Make plans to walk through this Advent season with Parkway Hills.
Worship each Sunday of Advent and into the Christmas season will be guided by Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Each week, we will reflect on a piece of this beloved story, light a candle, and listen for how the story of Jesus invites our hearts to grow.
Last Sunday we began by lighting the candle of hope. Advent invites us to keep watch, in hope, for the light to break in. Keep watch, in hope, for the reconciliation and renewal begun in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus to be made fully complete, on earth as it is in heaven. If you missed worship November 29, you
can watch it here.
Upcoming Worship Opportunities:
December 4: Our children will lead us in worship and lighting of the candle of Peace.
December 11: Choir and Handbell Christmas Program and lighting of the candle of Joy.
December 18: High School Girls Ensemble Singing, Geoff Davidson preaching, and lighting of the candle of Light.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion and lighting of the Christ candle @ 5 pm;
nursery provided
Christmas Day Brunch Worship: 10 am; Come as you are (pajamas accepted), bring a breakfast dish, and let us share a meal and celebrate the birth of Christ. No Sunday School and a nursery will not be provided.
May we all journey through this season together in worship, in study and reflection, and in celebration. See you at Parkway Hills and invite a friend!
With you on the Journey,
Pastor Dawn

A big thanks to all who volunteered and were willing to give of their time to assist the 1st grade classes at East Flora Elementary School. East Flora Elementary received funding to hire a new teacher for the students, so the tutoring program is no longer needed.
