Fifth Sunday Offering To Provide Emergency Assistance

Each week, the church receives calls from people seeking financial assistance for rent, electricity, gas and medicine. Because our budgeted funds for this purpose cannot begin to address the tremendous need, our Fifth Sunday offering enhances our capacity to respond. All cash placed in the offering plate on the fifth Sunday will be used to meet the basic needs of our neighbors. If you’d like to contribute by check, please note “5th Sunday Offering” on the memo line. Thank you for the generous support you offer to Pullen’s community ministries.

Come Jam with the Pullen Pickers!

August 29

6:30–8:30 pm in Finlator Hall

Do you want to learn how a music pickin' jam circle works? The Pullen Pickers will lead an open jam circle and want to encourage other music-playing Pullenites to join. Pickers will be on hand to lead songs and explain the process. Singing and harmonizing are a big part of it all. Songs tend to be simple with 4-6 chords.

Jam-friendly instruments include the guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, bass, and banjo. Other instruments like autoharps, dulcimers, penny whistles, and clawhammer banjos are also welcome. And you can even be a beginner on your instrument. Jamming is a great experience! Come join the fun!

For more information, email Noelle Schofield or text Noelle at 919-274-6626.

Dinner is $10 for adults and youth (grades 6–12), $5 for children (grades K–5), and free for preschoolers. Pullen children’s and youth activities are also offered during this time.

August 20 program — Meet Sarah Brim, Community Watershed Ambassador at Partners for Environmental Justice. Sarah will have an engaging presentation that explores the organization's deep-rooted history in Southeast Raleigh, its current initiatives, and the environmental challenges it tackles.

Together, we can foster a healthier, more equitable future for our community. 

Looking ahead: Weekly gatherings at The Table will resume on September 10. Join us to learn about the threats facing immigrant communities, bail reform, and how art therapy has been a kind of escape for those who are incarcerated.
