Calling All Youth Parents!

It has been suggested that in place of a Sunday night parent meeting, we gather for about 30 minutes after worship one Sunday. We ask that at least one parent attend, but anyone is welcome to join including your youth. We will have childcare available for younger siblings if requested.
This Sunday, August 10, in the youth room, immediately following worship we will gather for lunch (provided) and go over the calendar, share about the search committee's work, divide up meals and chaperone obligations, and celebrate this great group of young people.

Please fill out this linked form today so we can make plans.

We are excited about our second Adult VBS Monday, August 18: Make Room for Wonder. Rev. Hannah Shempert, pastor at St. Luke United Methodist Church in Cleveland, MS will be our guest speaker. Bring your curiosity, your laughter, your imagination, your sense of play, and let's join together in making room for the wonder of God to meet us right where we are.

This year will be hosted by Wells United Methodist Church. We will meet at Parkway Hills UMC at 8:30 am to carpool. Event is from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm with lunch included. Wells has their own registration, but we ask that you register through Parkway Hills so we can handle payment and transportation for our group. Cost is $15.

Click here or call the church office to register by noon Thursday, August 14.

Training begins this month for a KAIROS Inside weekend retreat October 9-12, serving the women in Central Mississippi Correctional Center in Pearl. KAIROS Inside is a prison ministry with a mission to develop a Christian community on the inside of a prison. If you are interested in serving in KAIROS, have questions about the ministry, or even can provide home-baked cookies, talk to Connie Starkey, our PHUMC representative for KAIROS.
