About PUMC Relay For Life
The PUMC Relay For Life efforts began as an offshoot of the Missions Committee. In 2009, the goal of $2000 was exceeded when almost $3000 was raised for the fight against cancer. In 2010, the goal of $2500 was exceeded when we raised $3436. This year, our goal is $4000.

Luminarias
Every Candle has a Name
…There’s a name of the ones who are still here.
There’s a name of those gone we still hold dear.
There’s a name, each one shining in the flames.
And we know, that every candle has a name.
-John W. Storey
Please consider honoring your friends and family who have battled cancer by purchasing a Luminaria (a container filled with sand and a candle, labeled with an individual's name) to be displayed at the 2010 Relay For Life. These candles also serve as symbols of hope to us as we continue to work for a cure for the disease that claims so many lives. $5 minimum donation (more is ok!) per name.

Houston County Relay Event: May 13, 2011 at Fairgrounds
Flamingo Flocking
For a minimum donation of $25 (more is ok!) you can inflict some pink plastic tackiness on the yards of friends and neighbors! See the photo album of past flamingo flockings!
The "Shepherd of the Flock" will plant a flock of 25-30 flamingos and pick them up a day or two later. The victim has the option, for a donation, to move them on to a new victim! This is our major fundraising activity.
Flocking Request Form [PDF]
Turn in completed form with donation to the church office.
Flocking Protection Insurance
Afraid of "Revenge of the Flamingos?" For a minimum donation of $35 (more is ok!) you can get flamingo flocking protection insurance! Get your insurance early, as we can't accept an insurance request if your house is already on the list to be flocked!
