Now more than ever, we need to let in the light in our communities. 🌟We are delighted to share with you the completed "Let in the Light" video, a true PPUMC community effort!

This song can be learned and taught in a flash, is kid-friendly, has a small vocal range, simple chords, and a gently swaying rhythm. Leave it as is, or vary, extend, harmonize, add instruments.

Looking to use this song with your own group? The music, along with some notes, are available for download and sharing on our website at https://www.prospectparkchurch.org/letinthelight/. Please share, sing, and let in the light wherever you can! 🎶

A brief word from Pastor Paul about Maundy Thursday and Good Friday before our Holy Week service tonight at 7pm.

🗓️ Join us on Thursday, April 2 at 7:00pm for "Funeral for a Friend: A Holy Week Service". While this service will be taking place on Maundy Thursday, it is not a Maundy Thursday service. Pastor Paul Baudhuin will deliver a brief message amidst a series of tributes from Nicodemus, the Samaritan Woman at the Well, Thomas, and Mother Mary. This service will be simple and reflective, with a hint of Tenebrae.

Hey, all, with the predicted snow totals, our lack of our own parking lot, and narrow, curvy, and hilly roads, we have decided to go with ZOOM ONLY WORSHIP TOMORROW! We will gather in Zoom-Land at 10amCDT.

Our worship and tech people along with Pastor Paul have adapted our service for Zoom only, complete with some songs that Pastor Paul lead will via his guitar and voice at his home, as well as other usual components to our worship.

As much as we'd prefer to open up for in person worship as usual, we just feel it's best to go with Zoom worship tomorrow. You can connect Sunday at 10:00am CDT via this link!

Hey, Neighbors, perhaps you've heard about this, but there are vigils planned for 7pm tonight in our neighborhood. See the image attached.

Also, our worship service tomorrow (10:00am) will be vigil-like of you're looking for such a space. There will be readings, poetry, a "hymn-sing", and a brief word from Pastor Paul.

Regardless, we hope and pray you find peace and comfort in these truly trying and terrifying days. As the sun sinks down, we live you the words from this centuries old hymn:

To you before the close of day
Creator of the world we pray
Your grace and peace to us allow
And be our guard and keeper now
