Journey With Us Toward Lent

Let's line the halls on the way to the SOUPER BOWL!

January 31 and February 7

The Missions Committee, the Children's Ministries, and the Wesleyan Academe are joining together to collect enough food for Irving Cares to line the hallways at PPUMC in support of the Youth Ministries' annual SOUPER BOWL CELEBRATION.

Please bring you donations of canned fruit, vegetables and meats, breakfast foods, dried pea and beans, pasta, instant potatoes, peanut butter and other non-perishable food items to the Ministries Center the next two weeks.

The Youth will also be passing Soup Pots around on Souper Bowl Sunday the 7th for monetary donations to feed the hungry.

Lenten Devotional-A New Way

Do you have a story or a lesson to share? Now is the time to start writing. We will approach the Lenten Devotional Guide in a new way this year. Instead of committing to write a devotional related to a specific scripture, you will be asked to submit one or more devotionals related to a scripture of your own choosing. Each devotional should be no more than 500 words long. All submissions are due to Rev. Dana Norton by February 11 at 5:00 p.m. If you would prefer a
scripture suggestion before writing your devotional, Rev. Norton will be pleased to assist you. Sign up on Sunday morning and make a commitment to share a part of your life with your church family this Lenten Season.

Mother/Daughter Tea Party

You are cordially invited to a mother/daughter (grandmother/granddaughter, aunt/niece) tea party on Saturday, the 20th of February from 1-3pm in Fellowship Hall at Plymouth Park UMC.

All ages are welcome but it is best suited for girls ages 3-9 years old. Please RSVP to Cori Bell at 972-255-4185 ext 205.

United Methodist Church responding with aid to Haiti

United Methodist Communications is working to provide timely and relevant information about how The United Methodist Church is responding to the tragic earthquake in Haiti and how United Methodists can support these efforts. United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship
with Haiti through the Methodist Church of Haiti.

The United Methodist News Service posted an initial story soon following the tragedy and will have ongoing coverage about United Methodist mission teams that are in Haiti, response efforts by the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and what local churches are doing to provide aid. Stay tuned to http://www.umc.org/ for more information.

If you would like to give to this support for relief efforts, please mark your checks in the memo line with "Haiti Emergency relief efforts" or. 100% of gifts to UMCOR through the Advance support the designated project.

Youth Mission Project to assemble UMCOR Health Kits

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has requested churches to organize health kits to support Haiti following the earthquake.

Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of natural disaster.

Health kits contain the following items. There will be boxes available at both entrances of the sanctuary and in the Ministry Center for your contributions. The Middle School Youth will assemble the kits on Saturday. February 13th. If you would rather have the Youth shop for you, please mark your checks or cash for UMCOR Health Kits, and place your contribution in the collection plate or deliver to Peg or the Church Office.

1 hand towel (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27")
1 washcloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toe nail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
1 toothbrush (single brushes only in original wrapper, no child-size brushes)
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages
1 gallon plastic bag

Music Ministry Helpers Still Needed

As you contemplate your Lenten journey this year, PPUMC would like to offer an opportunity of service benefitting your church's music ministry. The PPUMC Music Library (containing well over 1,000 anthems and 50 large works) is currently undergoing a major organizational overhaul, and help is needed to complete the project. Tasks include filing, cataloging, dusting, and organizing shelves, taking approximately 3-5 hours a week through spring. If this is a opportunity for which you would like to volunteer, please contact Jason at Jason@ppumc.org or 972-255-4185 if you are interested. Your help would be very much appreciated!

LENTEN PRAYER MINISTRY KICK-OFF TUESDAY FEBRUARY 16

6 P.M. in the Prayer Chapel

Join us for the 2nd annual Lenten Prayer Time sponsored by the Prayer Ministry. We will be meeting each Tuesday during Lent for an hour of quiet prayer and reflection time. The season of Lent is 40 days (not counting Sundays) beginning with Ash Wednesday and concluding at sunrise on Easter morning. As Rev. Dana Norton stated in last year's Devotional Guide, some prefer to think about "taking on" something rather than "giving up" something during the season of Lent. We could ask that you consider "giving up" one hour of time and "taking on" the discipline of a weekly prayer time together.

Even if your schedule doesn't allow for a weekly time, come join us for the first meeting as we specifically pray for the people of Haiti as well as our own people in special need of prayer and join together for communion. Call Ina Stevens at 972-313-0490 if you have a special need or prayer concern to add to our list.

During Holy Week we will again sign up for a Prayer Vigil as we each walk the way of the cross.

Make plans for the PPUMC Ladies retreat for February 26-27

It's time for our annual Ladies' Retreat! This year's retreat will be Friday, February 26th and Saturday, February 27th at the Embassy Suites in Irving.

Spiritual Ministries Institute announces Spring 2010 "SPIRITUALITY FOR A BUSY WORLD" series beginning February 23, 2010

The first of three Spring programs for our "Spirituality for a Busy World" series will be held on Tuesday, February 23, 2010.

Rev. Brian Hardesty-Crouch will present Feeling Satisfied. Often our culture leaves us feeling that what we "do" and what we "have" are not enough, even in our spiritual lives. Brian will offer us insights and prayer that lead toward true satisfaction. Brian is an ordained Methodist elder and spiritual director and the President of Holy Moments. The program will be held at 10 am - 12 noon at Midway Hills Christian Church, 11001 Midway Road, Dallas, TX, and also in the evening 7:00-9:00 PM at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 5100 W. Plano Pkwy in Plano. The Fee is $15/person and $20/twosome for advance registration; $20 and $30 at the door. Group Rates for 5 or more are available starting at $40. Contact Spiritual Ministries Institute at spirmininst@yahoo.com or call 214-934-3217.

Please see the attached flyer for further information on this program as well as those to be held on March 23 and April 20, both Tuesdays. A registration form is provided.

We look forward to seeing you! The Spiritual Ministries Team
