Sunday Worship on May 25th at 9:30 a.m.

In-Person and Online

This Sunday we continue our series called "Touch the Earth Lightly." We will again hear an excerpt from the end of John's vision recorded in the book of Revelation. In this passage, John uses the striking image of a tree which produces abundant fruit and has leaves that are for the healing of the nations. Where do you notice a need for healing today? How might the image of a tree offer hope for that healing? Pastor Jeremy's message is called "The Tree of Life."

Sunday morning is the once-a-month worship experience called "Circle of Grace" that is a little different than our typical worship service. When you arrive, you are encouraged to sit towards the front and/or in the circle of blue chairs.

On Sunday, the Holy Cymbals Band will lead music (Sandy is away), David L. will read scripture, we will hear a poem by Mary Oliver, and Jeff will play guitar and sing "The Tree Song." We hope you can join us -- in-person or online -- for a meaningful time of worship!

TUMC Staff Appreciation

The Staff Parish Relations Committee (SPRC) would like to invite you to leave notes of appreciation for our hardworking and dedicated staff. In the lobby (narthex) there is a table set up with note paper to leave notes of appreciation and leave it in the labelled bag for the staff member. The table will be out for the next couple of Sundays. On June 8th we will celebrate our staff in worship and deliver your notes of appreciation.

How to Make a Change to a Recurring Pushpay Donation

If you have recurring gifts (donations) set up in Pushpay, but do not need to change anything, then no action is required. Your recurring gifts will continue as before.

However, if you want to add a recurring gift and/or make changes to existing gift(s), the link below will walk you through those steps. Also, anytime you are going to use a new or updated credit card you will need to update the payment information. Most of us make changes so seldom that we forget exactly how to do it.

You don’t need a User ID or Password, but you do need to know the mobile phone number associated with your Pushpay account, and to have that phone with you.

If you have questions please contact our Treasurer, Rick Beadnell at

503-616-8647 or by email: rbeadn@aol.com.
