​Hi Everyone!                                                                      January 11, 2024

I’m starting with some great news this week. The Hoods asked us to pray for Olivia Bybee who was fighting cancer some time ago and we just got word that she is cancer free! Amen to that! Her family appreciates our prayers.

More good news here. On Sunday, Mickey Newton joined our church last Sunday. She is a wonderful gift to PUMC. If you haven’t met Mickey yet, please do!

I have some more information about our church service with Vale UMC on Sunday, January 28th. Their church service starts at ten. If you’d like to carpool, please come to our church by 9:00 that morning. We will be sharing a potluck with them after the service. There will not be a service at PUMC that Sunday.

The United Methodist Men will have their monthly breakfast meeting at Erika’s Kitchen on Saturday, January 13th at 9:00. All men are invited!

The Ad Board will meet on Monday, January 15th at 7:00 p.m. The trustees will not meet this month.

Our District Superintendent, Rev. Karen Hernandez will be here at PUMC on Tuesday, January 16th at 7:00 p.m. for our Ministry Conference. The congregation is invited and encouraged to attend. The SPR Committee will meet with Rev. Hernandez afterwards.

Do you know that Lent is just around the corner??? To begin Lent, our Ash Wednesday service will be on Wednesday, February 14th at 7:00 p.m. The service will be held in the fellowship hall as it was last year.

Weiser Little Theater proudly presents its newest play…..Mom’s Gift. Our own Dianne Kinney is the producer which is an engaging comedy by Phil Olson. The dates are all in February: 8-10, 13 and 15-17. The Feb. 13th is a dessert only performance. You can get tickets at weiserlittletheater.org or by calling 208-549-9355. These tickets sell out quickly so act now!

We are in need of someone to step up to help with the Coffee Shop on Sunday mornings. If you think this might be your way of helping out, please let me know or talk to Mike Hall.

Our new praise song this Sunday will be All I Am. Click on the blue link and listen in and sing along. You’ll be very glad you listened to this one. Give it a try.

We have some prayer requests this week. A friend of Allen Crego’s was killed in a car accident last week on Hwy 95. Please pray for her family and friends.

Dalyce’s friend and former teaching partner Maria Clark lost her husband recently. Please pray for Maria and her family.

We received word this week that Don Essinger is in the hospital. He is very weak and has pneumonia in one lung. Please pray for Don and Letha and their family.

Pam Hardenbrook has a brand-new knee! She and Jim arrived at the hospital in a snowstorm and beat the surgeon there! Her surgery was successful. Pray for a complete and quick recovery for Pam and patience for her new nurse, Jim!

Please continue to pray for Irene Jeffries, Jim Warzyn, Shannon Osborn, Lis Williamson, Hugh Homan, Tory, Josh, Jan Bolin, Jenny and John and Jeanie Sandquist.

Now that school is back in session, please pray for all of our teachers and students. When you pass a bus or drive by a school, say a prayer for them.

Be careful on the roads. It takes a couple of snowstorms to remind people how to drive in snow. We hope to see you on Sunday.

Blessings,

Cris
