church that do not have means to prepare and cook food, and may be in
need of other necessities. Often, these folks are transient and are
unable to obtain help in other places. Our stock of food is in need of
replenishment. We do not want to send someone who comes into our church
hungry away from us hungry. Therefore, we are again assembling boxes of
food that can be given to families that are in need. We ask your help in
this important ministry. Items that are needed are: (pop top lids are an
asset but not a necessity.) The highlighted items are the items that we
need for every box and currently are totally out of stock. If you can
help provide any of these items, please drop them off in the church
office. Sign Language classesBeginning Sign Language classes will cover elementary concepts and

imagination. Alzheimer's/Dementia Support Group meets at PPUMCOne of the most difficult challenges to individuals and families is coping with dementias like Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's Disease and dementia create stresses for families like no other crisis. As life expectancy and the incidence of dementias increase, more and more families must address the changes that will take place. Families and caregivers meet monthly, at 7:00 pm on the third Thursday of each month in room 108, and develop a support system that will help maintain their own health and well being, and optimal care for the person with dementia. Led by Marty Graham, R.N., trained as an Alzheimer's Association Support Group Facilitator, we have benefit of the many resources of the Alzheimer's Association. For more information call Marty Graham at 972-252-8241 or email at m.s.graham@mindspring.com. PPUMC Cornerstone Garden offers gift opportunitySearching for a special gift?
