Registration Information

Bishop McKee has been in continual contact with Bishop Lowry to see how the North Texas Conference can offer the most helpful and appropriate support to the Central Texas Conference town of West, following the catastrophic explosion there. Bishop Lowry has expressed profound gratitude for the outpouring of concern and has noted that, while there will be additional opportunities “to live out our faith-based hope through generosity of spirit, time, and resources” in the long-term recovery efforts in the weeks and months ahead, the immediate need is for financial assistance.

Therefore, Bishop McKee is inviting North Texas congregations to receive a special offering for disaster relief in West. Checks should be made payable to PPUMC with ‘West Disaster Response’ on the memo line.

The Missions Committee is sponsoring two opportunities for you to help fill the food pantry at Irving Cares:

New Member Class: All you ever wanted to know about being a United Methodist

Dr. Bill La Barr will teach, lead discussion and answer all of your questions on Saturday, May 11, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Attend this class and become a member of PPUMC at the conclusion.

Our small group of fun painters is looking for more ’Students’ and a Painting Teacher to teach us every other month. We have had 2 Wonderful lessons with Susan Garden of Robert Garden Art Ent., Irving and will schedule more but desire an alternate instructor as well. Susan has started us in oils with a lovely seascape and a spring landscape with blue bonnets. Her lessons magically transform us into beginning artists! The painting circle will meet one Saturday each month; tba.
