Dear Members and Friends,

Here's the link to the October newsletter on our website: https://paumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/PORTLIGHTOctober2020.pdf . The document is also attached as a pdf if you wish to print a copy.

Please note the opportunity on page 4 to contribute to a scholarship created by PAUMC for black high school students in Bloomington who want to become teachers. There's also a fun update on September's "Parade of Donations" on page 4. Details and deadlines related to the 2020 Annual Holiday Bazaar ("COVID-Style") are found on page 6. Ministry here at The PORT is very much alive and well during this pandemic, so jump in where you can!

While in-person worship at The PORT remains suspended for the time being, we do have Sunday worship at 10:00 AM on both our YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/PortlandAvenueUnitedMethodistChurch) and our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PortlandAvenueUMC/ . If you miss the initial 10:00 am viewing, you may still watch on either channel any time thereafter...seriously, any time - night or day!

If you'd like to look back on previous newsletters on the website, you'll find them here: https://paumc.org/portlight/. And if you've missed a recent sermon, you may read it here: https://paumc.org/blog/ .

Peace be with you. ~Pastor Carol
