Do you love Christmas music?
Are you a little worried about committing to choir every Sunday night? Then join us in the choir room this Sunday, August 27 @ 5:30 for the Christmas Cantata Reveal! Come listen to some of what we have planned, get all the info on the cantata, meet some of your church family, have some fun, and see if serving in this way this year is right for you. Following August 27 we will continue to practice for the cantata on Sunday nights at 5:30 but we will practice Christmas music first for those who are just attending to participate in the cantata. Nursery is available upon request.

PHUMC Art for the Roof
Parkway Hills family, you stepped up! To date we have raised $55,758.68 of our $60,000 goal. That means we only have $4,241.32 left! If you have not yet given to support this effort, we hope you are looking at how you may help us in raising the roof.
We have eight days left, and some Parkway Hills members are sharing their artistic gifts to aid us in reaching our goal. Our quilters have donated a fabulous quilt, valued at $300, (or you can come to the quilt closet and pick out a quilt!). Charles Guess has donated one of his paintings (a 1' x 3' canvas valued at $600, but the winner is welcome to choose another of same value from Charles' huge collection). Judy Russell provided a beautiful birdhouse (value $100), and Bob Russell has given one of his handmade wooden bowls (value $80). You can purchase a ticket and possibly go home with some PHUMC Art for the Roof.
Tickets are $15 and we find out the lucky winners Wednesday, Sept. 6 at our first Wednesday night meal together at 5:45. You do not have to be present to win and the art will be given in this order: 1st ticket = quilt, 2nd ticket = Charles Guess painting, 3rd ticket = Birdhouse, 4th ticket = Wooden Bowl. You can use this link to get a ticket and pay via our Vanco mobile app or online here (look for PHUMC Art for the Roof). You can also get paper tickets and give in person at the church. We hope you will invite coworkers, family, and friends to purchase a ticket. If every household sells 5 tickets, we will reach our goal and then some. Any extra funds we receive above the cost of the roof will be used for other building needs. We do best what we do together Parkway Hills, so let’s continue to work together to raise the roof!

We are in need of Extended Session volunteers. Extended Session is a time during the worship service that children explore and connect with scripture through activities, crafts and games. We offer Extended Session to children in K5 and younger. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Pastor Haven.
Sunday School Volunteers: We are currently studying the celebrations in the Bible. There are three Sunday School classes from PreK - 4th grade, and all need volunteers. We need 1st grade teachers for this Sunday and all grade teachers for the following Sunday; click here to sign up to teach. All volunteers must have a background check before volunteering in children's ministry.
