January 29, 2025  
When we each play a part and give our own little bit, those little bits add up and we are able to accomplish more than we ever imagined. It is true we do best the things we do together. Over the next few weeks, we will hear about one specific way our giving makes a difference and we will be invited to make our own financial commitment to the mission and ministry at Parkway Hills in 2025.

In Sunday's worship service Susan Branson shared about the clothes closet ministry and the bike ministry at Grace Place and ways we can help. In addition she reminded us about the Race for Grace Place: a 5k run, 1 mile fun run, and a Tot Trot for children 4 and under.  All will take place Saturday, March 29 at 8 am  in front of Galloway UMC and Grace Place. See the flyers and informational cards placed around PHUMC to sign up.
Remember it is because of your faithful giving that we were able to add Grace Place into our budget and that this is just one ministry that your giving makes possible. Think of what more we can do if we each play our part.
In 2025, what part will you play at Parkway Hills? Join in on all the good things already taking place!
Wednesday night meals and programming continue tonight, January 29th.
Following our Mexican Night meal, children (5th and under) will be having Art Night in the Garden Room. Adults will remain in the worship center and listen to a recap on the Mission and Ministry Apart Day. Youth will enjoy a Game Night in the Youth Suite.
Next Wednesday, February 5, we'll have fried chicken! RSVP here for the meal or by tearing off the reservation strip in Sunday's bulletin, or by calling the office. Reservations are due by noon on Monday. 
And go ahead and order your book for our Wednesday night book club that will be March 19. Order a book online or buy at a bookstore and get started reading to be ready to discuss the book Life of the Beloved by Henri J.M. Nouwen.
Join us in partnering with East Flora Elementary School on Friday, February 28th for Read Across America Day. Volunteers will visit classrooms of all ages and read books with very appreciative students. We will meet at PHUMC at 7:30 a.m. and carpool to East Flora Elementary. 

This is always such a wonderful experience. Sign up with this link if you are interested. Contact Pastor Haven if you have any questions.
Did you receive an email from PHUMC Women's Ministry last week? It listed several activities taking place in the next few months. If you didn't receive it, you can read it here, and then email Linda to ask her to add you to our women's ministry email list. We don't want you to miss out on anything!
PHUMC Women's Ministry Secret Galentine's SignUp

It's time for our 4th Annual Secret Galentine SignUp!  Galentine's Day is officially February 13, so let's spread some sisterly love!

There is a price suggestion of approximately $25-$30. The gift should include a gift tag with your name.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this event!

A PHUMC member has expressed interest in a Sit and Be Fit class to be offered at Parkway Hills.  This would be a 45 minute class once a week in the Garden Room. Exercises would be done from a sitting and standing (if able) position working on balance, hand-eye coordination, stretching, and muscle movement. Cost would be between $5 and $10 a class depending on how many attend. Options for the class time would be Tuesday or Wednesday at 2:00 pm. Please click here or call the church office to let us know if you are interested and which day would work for you and we will keep you updated as to whether we can offer this at Parkway Hills or not. If you would like to check out this class, it is currently being offered at the Community Center on Old Canton Road in Madison (by the fire department) Monday and Tuesday at 9:15 am.
