Women’s Bible Study – Luke
Apr 2 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Many of us believe that we aren’t good enough to meet other people’s expectations. Maybe we can’t wrap words around why, but lurking beneath the surface of the carefully curated façade we present in public, it’s there. Being missed and marginalized by others moves us to assume we’re not quite good enough for God either. The great news woven throughout the Gospel according to Luke is that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus. In fact, this riveting account reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger!

Living with Loss Support Group
Apr 2 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Traveling the journey of grief was never meant to be a journey we walked through alone. Our Care Ministry provides a weekly support group for anyone seeking to heal after a loss. Our leaders have training and personal experience with loss. Our winter session will begin January 9, 2024 at 6:00 pm.

 

This is a hybrid class that meets in-person and online. Please contact Vicki Krehbiel at vkrehbiel@plattewoodschurch.org for the Zoom link.

Saturday GO Serve
Apr 13 all-day

PWUMC has traditionally set aside one Saturday of each month as a day to serve together. Serving together as a church is an amazing opportunity to bless others and be blessed by going out into our community to show the love of Christ in real and tangible ways.

 

Hygiene kits are crucial for promoting health and well-being, especially in communities with limited access to resources like the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. These kits provide essential items like soap, toothpaste, and other hygiene products that have been identified as a need by our partners at the Bear Program.On Saturday, March 9th, you are invited to join others from Platte Woods Church at Senior Living at Burlington Creek to put together hygiene kits for the Bear Program. This opportunity is open to ages 7 and up (with parent participation). If you have questions or would like to sign up, please contact Brandi Molina, our director of Outreach and Mission at bmolina@plattewoodschurch.org or visit our Saturday Go Serve sign-up.

 

If you have questions or concerns about specific volunteer locations, please contact Brandi Molina, Director of Missions.

 

Register for your project below! Volunteers meet at their respective serve location on Saturday morning.
