom, Sue. Keep them both in your prayers. I have an update from the Parsons about their grandson John Bell. He is still in the ICU but is able to sit up for a bit and can breathe on his own but it is painful with broken ribs and a collapsed lung. This will be a long recovery for John. Keep his whole family in your prayers. Danny’s mom, Karen is home from the hospital but still has breathing issues. Keep her in your prayers. Pastor Mary Beth’s mom Nancy has been hospitalized with a bacterial infection. She is responding to antibiotics and had surgery on Wednesday. She will get another round of antibiotics and should be home in a few days. Keep Nancy and Scott in your prayers. Jana Schaffeld had a fall while taking her dog Dallas on a walk. It was all Dallas’ fault according to my source. Pray for quick and complete healing for Jana. Dallas is just fine! Please keep these folks on your prayer list: Clarity, Noah Howard, the Taylor Family, Peyton, Anne DeBord, Jill Hanigan, Irene Jeffries, Lis Williamson, Hugh Homan, Jerry Hall and Grace Hammon. James and Pastor Mary Beth are in Tigard, Oregon for the UMC Annual Conference. Please keep them in your prayers as well as all the people traveling for this important conference. Danny Crego will step up to lead us this Sunday as well as deliver the sermon. As we heard from our pastor last Sunday, she is sometimes asked this question. “Have we failed? Why can’t we keep a full-time pastor?” We have not failed. We continue to serve our community and our church. We will continue to do just that and we will be just fine! Count on it! I hope to see you on Sunday. Let’s fill those pews! Blessings, Cris
Hi Everyone! June 13, 2024
The moving truck is here taking the Community Closet to its new location. I’m sad about this for a couple of reasons. I have loved having community people in and out all morning walking out feeling better than when they walked in. And maybe most of all I loved getting to know Mike and Bonnie’s daughter Teresa better. It will be lonelier around here for sure. The Community Closet’s new location is in the administrative offices for Payette School District. The building is on Center Ave that used to be Eastside Elementary. Here's a big thank you from the Trustee Committee to everyone who helped spruce up the church inside and out this spring. If you still plan to accomplish your task that’s fine and if you didn’t get a chance to help, never fear.. we’ll do it again in the fall. Some of you might have missed Shane Wright sporting a new gold medal around his neck on Sunday! His basketball team took first place in Special Olympics in Caldwell last Saturday. Tell Shane congrats if you get a chance. James and Pastor Mary Beth are back in Idaho where they belong. From all accounts they had a great time in Ohio and were able to meet with family and friends. Our pastor will be back in the pulpit this Sunday and James will be on his guitar! Welcome home! Don’t forget about the golf tournament on Tuesday, June 25th! We received an invitation to a concert Stars and Stripes featuring the Liberty Quartet. It will be on June 30th at 6:00 p.m. at Valley Shepherd Nazarene Church in Meridian. I posted the invitation on the bulletin board. I have an update on the Parsons’ grandson John following his accident last week. He had his last surgery and is breathing unassisted. All of his injuries will require time to heal on their own. He will be moving to rehab soon to continue his healing journey. The whole Parsons family thanks everyone for all of the prayers. Keep the prayers coming because his will be a long journey. We have a new urgent prayer request. Danny’s mom Karen has been admitted to the hospital for low oxygen levels and problems with kidney function. Please keep Danny and his dad Joe along with the whole family in your prayers. Lyna Wilkins asks that we keep praying for her friend Peggy Roach. She is fighting cancer. Keep these folks on your prayer list: Ron and Brenda Pennington, Peyton, Irene Jeffries, Jerry Hall, Hugh Homan, Anne DeBord, Jill Hanigan, Lis Williamson, Clarity, Noah Howard, Grace Hammon and the Taylor Family. Thanks to everyone for praying for my family as we had the graveside service on Saturday for my sister’s husband Bill. Everything went well and we were all glad to be together. My nephew Rick and his family are traveling back to St. Louis this week so keep them in your prayers. We are all blessed today with the gift of life. Thank God and let’s make something good today. Help others who need it. Think of others who are less fortunate. One positive thought can change your whole day! We hope to see you in church on Sunday. Let’s fill the pews! Blessings, Cris Payette United Methodist Church
