Christmas Cantata Rehearsals

Curtis Haley will be leading us in our Christmas Cantata again this year! Singers from Salisbury, Amesbury, Byfield, Merrimacport, Newburyport and the Good Shepherd church in Haverhill are once again invited to rehearse together as we prepare for an Advent concert. Rehearsals start October 19 and will be held from 4-6pm each Sunday afternoon at the Amesbury United Methodist Church.

Thank you for your support!

Thanks to your support, the People's United Methodist Church team raised over $500 for the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. Our team of 7 enjoyed walking and talking together on the beautiful crisp fall day.

This week's Bible Study is at Beverly's house on Wednesday October 22 at 7pm. We will be holding a Saturday Evening worship service on October 25 at 4pm.

Worship on Sunday, October 26 will be at 10am because we will be holding our Charge Conference jointly with the Merrimacport UMC. This is the day our District Superintendent meets with us and reflects on our ministries for 2008. All are invited! Here is the schedule:
8:30-9:45am PUMC Pastor Parish Relations Committee
10-11 worship at PUMC (joint worship with MUMC)
11:30-1 join us for a pot-luck lunch. MUMC PPRC will meet over lunch
1 - 3:15pm Joint Charge Conference

Please plan to join us for an important milestone in our church year!

October 6 Update - Walk Against Violence, Adopt a Family

Due to the upcoming Columbus Day holiday we will not be having Bible Study or Saturday afternoon worship this week. We will be having a Church Council meeting at 9:30am on Saturday, October 11. All are welcome.

A team from PUMC will be participating in the Walk Against Violence on October 19 to raise awareness and funds to support the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center. If you would like to support our team, you may donate at our web site:

Once again this year we will be buying Christmas gifts for a family as part of the Haverhill Department of Social Services "Adopt a Family" program. Our adopted family has seven children! If you would like to purchase a gift for either parents or a child, please contact the church. Gifts will be delivered in early December.
