This year we are planning our PSUMC Vacation Bible School "Family Style." The tentative dates are June 14, 15, and 16, from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Dinner will be served each evening, followed by VBS time, and there is NO cost. We will invite parents and children to attend, have their own family table, and do VBS lessons and activities together. There is a registration form online for families. We also would love for church members of all ages to attend! If you are not bringing children but would like to attend as part of the "PSUMC Family" table, you do not need to register online. Please contact Tara Bobb (704) 641-2575 or tarabobb@gmail.com by May 23. After May 23, we will know if we have enough interest to hold VBS. Thanks, everyone!
The office will be closed on Monday, May 24th in observance of Memorial Day.
The 80+ birthday celebration is on Sunday, June 7th following Worship Service. If you did not receive your invitation please contact Debbie Summers at 803-518-6858 or email at debbiebsummers@gmail.com. Remember RSVP by Sunday, May 31st.
