Be assured that we continue to make every effort to keep you safe and comply with all existing guidelines with the help of our staff, volunteer greeters, and ushers.

To our beloved church family, There are no words to express our deep and loving appreciation for your outpouring on us during our "re-tirement" celebration! The event on Saturday was superb - from the food to the music, the spoken words, the gifts, and other displays of love. The Sunday drive by event was the icing on the (cup) cake. Everything done was the epitome of organization, COVID safe, and full of love. We are so grateful to our God for you and for the past 22 year...s of His grace and direction as we have sought His will in leading the flock at PAUMC. May He continue to pour out His blessings as you continue to love God, love people and serve the world! With deep gratitude and love always, Bill and Linda

Congratulations Dwight Spear!
