Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

We had a great Promotion Sunday and return to two services and Sunday School. We continue to cautiously and slowly put things back in place. This Sunday we Dive In to a new series and we hope to see you there! Each Sunday we will look at a story in scripture of one who chose to Dive In and answer God’s call. We will reflect on the questions: How are we being called to be the church in this season? How might I Dive In to worship, service and spiritual formation at Parkway Hills? Small group posters will be posted and clipboards will be out for the next two months. How will you Dive In? Maybe your sermon notes can be as cute at Adelaide Kirk’s!

A reminder of our Sunday morning schedule is below. If you are still a little uneasy about attending worship, I encourage you to attend our 8:30 service. There are fewer people and you will have plenty of room to space out. Just a reminder, masks are required for all those under 12, all those not fully vaccinated, and anyone working with those under 12. We strongly encourage everyone, regardless of vaccination status to wear a mask indoors for now.

Sunday Morning Small Group Opportunities:

Grace Class: Meeting via zoom at 9:30, however if you are at church, there is a group zooming from church

Open Doors: Meeting via zoom at 9:30

Renew: In person in the Parlor

Discovery Class: Meeting via zoom. Will begin in person in one week.

For those who are out-of-town, or any who still feel safer-at-home, we continue to livestream our service on Facebook at 10:45 am, and post the service on our YouTube channel by 11 am.

Our children Had a Ton of Wet Fun on Promotion Sunday at the Waterslide!

Fun, Fun, Fun on a Hot August Sunday Afternoon!
