Strange isn’t it!? We’re already planning for the Advent Season! That means thinking about our annual Christmas wreath sale at PUMC!

Now is the time, to give your family and friends, neighbors and business associates a call to see if they would like to support your little church in their annual sale!
Make your list of contacts and stay tuned for the wreath order forms that will be coming your way through our church services, weekly What’s Happening blurbs, and the November newsletter. We’d tell you how many days until Christmas, but hey, it’s too soon for that!
