Our Advent journey continues, and we have some very special services planned as we make our way to the Christmas season. This is a perfect season to invite a friend to join you for worship.
Sunday, December 17 at 10:45 am our choir and handbells will present “The Light of Christmas.” Special thanks to David White and all those working so hard to prepare for this special service. Reminder, MadCAAP Adopt-a-Child gifts are due this day by the end of worship.
Sunday, December 24 we invite you to join us for a service of song, scripture, candles and communion. Our Christmas Eve service will be offered at 10 am and again at 5 pm. The 5:00 pm service will be livestreamed. Sunday School will not meet. Finally, make sure you note the worship time change for Sunday, December 31. We will worship at 10 am New Year’s Eve, and Sunday School will not meet.
Church office closes at 1:00 pm Tuesday, Dec. 26-Thursday, Dec. 28.
We hope worship at Parkway Hills this Advent season has aided you in reflecting on the gift of Emmanuel, God with us, and we look forward to our continued worship together.

Our children loved sharing the Wisdom of the Christmas Story at PHUMC Sunday morning. We also enjoyed the evening with fun activities at our Gingerbread Games party. Thank you to all the parents and volunteers that helped organize and support our children's ministry for this day of fellowship.

Each month Parkway Hills designates our communion offering to support a need outside of our walls. Our December communion offering goes to assist "Little Light of Mine," a ministry of Methodist Children's Homes of Mississippi.
Methodist Children’s Homes seek to bring restoration to children and youth who have been neglected or abused. By the end of their time with the MCHMS, it is hoped that those children find reconciliation with their biological families, love within an adoptive family or success as productive, independent individuals.
Methodist Children’s Homes have been providing care and love for children and families in Mississippi since 1896. Originally an orphanage, MCHMS has cared for more than 11,000 children for over a century. They have grown from the original location in Water Valley to multiple homes across the state, and the primary campus is now in Jackson. The legacy of Methodist Children’s Homes has always been that of Christ-centered, generous love — something that will never change.
