The Worship Planning Team invites you bring blooming plants for Easter Sunday service in honor or in memory of someone special! Help make our worship space beautiful with color to reflect the joy and beauty of Christ’s resurrection.
We ask that you consider plant types that can be planted (once it’s warm enough) in our outdoor chapel for our congregation to enjoy all spring and summer. Suggestions from our landscaper include: bleeding hearts, coral bells, shasta daisies, coreopsis, dianthus, pansies, mums, tulips, African violets. Goode Greenehouses, Canoyer Garden Center, and Earl May are all likely to have many of these available by April 1st. (No real lilies please, due to known allergies within the congregation.)
Please drop off plants on the table in the entryway from 6-8pm on Thursday, April 1 or on Easter Sunday (April 4) by 9am. To have your loved one’s name printed in the Easter bulletin, please be sure to click the sign up below by Wednesday, March 31st.
Polk City UMC has become well known for work in the fight to eradicate hunger. We support DMARC Food Pantry Networks and have a small community pantry in our parking lot. Click the links to learn how you can support each.
Pastor Melody is building a Care Team who will help make calls to follow up on prayer requests, hospitalizations, or to check in on those who may be lonely, ill or disconnected. This team of lay people will help to build a safety net within the congregation to make sure that we are staying connected to one another, especially when someone is in need of care. If you are willing to make a few calls a week, and enjoy connecting with others, please sign up! Pastor Melody will contact you with more information.
WORSHIP TECH MINISTRY
We are looking for people who are tech minded who would be willing to learn how to run the technology we are using to live stream worship. We’d like to have a group of people trained so we can create a rotation much like other worship servant roles. Don't worry - if you can advance slides in Powerpoint, or follow a script to press a few buttons to switch between cameras, you already have the skills we're looking for!
