PPM News

PPM is off to a great start this week. We have classes learning about Zoo animals, Birds and a few of our caterpillars are turning into butterflies. 

Our Pre 5 and Pre-K classes will be going to the Zoo in a few weeks for our annual Zoo trip. This is a fun day that the children get to spend with their parents and friends exploring the Indianapolis Zoo for the day. 

Our kids are excited to sing for you this Sunday. Miss Natalie has been working on two songs with them, and they will be singing one song in Spanish. We appreciate your patience and kindness to the PPM families while they are visiting.  Thank you for another amazing year, we appreciate everything the church does to support PPM families and staff.

2 Liter Bottle Collection

Janet McConnell is collecting 2 liter bottles for a project she is doing May 5th, at the Children’s Home. If you have some she could use for this, she will gladly pick them up or you can leave them in the box in the church foyer for her. Also, bottle caps are not needed.

Custodian

We have an opening to fill for a part time custodian. The position is anywhere from 10-24 hours per week depending on their preference to clean for PPM as well or just clean for the church. The pay begins between $15 & $17/hour depending on experience.

 

We will not consider hiring anyone in the church family or close to anyone in the church to avoid sticky situations that may arise in the normal course of employment. 

 

If you have anyone interested who isn't close to the church, please either email us or write it down and hand it to us. Do not just tell us about them at church as we'll need their contact information. 

 

Thank you in advance from your Personnel Committee:

101: Thou Shalt Doubt (Sunday, June 12th, 2022)

Image
OT Lesson: Judges 6:33-40 (CEB) Some time later, all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other easterners joined together, came over, and set up camp in the Jezreel Valley. Then the Lord’s spirit came over Gideon, and he sounded the horn and summoned the Abiezrites to follow him. He sent messengers into all of Manasseh, and they were also summoned to follow him. Then he sent messengers into Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali too, and they marched up to meet them. But then Gideon said to God, “To see if you really intend to rescue Israel through me as you have declared, I’m now putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece but all the ground is dry, then I’ll know that you are going to rescue Israel through me, as you have declared.” And that is what happened. When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j...

Gathering at the Well of Grace (Sunday, March 19th, 2017)

Bible Reference(s): John 4:5-42 Sermon by Rev. Terri Thorn During this Lenten season, we have committed ourselves to telling the stories of scripture in a number of different ways including telling them by heart, using dramatic readings, incorporating visual arts, and singing them in song.  After all, we can never hear the stories of Jesus' life too often; and the stories...in and of themselves...are enough.  They are all we need, in order to be the church.   This week's story, is...shall we say...almost, more than enough?  There is so much in this story that it is a challenge to know where to begin.  For one thing, it's really long...just ask Ben and Bailie...they will tell you...37 verses long!  It also covers so much theological ground that we could probably come up with a month's worth of sermons on it.  However, I promise to not try to preach them all in one Sunday!  Instead, for today, let's just focus is on the what happens at the well - th...

God Doesn't Care

Image
OT Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 (CEB) On this mountain, the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples a rich feast, a feast of choice wines, of select foods rich in flavour, of choice wines well refined. He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples, the shroud enshrouding all nations. He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe tears from every face; He will remove His people’s disgrace from off the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken. They will say on that day, “Look! This is our God, for whom we have waited— and He has saved us! This is the Lord, for whom we have waited; let’s be glad and rejoice in His salvation!” NT Lesson: Mark 16:1-8 (NRSV) When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another,  ...
