Note of Thanks

Dear PUMC family,

It means so much to have the love and support of our church and church family as I finish up my first year of classes at Sandhills. I'm so incredibly grateful I get to be a part of such a special community. The gifts you continue to send during exams mean the world.

Thank you,

Missions Responds to a Community Need

Two weeks ago we received a request for blankets, sheets, pillows and/or towels for new students at Sandhills Adult and Teen Challenge. The mission team responded by providing 26 sets of sheets, comforters, pillows and towels. Thanks to your continous support of our Missions Ministry we are able to respond with generosity when a need arises in our community.

Thanks from Sandhills Adult and Teen Challenge

Dear PUMC Family,

Thank you for your generous donation of bed linens and towels. Your kindness and support mean more than words can express. These items will be a great blessing in welcoming new students in our program. It is through acts of generosity like yours that we are able to continue making a meaningful impact in the lives of those working toward recovery and restoration.

Andrew Peters, Sandhills Adult and Teen Challenge
