Wednesday Re:treat: Join us tonight for Mexican Dinner at 5:45 and activities for all at 6:20. Adults get to hear the rest of the Leadership Board answer the PHUMC questionnaire, Youth/Bridge will play outdoor games, and Kids will have a inside game night.

For next Wednesday night's reservation
(October 2), click here. The menu will feature Breakfast for Dinner. We do ask that you RSVP by noon Monday, September 30 so we can be good stewards of our resources and know how much to prepare. You can RSVP by clicking the link, calling the church office, or using the space provided in the bulletin each Sunday.

The goal of Parkway Hills' women's ministry is to create community and to serve our community, and we want to hear your ideas about how best we can live into this goal. Join us at Newk's to fellowship, dream, and plan together. Can't make the meeting but have something you would like to see be a part of this ministry, email Pastor Dawn.

It is almost book club time again! As our Wednesday nights continue, it's time to pick up the book (you can order it on Amazon) and start reading this fascinating book we will use toward the end of our Wednesday night gatherings for our book club. Following a recommendation, we have chosen to read The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance, by Jemar Tisby. We will meet Wednesday, October 23 following our 5:45 meal to discuss, and the author will join us via Zoom!
