WHAT'S HAPPENING AT PEOPLES

Summer has come to Peoples UMC!

         For the first time in many years, Peoples UMC was privileged to march in South Portland’s Memorial Day Parade, while still providing free bottled water to those who gathered. 

         We also gathered to celebrate Pentecost and discussed the movement of the Spirit and how we may better live out that call to ministry and mission.

         On June 11, we will celebrate our graduates and Sunday School with an ice cream social. 

         As has been our tradition, we will be moving our worship into the less formal (and more comfortable) Ellis Hall on July 2.  This summer we will offer two message series.  The first will be “Summer Fruit”, a look at the Fruit of the Spirit in our lives.  This will be followed (beginning July 23) with the series “Eye On The Prize:  Television Game Shows,” where we will see what we may learn from such programs as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, The Price Is Right, Deal Or No Deal, and many others.

         During our worship time together, there are opportunities to share musical gifts as we sing, praise and pray together.

         As the summer moves on, we will also be collecting school supplies and, back by popular demand, the return of the Beanless Bean Supper.

         Also on the calendar is our Annual Yard Sale on Aug. 5.  Please watch for announcements regarding donations.

         Of course, plans for the fall will also be undertaken with new ministries and new opportunities.

         Throughout the summer we gather for worship 10 am Sundays.  We hope you will join us and invite your friends and neighbors.  It promises to be a fun, full summer at Peoples!
