Summer is here and we are excited about the upcoming worship opportunities at Parkway Hills! Throughout the month of June we will use the themes from Vacation Bible School, “Operation Restoration,” to shape Sunday morning worship. Each week we will look at a story of Jesus and listen for the ways Jesus invites us to join him in mending God’s world. Beginning July 2 we invite everyone to join us for “The Great Church Chill Out” using the Psalms to help us remember that we were not created to be anxious creatures, but to rejoice, revel, and rest in God’s good creation. Our prayer is that summer may be a time of rest, renewal and fun for you, and that worship each week will provide space to rest and renew in community and in the presence of God. Don’t forget, if you are out and about this summer, you can still engage in worship online @parkwayhillsumc.online.church and you can support the mission and ministry of our church by giving online parkwayhillsumc.org/give or via our Vanco mobile app. We look forward to this summer season within the life of our church. It would be a great time to invite a friend to join us!
Here's a list of the themes for worship:
June 4: Heal/Luke 13:10-17
June 11: Forgive/Matthew 18:21-35
June 18: Pray/Luke 11:1-4
June 25: Lay-Led Worship
