Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

May 14, 2025

In our Sunday worship service we welcomed Eloise Glen Williams, baptized by Pastor Dawn.

Eloise is the daughter of Tony and Katy Williams, and sibling to sister Stevie.

We celebrated the baptism of Eloise Glen Williams, and now her banner is hanging on the wall to remind us every Sunday of our commitment to her:

With God's help we will live the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will embody faith, hope, and love so that Eloise will learn to trust God and live Love's service in the world. We will pray for her on her journey of discipleship among us. May it be so.

Thanks to Rebecca Olack for making the lovely banner

It is time for our annual Women's Ministry Plant Swap. Bring a snack to share, a plant to swap, and come enjoy an evening of fellowship and connection Thursday, May 22 at 5:30. Not a plant person? That's okay! You can pick up a plant at the store, or a pot, or really anything and join in the fun, or you can just come hang out. Judy Porter has agreed to host this year. Reach out to her for directions and we will see you there.

The goal of Parkway Hills' Women's ministry is to provide opportunities for creating community for the women of the church and to reflect on ways the women of the church can serve our community. If you have ideas on ways we can live into this mission, let Pastor Dawn know.

Join PHUMC as we Swing into Summer with Madison the City on Thursday, May 22. We will meet at the church at 4:30 p.m. and carpool to the Caboose. The event will end around 8 p.m., and we will head back to the church at that time. To sign up, click the link. Contact Pastor Haven for more details.
