October 15th is Pregnancy and Infancy Loss Remembrance Day. We know that a great many people are affected by the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss, and that the grief from this is complex and isolating. On October 15th, our chapel will be open from 7-9AM, 11AM-1PM, and 4-6PM for those that want to come pray. We will have a votive station where individuals can light a candle for their child(ren) as well as a prayer card with guided prayers and resources. We hope all will be in prayer for those grieving this day.

Our Annual Charge Conference will be Sunday, October 18 at noon. The primary responsibilities of the charge conference are to review and evaluate the total mission and ministry of the church, receive reports, and adopt objectives and goals for 2027.

• Volunteer to be a greeter and a friendly face. You can sign up at phumc.com/tortvolunteer.
• Come and bring a friend or two with you! Hope to see you there!

In addition to honoring all of the saints who have passed in the last year and joined the Church Triumphant during Sunday morning worship services for All Saints Sunday, we will have a Service of Remembrance in the Columbarium on Sunday, November 1st from 5:00-5:30PM. We will worship together and remember all of those who have left us.
