Bearing One Another's Burdens
If you or someone you know at PMC is facing financial need, please let us know. |
In the midst of this unsettling time we are committed to caring for each other and to 'seeking the peace of the city' (Jeremiah 29:7). If you or someone you know at PMC is facing financial need, please let us know. We can offer help through our Care Fund and through the Sharing Fund of Everence.
If you are able to offer financial support we invite you to give to the Care Fund at PMC. We also encourage you to support our local community partners (Street Roots, Mainspring, Nightstrike, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon) and the work of the church that stretches globally (Mennonite Central Committee, Mennonite Mission Network). All of your gifts can be given through the church. Make sure to designate where the money is to go. Thank you! |

Advance Directives are Not Just for Old Folks
Advance Directives help us make crucial decisions now about end-of-life health care choices that our families and doctors may be required to face later on our behalf. When we are younger it is easy to imagine that we have plenty of time, but in the midst of this pandemic it is important that each of us fill out an Advance Directive. The Congregational Care Group of PMC wants to help. They have a planning guide and the advance directive forms that can be sent to you. Three people have also volunteered to work through the form with you and/or to answer any questions you have (Alison Nelson, Leon Eshleman, Karin Weaver). Contact the PMC office if you would like to have an Advance Directive form sent to you or if you would like to have one of these volunteers contact you.
Funeral planning
As Christians we know that dying is part of living. We place our hope in Christ through whom we know the enduring love of God that is with us in life, in death, and in life after death. Knowing that one day our natural life will end, please use this worksheet to help your church leaders and those who are near to you know how you would like to be remembered.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is grounded in Jesus’ command to love one another. Through one-to-one caring relationships, those who are hurting or experiencing transitions receive the love and care they need to support them.
Everyone goes through difficult times. Having someone to care, to listen, and to share God’s love with you can help you get through the confusion, stress or loneliness you may be experiencing.
