Opportunities to Give and to Serve:
PUMC Transportation Ministry ~ for Rides to Worship, and the PUMC Medical Equipment Sharing Ministry. Whether you are in need of one of these services, or can provide assistance, you will find a blessing in participating!
* On February 16 during the Sunday service there will be a blessing of hat sets and children’s clothes, made by the Sew for Peace group, for Shed of Grace, Lemoyne. If you have any gently used adult items you would like to donate for their clothes closet, please place items in the basket in the narthex.
* February 16, 3-6pm – Help to serve a meal to our Daystar friends.
* Interested in giving a special financial gift to improve our church building? You can find some project ideas here.
* Need gifts for hard-to-shop-for friends and family? The Paxton gift card program is a great way to do your shopping and at the same time help Paxton raise funds to assist charitable organizations outside the Church.
* On the first Sunday of each month we have communion. On those Sundays, consider bringing non-perishable items to share with Manna Food Pantry. There is a bin for donations in the narthex.
* Saturday May 17, 10am-noon: Rise Against Hunger meal packing event. We need to raise over $4000 before the event, and build a large group of volunteers to pack meals.
Visit our online offering system here to make a one-time contribution or schedule a regular/reoccurring offering to Paxton UMC!
Adult study on Sundays after worship:
The Holy Spirit – What do you know and what do we believe? Join us after Sunday worship for Bible study and discussion to deepen our understanding of the Holy Spirit.
Join the Wednesday Study Group
A Study Group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 10 am at the Peach Tree Restaurant, 251 N. Progress Ave., Harrisburg. Pastor Gary is leading a series based on connecting the Old and New Testaments.
Come and join us for breakfast and discussion.
It’s a SWEET time of year!
Paxton church has a long-standing tradition of making Easter eggs. It is fun, a great way to interact with people and help support the church financially. Come join us each Monday morning in January and February. See Bill Toner to volunteer or to purchase eggs. Find out more here.

I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
– The Wesley Covenant Prayer
