Jubilate Ringers Needed
We need at least 3 more bell ringers in order to play 3-octave (moderate in difficulty
level) bell music successfully. All that is required is the ability to count and a
commitment to attend rehearsals! We meet every Wednesday in the new Bell Room,
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. We are hoping to ring in worship services at least once a
month beginning in November. Please consider becoming a part of this ministry in
the worship life of PSUMC.

3rd Annual PSUMC Trunk or Treat
“More candy than you’ll ever get
in your neighborhood.”
Wednesday, October 31
6:00-7:30pm (setup begins at 5:00pm)
Parking lot on the NORTH side of PSUMC
At Trunk or Treat members of our church family decorate and bring
their cars to the parking lot and pass out candy as we show the love of
Christ to the kids and families of our church and community.
We ask that you provide your own candy for your trunk, enough for
approximately 300 kids. Trunk or Treat will be advertised to our
church family, our CDC families, four nearby schools, and online to
the community.
Prizes will be awarded for the top three best decorated trunks!
Last year, we had over 250 kids visit 28 decorated cars. This year
should be bigger and better!
If you have any questions, call Ken in the church office or send an
email to kenknight@psumc.com

The West Texas A&M Wesley Foundation is a ministry
Remember
Daylight Saving Time ends
Sunday, November 4, 2013
that the Northwest Texas Conference is blessed to have. The
Wesley Foundation is responsible for continuing to lead
students as they grow in their relationship with Christ. There
are several strategies that the Wesley uses to build relationships
with students as well as disciple them. For example the Wesley
provides free lunch to students every Tuesday, they have a
thriving Tuesday night bible study that has recently out grown
their facilities, and through the effort of the Wesley there are
impactful small group meetings taking place all over campus. If you would like
more information about the Wesley or are interested in supporting their ministry
financially please see their website www.wtwesley.com or contact the Wesley
Director Mikey Littau 655-3535
