Children's Ministries Volunteer Meeting is this Sunday, May 21 following the Worship Service. All volunteers are encouraged to join us for Safe Sanctuary and VBS Training. We are still in need of several station leaders and small group leaders. If you are interested in volunteering for Children's Ministry, this meeting will be informational for background checks, volunteer opportunities, and VBS details.
Lunch is provided.
Save the Date: Day of Service Saturday, June 10
The Women’s Ministry of Parkway Hills has been intentional about service over the past few years and wanted to offer a church-wide day of service this year.
Saturday, June 10, we will have various opportunities to serve. You may sign up here or via a clipboard in the back of the Worship Center! If you signed the clipboard last Sunday, your name has been added already.
Opportunities include Habitat Faith Build (need 10-12 for the morning shift); aiding Pastor Haven at the church getting ready for VBS; working at the church on building maintenance, cleanup, and yard work; or Big House Books.

This July our youth will be serving at the Good Samaritan Center as part of their summer programming.  Read below to find out more about this organization and ways you can support them through some upcoming events they asked us to share with our church family.
"The Good Samaritan Center is a private, non-profit social service agency serving families and individuals in crisis situations since 1972. It was started under the direction and financial support of seven Jackson churches. Since that time, The Good Samaritan Center has grown to include a main office in Jackson, as well as an office in Laurel, Mississippi. The Good Samaritan Center's Mission is to assist families and individuals in emergency situations. We have a clothing closet, a food pantry, a vintage resale store N.U.T.S. (Neat Used Things for Sale) and we staff a community center, The Envision Center, located on Albemarle Road.  
The Good Samaritan Center has three Charity Runs. The charity run coming up in July is our Balloon Chase in Canton, Mississippi, on Saturday, July 1st.
The link to register is here.   Our charity run, 12K's for the Holidays at the Cedars in North Fondren, is on November 18, 2023: Register here.
Sunday School Volunteers: We are starting a new Sunday School unit and learning about the early life of the church as we Celebrate Wonder in the Garden on Sundays starting at 9:30 a.m. If you are interested in volunteering, click here to sign up to teach. All volunteers must have a background check before volunteering in children's ministry.  
PHUMC's Vacation Bible School Registration: Rising Kindergarteners - 6th grade are welcome to attend VBS June 11 - 14, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Our theme this year is Operation Restoration, where we learn about the many ways to mend God's world. Click this link to register. This is a great opportunity for your kids to invite friends and neighbors to join in the fun.

Captial Area Habitat for Humanity's 2023 Faith Build is currently undeway. The home, located at 4663 Estelle Drive in Jackson, will house Latonia Blackmon and her 5 children (ages 16, 14, 12, 10, and 8), allowing her to move from a 3 bedroom apartment where she pays $1,200 a month in rent to a 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath home for $500-600 a month. All of this is possible because of monetary and building efforts of area churches. Parkway Hills has committed $1,000 to aid with the project. Our May Communion Offering will go toward this commitment and maybe even beyond! Our work day is the morning of  Saturday, June 10. We will need 10 to 12 volunteers.
