Pullenites are invited to an important Summer Town Hall. This gathering will focus on how faith communities can support neighbors experiencing homelessness during the cold weather season through White Flag shelter operations. As we prepare for winter, your involvement can help save lives. There are many ways to get involved including:

 —Providing meals or snacks

—Donating supplies.

—Offering shelter space or volunteers.

—Supporting transportation needs.

Please register in advance and share the link with others who may be interested in attending this event. Your voice and your faith community’s presence are vital. Together, we can create a compassionate, coordinated response that ensures no one is left out in the cold.

Join ONE Wake for a powerful public assembly to hold local and state elected officials accountable for the commitments they made to expand affordable housing across Wake County.

In October 2024, over 1,000 of us gathered to demand bold action on housing. Now, we return to hear directly from our leaders:

— Have they doubled city funding for affordable housing?

— Have they identified public land for development?

— Have they followed through on their promises?

This assembly is a key moment in the next phase of our Homeownership to Equity Campaign. It will also help set the stage for future negotiations with Wake County on a proposed housing bond and expanded investment.

Every institution is expected to turn out in strength. Our goal is to match—and exceed—the energy and turnout of last October’s action.

Let’s show our collective power, and make it clear: We expect results!

Join this event for a transformative week of learning, worship, and community — working together to build a more just and peaceful world.

Pullen has reserved a spot for volunteers with Habitat for Humanity Wake County’s Beloved Build at their housing development on the southeast side of Raleigh. Please join other Pullenites as we help build a home for a family in need, in partnership with other faith communities. No construction experience is necessary; just bring water, gloves, and energy. Lunch is provided. Nine Pullenites attended our first build day in May and very much enjoyed the work and fellowship. You must be at least 16 years old to volunteer with Habitat. Register with Habitat and sign up herek: Jul 26 (OPP). Please contact Rob Thompson at rthompso@oberlin.edu if you have any questions.

Wild Goose Festival is a transformational community grounded in faith-inspired social justice. Wherever we come together, we learn and grow by co-creating art, music, story, theater and spectacle, engaging in a wide variety of courageous conversations with each other and with thought leaders and artists from other communities.

Register here for the festival. Use PMBC at checkout for 20% off Adult Tickets.

We are also excited about a new initiative for the year: WildSpace is a sacred playground for young adults. We are hoping to create a space for 18–25-year-olds who are passionate about our world but who may not be called to seminary or professional ministry. The best part is it is completely free for the attendees! 

For more information, please call or text Pam Hunter Dempsey at 706-491-9911.

No one in this world should be hungry. That's why the CROP Hunger Walk is more than just a gathering of people in a place. We're part of a movement, taking steps and raising funds together to provide meals for those in our own community who need them -- and supporting programs that create greater food security in communities all around the world.

If we work together, we can end world hunger. So Pullen is participating in the CROP Hunger Walk to support Church World Service (CWS) and help families who are struggling with hunger. Please join us with your steps and donations. Together, we will provide more meals for the growing number of people in our community who need them, and create greater food security in communities around the world.

At Transitions Lifecare Hospice Home, we like to greet each new patient with a handmade blanket as a warm and welcoming touch. It's also a lovely and meaningful thing for the family to hold onto after their loved one passes.

We prefer 32x32 inches or 48x48 inches, but will take whatever your fingers can crank out! Simplicity is preferred, but feel free to be as creative as you need to be. They do need to be machine washable.

Contact volunteer coordinator Heather McClendon at hdoss@transitionslifecare.org, or 919.632.5876, for more details.
