Haven's Here!!
Last Sunday morning, we welcomed Rev. Haven Boyd, our new Associate Pastor for Children and Outreach Ministries, on her first Sunday with a brunch in the Garden Room.
Sunday July 10 will be the day we share a Welcome Meal with Haven after our youth-led worship as we "Pack the Pantry" for her. Bring in pantry items and gift cards as we celebrate her being a part of our PHUMC family.
Don't forget to send her an email: haven@parkwayhillsumc.org to tell her how happy we are that she's joined us and that we look forward to getting to know her as we work together.
This Sunday we continue our worship series, “Come to the Water.”  Water is everywhere in scripture. Throughout July we will look at passages where water helps us reflect on our story of faith. Summer is in full swing which means it is HOT.  We all too well understand the value of water this time of year. This month, as you drink that glass of refreshing cool water, as you water those drying plants, as you get soaked by the pop up summer storm, as you relax and play at the pool or at the beach, as you simply change your sweat soaked clothes….again, allow those moments to remind you of the waters that name us and claim us. I hope to see you in July as we dive into a new series and if your summer plans do not allow you to be present in person, remember, you can always engage in worship and give online. May we all come to the water!

PHUMC Homeless Ministry Volunteers have been busy preparing and delivering packages to Grace Place. Jerry Sandlin took five watermelons. Juliet Huam, Joe Williams, John Reed and Jeannie Chunn delivered 92 packages of toiletries and 500 pairs of Bombas socks. Our newest staff member, Rev. Haven Boyd (second from left), made her first visit with the volunteers to Grace Place.

SERVE
Parkway Hills will once again participate in the Habitat for Humanity Women Build. As a church, we gave a $1000 sponsorship to aid with the build.  Our June communion offering has aided with this expense. To date our June communion offering is $882 which means we are $118 short of covering the full sponsorship. In addition to our sponsorship, we will participate in the build for the morning shift Saturday, August 13 from 7:45 to noon. They request 10 to 12 volunteers per shift. Let Pastor Dawn know if you can attend.There is an available afternoon shift from 12:45 to 4. If you would like to work the afternoon shift, just let Pastor Dawn know and she will let the Women Build coordinators know to expect you.  
Our Youth are learning, celebrating, and serving at Panama City Beach this week. Pray for them on this journey of faith.
