DOLLAR OFFERING
The dollar offering for the first Sundays of April, May and June went to
support our three Young Lifers: Nick and Kathryn Tompkins and Ty
Waynetska. They are using this money to go to Young Life Camp. Ty
and Nick went to Canada and Kathryn will go to a camp in Oregon.
The UMM also made a generous donation for this effort. We love our
kids!

The Trustee Committee has been hard at work making
improvements to the building and grounds. We have new rain gutters
in strategic locations around the building, new bark has been put
down in the beds, the shrubs have been trimmed, weeds killed and
mowed, touch up paint, the hallway decluttered and many other tasks.
Our lawn is being cared for by Mahlon’s Lawn Care this summer and
he is doing a fabulous job. The building and grounds look great!

School Supply Fair!
Our annual School Supply Fair will be happening on Saturday, August
10th. We have ordered the string bags with money left over from last
year but we will need money to buy the supplies. We would
appreciate donations starting any time. Just mark your check or
envelope “school supplies” and we will shop for the absolute best
prices. We will need everyone’s help on that day so please save the
date! Sign-up sheets will be going around in the next few weeks.

WEEKLY HAPPENINGS

CHURCH CAMP, JULY 2019
It’s not too late to plan for summer camp! PUMC takes over Lake Wallowa
Church Camp in Joseph, OR one weekend a year. That weekend is July 19-
21, 2019. We will have delicious food, fun activities like crafts, campfires and
puzzles. We will also have devotions, church service and free time to explore
this beautiful part of Oregon. Make your plans, we still have room for you!

See Bob Steckley for more details!

HORSE CAMP FOR THE BOYS!
Edwin and Raymond are heading to Wallowa Lake Horse Camp in July
thanks to the generosity of PUMC folks. We held a delicious fundraising
lunch after church and along with generous donations from both the UMM
and UMW we were able to pay for the whole experience for them. We just
know they will have an amazing time. What an excellent mission!

Life Line Screening, a leading provider of community-based preventive
health screenings, will offer their affordable, non-invasive and painless health
screenings at Payette First United Methodist Church on 7/10/2019. Five
screenings will be offered that scan for potential health problems related to:
blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic
aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in
the legs which is a strong predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or
irregular heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a bone density
screening, for men and women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and
osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our member discount). All five
screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete. In order to register for this
event and to receive a $10 discount off any package priced above $129,

Special Thank You to PUMC,
Thank you for the recent gift to help local kids get the support and care
they so desperately need and deserve. Your gift will help provide over one
month of art room supplies and equipment for 65 kids. Your investment is
bringing hope to those that need it most, kids.
Thank you, Matt Sorenson
Executive Director, Boys and Girls Club of Western Treasure Valley
