THE BISHOP IS COMING!
Our resident bishop, James King, will be with us to preach on May 20, 2012. While he’s here I want you to NOTICE HIS  “LAPEL PEN”. Each bishop in the UMC wears a symbol, or logo, that represents the bishop’s role. The Bishop's Crest with its shepherd’s staff points to the bishop as a chief shepherd of God's flock and reminds us that loving care should motivate all administrative decisions. Although this crest exhibits the most ancient of Christian symbols, a bishop today must serve Christ and the Church in the most contemporary setting.
Bishop James R. King, Jr. is the chief shepherd of the South Georgia Annual Conference. Earlier in his ministry he was pastor of churches in Alabama, California and Tennessee. During his tenure in the Tennessee Annual Conference he also served as a District Superintendent and Conference Council Director. Elected bishop in 2000, Rev. King served the Louisville area (which includes the Kentucky and Red Bird Missionary Conferences) for 8 years before coming to South Georgia in 2008. Bishop King and his wife, Rose, reside in Macon, and have two sons and one daughter plus two grandchildren.
Hope to see you at 9 or 11 A.M. on Sunday, May 20 when Bishop King will be with us to preach God’s Word here at PUMC.

During the first week in April, the Methodist Men shipped 18 boxes to our new unit in Afghanistan, the 1st Marine Corps Radio Battalion, commanded by Major Chris McAllister (of Byron).
The next shipment will be in early May. We are collecting: Beef Jerky, Power Bars, Powdered Drink Mixes and current Magazines.
Unused Greeting Cards Needed!
Do you have unused greeting cards with envelopes that you won't be
using? If so, please donate them to the Sweet Peas (People Excited About
Serving) led by Cathy Shaw. A new ministry has been started to provide
greeting cards to detainees at the McEver Center. This is an easy way for the
men to stay in touch with their children. The cards can be any kind, including
Christmas and note cards. These cards can be dropped off at the PUMC Church
Office. Thanks for your help.

The Missions Committee wants you to be in the know about the mission work of PUMC. This month we are asking for help in the area of Missions. . . .
Relay for Life: Plans are underway for this year’s Relay for Life Team. The Relay will be held on May 18th and 19th at the Georgia National Fairgrounds. The theme this year is camping. We are in need of a motor home or a camper for our campsite. The Relay for Life team consists of: Linda Mason, Anita Williams, Lynne Phelps, Hatsie Kinsley and Martha Johnson.
CenterStage for Christ donated $3,000 to Relay for Life. The money came from the proceeds of their last production, Aunt Pinky's Place.
The Relay for Life Committee will host the Wednesday Night Supper program on May 2nd. You will be able to make donations and purchase luminaries that night.
We are collecting used eyeglasses, hearing aids, and cell phones for the Centerville Lion Club. Alvalyn Pope is heading this up. Boxes have been placed in the church office and Sunday School Classes.
The Children and Youth are collecting aluminum pop top tabs. We will turn these in and let the children and youth decide which mission the money should be donated to. You can drop the tabs off at the church office.
As you can see, your Missions Committee is very busy and needs your help. We always need your prayers as well. If you are interested in helping out with any of these jobs, contact Linda Mason @
478-997-1582 or evanmason@comsouth.net
