SEPTEMBER 6TH
UPDATE 5/20/2020:
EXCITING NEWS!
Since mid-March our world became a different place. We want to worship together again. We want to be safe. God knows all of this and more. Your church leadership team has been in conversation on what our Sunday morning worship will look like going forward. It will be different than what we have experience before, but we are still called to gather together and remember our Sovereign God and the sacrifice made for each of us. We are taking steps forward!
On Sunday, June 21st at 9:30 a.m., our summer worship time, we will resume in-person worship! Porter UMC will open with a worship-only strategy which means the building will still be closed to outside groups. The basement is still closed to outside groups.

ALTAR FLOWERS
We would like to have Altar flowers decorating the chancel area each Sunday to help support various mission projects of the church that are close to your heart. A minimum of $20 is suggested for having a silk floral arrangement prepared
for display (the flowers are re-used throughout the year and remain in the church). Please fill out the form below and make sure you state what the flowers are for (in celebration, in memory, in honor of someone or something) in the message area.
