Children and Youth Ministry

At PUMC, our children and youth ministries focus on the belief that all children and youth can grow in their understanding of the Gospel and become better equipped for daily living as faithful Christian disciples.  Sunday School at PUMC is for Pre-K through 7th grade during the 10 a.m. Worship Service on Sunday.  For more information, contact Christa Zaldivar at 917-386-8599.

Mighty Knighties: Pajama Drive

This year our VBS focus is serving others through Faith and Action! Our Mission project is to collect pajamas for children in foster care.

Our goal is to collect 25 pajamas to give to our Covenant to Care Social worker for distribution. Will you help?

Thank you for making a child’s night a little more comfortable.

We will have a collection box on the altar.

Please bring in all pajamas by Thursday August 12, 2021.
