Christian Education
The Board
of Christian Education at PMUCC strives to teach the "New Birth
Covenant Relationship"--a level of spiritual maturity that the
Lord has set before us. We have a responsible objective to coordinate
programs that promote Christian education — e.g., Sunday School,
Children's Church, Youth
Fellowship and Vacation Bible School, and other related programs. From
selecting the materials used by the Sunday School, to the recruiting
and training of Sunday School teachers, our focus is in helping to provide
quality Christian enrichment to the whole person. Top

Missions (Outreach)
Missions' objectives are to engage in outreach and Christian support
to our congregation and the community through a variety of projects
and activities.
Our numbers may be small, but come with large hearts. Each year, Missions
targets provisions for such organizations as Mothers, Inc. and Seaton
House; we provide such items as hygiene products, school supplies and
food for homeless families. Missions donates food and
gift baskets, particularly during holidays, and we have been able to
offer supportive assistance to families within our congregation and
the community thanks to your donations and gifts.

Intercessory Prayer Group
Meeting on Wednesday evenings (5:30pm), this small group of "prayer
warriors" gathers at the church. Hymn-singing and prayer enhances
each meeting, with each individual having a turn to offer audible prayer
for anyone who has indicated a special need (by previously filling out
a prayer card). Members and friends may write their concerns (prayer
concerns as well as praises) on special cards and place them in a designated
locked box located in the foyer entrance by the Administrative area.
The Intercessory Prayer Group will offer up your prayers
and praises to God when they gather on Wednesday evenings.Top

to join the choir, please meet at the church on Wednesdays and speak
with the Music Director, Mr. Randy Hobbs. Top

Men's Fellowship
One of the oldest social organizations for men within the church, the
Men's Fellowship meets monthly for fellowship breakfast,
and to conduct meetings which focus on current and future activities.
Meetings are presently scheduled at 9:00am on the first Saturday of
the month, at the church (unless otherwise announced).
Among the current activities we sponsor are: the Annual Easter Breakfast,
Mother's Day Breakfast, and planned “outings” — e.g.,
a trip to a baseball game at Harbor Park (involving anyone interested
in going), and other activities.
The Men's Fellowship envisions a greater outreach
presence through interactions with other religious men's groups within
the Hampton Roads communities; particularly UCC groups. Such a camaraderie
and sharing of ideas can greatly enrich our fellowship and our goals
toward wider ministry, a closer unity among local UCC congregations,
and growth for PMUCC.
Membership is opened to male members of PMUCC, ages 17 and above. Friends
and guests are also invited to the fellowship breakfast.
