Our Lenten journey has begun. I hope part of your Lenten discipline will be a commitment to worship. Each Sunday of Lent, we will meet individuals in the Gospel of John whose face to face encounters with Jesus helped them understand what it means to make a shift, to release, so that they could joyously receive the gospel message. This Sunday, we meet Nicodemus who comes to Jesus in the night and continues to pop up throughout the gospel.

Lent Pop-up Book Club: Lent is the perfect season to dive into some reading that may push us out of our comfort zones. If you are looking for something during this Lenten season to engage, join us in reading “The Cross and the Lynching Tree” by James H. Cone. Pick up a copy of the book, read through Lent, then join your church family for food, fellowship, and conversation Wednesday, April 5 in the Garden multipurpose room. Bring a snack to share. Drinks will be provided.

Pick up your Lenten Jar for your family today, and help our Children's Ministry collect coins for the Webster Animal Shelter. See Haven to get your family jar. The children chose the Webster Animal Shelter because of their love and care for animals that do not have homes yet. The Lenten Jars were designed by our Children on the Wednesday Re:Treat Art Night.
If you'd like to match the children's donation, or assist in giving to the Webster Animal Shelter,
contact Pastor Haven or give through our Vanco Mobile App.

PHUMC's New Little Free Library
Thanks to Tatia Kiser, Parkway Hills UMC has our very own Little Free Library! This will be a great addition to our beautiful campus and another layer of hospitality to those who find their way to PHUMC.Take a look at the message below from Tatia to get all the info, tell her “Thank you!” when you see her, and get to reading!
"This past fall, I applied for a grant from the Mississippi Library Commission for a Little Free Library to be located at PHUMC for the community. We were recently awarded the grant and after consultation with Pastor Dawn and our Trustee committee the Madison County Library System delivered a library kit to be housed on our church campus! Thanks to Bill Flynn for installing the unit! The Little Free Library foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to be a catalyst for building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access through a global network of volunteer-led Little Free Libraries.
The Little Free Library motto is "Take a Book, Leave a Book, Love a Book, Keep a Book." Feel free to borrow, donate, read, and enjoy! The Madison County Library System will be occasionally checking in on the unit and we will be having a LFL Grand Opening in the coming weeks. The library location will also be listed on the LFL website." -Tatia
If you have any questions or a large amount of books to share, contact Tatia Kiser.
