Welcome     Grow     Serve    Celebrate
Commit to growing your faith as you journey through Advent and Christmas. 
You are invited to take some time during the busyness of this season to rest in the presence of God. Our last Advent Prayer Space is today,11:00 am to 1:00 pm,  Prayer guide available. If you can't make our 4:00 or 6:00 pm Christmas Eve Service, this would be a good way to mark this holy day. 
And don't forget to pick up our "Christmas Is" devotional prepared by Parkway Hills' clergy and members. This devotional will take you through the twelve days of Christmas as we reflect together on this sacred season within the life of our faith. Devotionals are available for pickup in the worship center and the office now.
Parkway Hills UMC will offer Christmas Eve services at 4:00 and 6:00 pm Wednesday, December 24.  We will livestream our 4:00 service and will also have a nursery available for this service only. Then join us back at Parkway Hills Sunday, December 28 at 10:45 am to continue to celebrate Christmas with a service of Carols and Lessons.  We will have donuts, coffee, and juice available in the worship center, so you may come a little early and fellowship. Children, Bridge, Youth, Grace, and Renew Sunday School will not meet.
