February Communion Offering:
Honduras Becas con Bendiciones
“Scholarships with Blessings”
For 17 years, Parkway Hills has sponsored school children in Honduras through Becas con Bendiciones (Scholarships with Blessings). Every year we receive thank-you letters and pictures and drawings from our sponsored children, many of whom we have supported throughout their schooling. The school year in Honduras begins in February and ends in November. Our sponsorships pay for required school uniforms, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, and during COVID restrictions, neighborhood wi-fi access so that children can continue their studies virtually. The children we sponsor live in the La Cofradia community of Danli, a city in southeastern Honduras. Becas works in coordination with La Cofradia Methodist Church, which provides Bible studies, food programs, etc., to support students and their families.

Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts) at Parkway Hills
Some Stats to Brag About
In March of 2008, PHUMC chartered the Pack with 5 boys and 6 Leaders. We chartered Troop 164 in January 2010, and we chartered Troop 19 in August 2019 as our first Girl Troop. Over the years PHUMC has had the largest Pack and second largest Troop in the State. When Covid 19 hit in 2020 there was a 30% loss in registrations for our units. Council wide there was a 50% loss. We have continued to recruit and our numbers are climbing again.Currently we have 164 registered Scouts with 62 leaders:
Pack 164 (Family Pack) 86 youth/22 leaders
Troop 19 (Girl Troop) 13 youth/10 leaders
Troop 164 (Boy Troop) 54 youth/18 leaders
Ship 782 (Co-ed) 11 youth/12 leaders
Scouting has been a very successful ministry of the church and continues to grow. In 2021 Troop 164 had their biggest Eagle Class with 16 Eagle Scouts, bringing our 10 year total to 78 Eagle Scouts since 2011. In 2021 Troop 19 had it’s first Eagle Scout. Katie Nothbohm was the first female Eagle Scout for the Andrew Jackson Council. Twenty-three new Scouts just crossed over from Pack 164 to Troop 164 (Boys) and Troop 19 (Girls) on January 24, 2022.
We are very fortunate to have so many dedicated leaders that attend training and continue training throughout their Scouting experience. We have more trained leaders in our units than surrounding units. Current PHUMC members involved in Scouting BSA:
Clayton Pickle, Cubmaster
Laura Pickle, Pack Treasurer/Committee
Matthew Kirk, Asst Scoutmaster
Wade Watts, Asst Scoutmaster
Rick Kolar, joined as a Den Leader and has served in many roles, eventually Scoutmaster in 2010
Chris Gibbs, Chartered Organization Representative since 2008
