Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
Saturday, September 14 you are invited to join some of your Parkway Hills friends for dinner, but you won’t know who until you show up! How does it work? Register by Wednesday, September 11. Look for an email assigning you to a home. The host home will also reach out to you to let you know what to bring (side, dessert, salad, bread). Show up at 5:00 pm and enjoy a night out of food and fellowship!
We need host homes to make this night happen! What does it mean to host? As host, you let us know how many people you can seat at your table so we can assign people. You prepare the main course and provide the drinks. We will get you the list of those attending your home so that you can contact them and let them know what to bring (side, dessert, salad, bread). Be ready to greet and get to know your guests at 5:00 pm Saturday, September 14.

East Flora Elementary Planter Beds
Back in April, PHUMC volunteers built eight raised planter beds on the campus of East Flora Elementary School for students to learn how to garden and then enjoy the fruits of their labor. The planted beds are now flourishing. Partnering with East Flora Elementary is one of the ministries of Parkway Hills. For more information, contact Pastor Haven.

 | The Choctaw Mission, on the Reservation in Philadelphia, has existed since the 1800s as a ministry of the United Methodist Conference in Mississippi. The Mission cares and works with the Choctaw people to enrich the lives of children, young people, and families through community outreach, spriritual enrichment, and leadership development. Because children make up the majority of the 11,000 Tribal Members' population, the Mission's purpose for the young people is to provide spiritual and emotional wellbeing to build self-esteem, develop leadership skills, and nurture life skills for a brighter future.
According to Patricia Battle, the Global Ministries Choctaw Mission contact for the United Methodist Church, "The current urgent need is raising funds for Operation Christmas Gifts for children in Tribal Children and Family Services.These children are not full members of the Tribe, come from low-income families and what we give them is probably the only gifts and toys they would get for Christmas. Because of budget cuts and losing some large donors, we are praying we will be able to give the children what is on their Christmas wish list and children in the three Choctaw United Methodist churches a Christmas Celebration and a gift. We greatly appreciate the church designating the Communion offering for the Choctaw Mission."

$878 to date,
