Guest Preacher Sunday, March 1: Rev. Lori Till, Pastor of Church and Society at Galloway UMC
I have been serving as Pastor to Church and Society at Galloway UMC in Jackson since July 2020. My main responsibility is to oversee our Grace Place community which meets 4 mornings a week for a free and open breakfast, worship opportunities and clothing closet. I've been connected to Galloway since 2009 when I first came on staff as the Children's Director, and I stayed in touch through the years when I was gone to get my seminary degree. I grew up on the Florida gulf coast, and I love being outside and reading. My husband Andy is a coach, and we have three boys, Riley, Ethan and Aiden.
Recently we celebrated 30 years of ministry at Parkway Hills UMC. Thirty years of worship, small groups, service, and celebratory meals together. Unfortunately, with such milestone moments,comes needed building repair and maintenance. As we prepared our 2026 budget, we included $60,000 to aid with repairing the steeples in both our buildings. This is in addition to $30,000 budgeted for routine building and maintenance needs that arise throughout the year. We know this will require some extra fundraising throughout the year so as not to run a deficit budget. With your help, through an estimate of giving towards the 2026 budget, a gift toward building projects, or both, we can achieve our goal, make our needed building repairs, and fully fund our 2026 budget.
We have two asks:
      1) Prayerfully discern a 2026 estimate of giving toward the mission and ministry of
Parkway Hills and return your card by Sunday, March 8 to aid us in projecting,
financially, how 2026 will look. Cards were mailed last week and are also available at the church.
      2) As you feel led and are able throughout the year, make an additional gift to “Building Projects” to aid with our Porte Cochere and Steeple Repair. You may do so online, through our Vanco mobile app, or with cash or check marked “Building Projects.”
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to any member of our Leadership Board or staff. We give thanks for the generosity of our church family over the past few years enabling us to accomplish so many things in areas of mission, faith development, and building improvement.
We do best the things we do together!
