Let's have a little fun with Super Bowl Sunday while doing good! How can you participate?  Bring in soup for MadCAAP by Sunday, February 13th.  Place your soup in the box for the team you think will win, then join us for a soup lunch immediately following worship Sunday, February 13th. During lunch we will see which team collected the most soup and that will be our guess for who will win the Super Bowl that night.  We may even have a little Super Bowl trivia during lunch!  To help us prepare, please click the link to say yes or no by Friday, February 11; 

New every morning is your love, great God of light, and all day long you are working for good in our world. Stir up in us a desire to serve you, to live peacefully with our neighbors and all your creation, and to devote each day to your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Recognize any of these Littles? 2005-2006 was the year the Wednesday Night PHUMC Kids completed five mission projects. One of the projects was our first Honduras Becas con Bendiciones partnership. For the past 17 years, PHUMC has sponsored school children in Honduras. Our February's Communion Offering continues this tradition. 

The Beginning of Scholarships with Blessings:
When this year's college seniors were in kindergarten - yes, that long ago - PHUMC's Wednesday night children's program studied United Methodist missions in Honduras, learning a little Spanish, sampling some Honduran foods, and discovering that kids in Honduras got only four or five years of schooling because their parents couldn't afford to pay for uniforms, school supplies, and fees. So our kids jumped in to help. They began collecting change at home and at church, made announcements to the congregation, decorated collection boxes for Wednesday night supper tables, and quickly raised $300 for "Scholarships with blessings" to help kids in Honduras stay in school longer. Since that beginning in January 2006, Parkway Hills has sponsored dozens of Honduran children. We receive thank-you letters and pictures from our sponsored kids every year. They are so grateful for our support!

Welcome, Jean!!

We welcome Jean Dunn to the kitchen!  Table fellowship is a key piece of Christian practice.  We give thanks that Jean has answered the call to step into our kitchen and aid our church with fellowship and outreach events.  Jean spent two days last week cleaning out and organizing the kitchen in the worship center.  Thank you, Jean, because that was a chore!!!
 
We invite you to welcome Jean to the position of Kitchen Coordinator and share your dreams and ideas with her over how we may continue the ancient practice of table fellowship and how we might welcome new faces to the table!  If you feel called to aid with our fellowship and outreach events, please let Jean know.
