Our stewardship focus continues and I hope you are praying over how you feel called to support the mission and ministry of Parkway Hills in 2022. As we look forward to 2022, how are we carrying on the original vision and mission of Parkway Hills with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness? Parkway Hills began in 1994 with a dream of offering a fresh expression of God’s love through worship, study, service, and fellowship. Throughout October, we have focused on God’s scandalous, extravagant love using Romans 8. We let Romans 14 and 15 help us see how to be love by being a safe space for those who have never experienced church. Last Sunday, we listened as our guest preacher talked about church being “home.” This Sunday we will once again use Romans to remind ourselves that we are called to be a place for everyone. With only 15 remaining payments left on our mortgage, we commit to living out the original dreams of Parkway Hills. Let us finish strong and stay strong by remembering why we started in the first place!

Safety Update: A Note from Pastor DawnWe continue to cautiously move forward and keep an eye on the Covid cases. Here is our most recent recommendation after consulting medical professionals in our church and conferring with the Leadership Team.
Masks will continue to be worn inside regardless of vaccination status. In worship, once seated, if you are fully vaccinated and feel you are sufficiently separated from other households, your mask may be removed. We ask, however, that you wear your mask during congregational singing as singing causes more risk. Everyone not fully vaccinated or working closely with children under 12 inside the building, must wear a mask.
