Youth Ice Skating Event
All youth are invited to an ice skating event on Saturday, May 19th from 3:00 pm to 4:15 PM. Since the rink will be opened by 3:00 PM, it would be best to come around 2:45 PM for rental and preparation purposes. The fee is $ 6.75 plus $ 2.25 for rental.

Welcome to Sky: Where all things are possible with God!
During the week of June 18-22, our church will soar into the Sky…Sky VBS, that is! Kids will worship God through songs and prayer, experiment with Sciency-Fun Gizmos, and discover life-changing Bible truths in fun and memorable ways. Register Here.
To have the best adventure possible, we need lots of volunteers who can give some time, energy, and love to the kids who will attend. We believe that God will use this incredible program to reach many children with the message of His love, so please prayerfully consider your role in Sky VBS. Contact Abigail Bazzel @ vbs@pitmanumc.org.

E-Prayer Warriors Needed...
The phone prayer chain has been a vital part of our fabric for many years. Personal crisis arrive, people indicate that they are in need of prayer, and our web of prayer warriors springs into action. To augment this, we have also estabilished a web of prayer warriors using email. When a prayer request is received, either from the web or via the phone prayer chain, our e-Prayer coordinator will send a message to our "e-Pray'ers." God knows the specifics of the person's needs, but it's up to us to lift them to His throne of grace. If you would like to become an "e-Pray'er" just send an email to prayer@pitmanumc.org indicating your interest, and you wil be added to our "e-Pray'er" email list.
If you or a loved one are in need of prayer, fill out the prayer request form and your name will be lifted in prayer. You don't have to include any details. You will be prayed for in confidence. If you would like your loved one to receive a card from our Prayer Card Ministry (see below), please include their address in the comments.
Know someone is need of a Prayer Card?
Please stop by the Card Ministry display and fill out an index card with name and address. We will write, pray and mail a special card. If you have unused cards to donate, I would appreciate them, too. Kaitlyn Weatherby.
